Listening to a men's chorus sing the French National Anthem in honor of Bastille Day. (With Placido Domingo singing the solos.) I'm thinking it sounds nice.

Bay of Fundy as sung by Gordon Bok. I'm learning it. I'm also working on When the Coho Flash Silver. I've been into nautical songs lately. Nautical but nice.

Right now? [ - - - - - - ]

However, yesterday about this time I was being driven slowly mad by several songs that I absolutely hate, and which one hears frequently on radios and in shopping centers, etc.

I will spare you all, and not name them.

The second movement of Debussy's Images Pour Orchestre. I'm also hearing the second movement of Ponce's Sonata Romántica. I wonder how they would sound together? I guess I'm in a "quasi-classical mood" as well. But why is it that the second movements are almost always the best?

In the midst of all this music is a pretty girl. But I guess this isn't the thread for discussing that.

Most every morning, I wake up with some tune running through my head. Sometimes it's something interesting, somtimes it's some stupid jingle from a commercial, sometimes it's something that my mind remembers from a dream.

Right this very minute though, it would be the newest song I am trying to learn. And, of course, it is something Celtic. ;D

I once heard that if you have a tune stuck in your head and it's driving you crazy, you can get rid it by thinking of the theme from The Odd Couple. I don't know if it's power of suggestion or what but it works for me. To answer the question: "Manchester Rambler" by Ewan MacColl. (I don't know how to get rid of the theme frome The Odd Couple.)

Da Slockit Lite, after hearing the sables/pirt/stephenson Cd. It sounded familiar and I managed to get a version of the tune from JCs and I am practicing it (the G sharp still catches me out)
Last wednesday I went along to the Red House pub, the first time in several months, and listened to the tunes being played. That is why the tune is so familiar, they play it there among all the other tunes I haven't yet learned.

And if when you are far away
