Subject: RE: Suggestion song for Wedding anniversary From: Le Scaramouche Date: 18 Jul 05 - 04:59 PM What sort of music do they like? |

Subject: RE: Suggestion song for Wedding anniversary From: fi_in_nz Date: 18 Jul 05 - 05:11 PM Interesting - Help! was at number one when they got married. I'd like to find a folk song to sing if possible. They mostly listen to classical music, but I'm not up to an aria I'm afraid. F |

Subject: RE: Suggestion song for Wedding anniversary From: GUEST,briagha Date: 18 Jul 05 - 05:48 PM How about Eric Bogle's song, "The Belle of Broughton?" |

Subject: RE: Suggestion song for Wedding anniversary From: kytrad (Jean Ritchie) Date: 18 Jul 05 - 06:49 PM I would donate, "Sweet Sorrow in the Wind," composed on my own 25th. Our 55th is coming up- so maybe the song worked! |

Subject: RE: Suggestion song for Wedding anniversary From: GLoux Date: 19 Jul 05 - 10:53 AM Laurie Lewis wrote and sang "Clark and Hazel" on The Oak and Laurel CD. It was written for their 50th anniversary. Just change the names... -Greg |

Subject: RE: Suggestion song for Wedding anniversary From: Pete Peterson Date: 19 Jul 05 - 11:32 AM Sweet Sorrow in the Wind-- what a good idea! Flower from the Fields of Alabama (old recording: Burnett and Rutherford; modern: Red Mountain White Trash, and they have an extra verse!) is one we've sung at weddings, as is "When the roses bloom in Dixieland" (Carter Family) and "Rose of my Heart" (Hugh Moffatt) OR just make up your own, especially for them. I did this for two friends who just celebrated their 14th anniversary. . . |

Subject: RE: Suggestion song for Wedding anniversary From: GUEST,Gerry Date: 19 Jul 05 - 11:14 PM Tom Lehrer's When You Are Old And Gray. Somewhat more seriously, there's Stan Rogers' Lies. There's the duet Tevye & his wife do in Fiddler On The Roof, where he keeps asking her, "Do you love me?" I'd stay away from John McCutcheon's The Red Corvette. |

Subject: RE: Suggestion song for Wedding anniversary From: Rasener Date: 20 Jul 05 - 09:14 AM Forty years ago "I got you babe" was in the charts. I could imagine that gong down really well sung in a folky way and maybe slowing it down and using the people there to do the chorus. In fact with a bit of imagination it could be a real hoot. |

Subject: RE: Suggestion song for Wedding anniversary From: Paco Rabanne Date: 20 Jul 05 - 11:43 AM The Anniversary Song. Can't remenmber who wrote it but Eva Cassidy recorded it. Should be easy to track down. |

Subject: RE: Suggestion song for Wedding anniversary From: Paco Rabanne Date: 20 Jul 05 - 12:00 PM Yeah... I usually suggest Motorhead's 'Ace of Spades' |

Subject: RE: Suggestion song for Wedding anniversary From: skipy Date: 20 Jul 05 - 06:00 PM Is this it? just pulled it out of google:- Today has been a special day An anniversary, a request That you play your piano As the evening sun slowly sets Chorus:- I never thought I'd get this old dear Never had a reason to live so long And the Lord's been like my shadow Even when I was wrong No I never thought it would turn out this way A birthday with apologies For all the tears and regrets And I've always saved your poetry For those years when you forget Chorus:- I never thought I'd… So sing with me softly As the day turns to night And later I'll dream of paradise with you I love you and good night |

Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN I'M SIXTY-FOUR (Lennon/McCartney) From: open mike Date: 21 Jul 05 - 01:14 PM WHEN I'M SIXTY-FOUR (Lennon/McCartney) As recorded by The Beatles on "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1967) When I get older losing my hair Many years from now Will you still be sending me a valentine Birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I'd been out till quarter to three Would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four? You'll be older too And if you say the word I could stay with you I could be handy, mending a fuse When your lights have gone You can knit a sweater by the fireside Sunday mornings go for a ride Doing the garden, digging the weeds Who could ask for more? Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four? Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight If it's not too dear We shall scrimp and save Grandchildren on your knee Vera, Chuck & Dave Send me a postcard, drop me a line Stating point of view Indicate precisely what you mean to say Yours sincerely, wasting away Give me your answer, fill in a form Mine for evermore Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four? Ho! (do they have grand children...change the names??) |
