Hi there, everyone!!! I've gotten several pm's and figured it was time to explain my absence. I am currently 14 weeks pregnant (1st child) and the nausea that comes with has unfortunately kept me out of my office. I've missed you all so much - your companionship, your songs, and I know I've also missed some birthdays here and there! I hope to be back to SS fulltime very soon!!

My submission for this challenge - I'm Sorry

Here I come with a fresh recording

Statesboro Blues The Allman Brothers Band
http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/b7ec5c28

They came to the Hall of Fame in 1995.
"Sadly, the Allman Brothers Band was dealt a catastrophic blow when Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle crash in Macon, Georgia, on October 29, 1971. A year later, on November 11, 1972, bassist Berry Oakley died under eerily similar circumstances only a few blocks from where Duane’s accident had occurred. "
I just came from staying in that area...have family about 15 minutes from Macon, GA.

Quote

I'm not a huge Pink Floyd fan; I probably would've been had Syd Barrett stayed with the band and had not been so, um, Syd (and maybe I would've appreciated them more had I had more extracurricular activities)? I became familiar with this song because of the Wondermints cover (I LOVE the Wondermints). This is a Syd song, and probably didn't help Pink Floyd get in the Hall of Fame, but here's...

Arnold Layne

I just heard Macon, GA was wiped out by the tornadoes on Mothers Day! Omgoshhhhhhhhh!

Welcome to another week where Everyone's A Winner :-D
Hello Mike & Ally! ... and CONGRATULATIONS RACHEL!!!!

I've started the new playlist and will keep it updated as I can; last weeks is also completed...details below.

First I want to thank Bruce for running a great challenge last week, and everyone for the warm responses to my Ave Maria, which I've so far repaid in miserly fashion. Last week and this one are absolutely crazy with rehearsals and concerts, leaving me little time at home and usually burnt out on music when I arrive. I have an audition tomorrow but will hope to catch up on my listens after that!

************************************************

For each week's EAW installment I try to maintain a playlist of all the songs submitted under the theme.

You can always find the most current one at my playlist page:

------------> Cantare's Excellent Compendium of PlayLists <------------

All of the past ones are there as well...so, in the early hours of a Challenge when there isn't much to listen to yet, you're welcome to go back and catch a few of the late entries from the preceding week. The last few pages often don't get much exposure.

Please note that under current SS policy, playlists unfortunately are accessible only to Gold members.

Congratulations Rachel!!!

I've been thinking about you a lot lately
and today was the day I was gonna pm you
to find out what was up.

Now I know! Yippee! Big congratulations you sweetie you!

Muah!

P.S. I'll be back later. I have to
go have my after work nap first.

Oooo, sorry I am a wee bitty late, I was in the important process of melting chocolate, something you just can't leave Mmmmmm. Um. Yeah, can't sing right now or you'll see the chocolate on the end of my nose from sticking it in the bowl heheh.

Okay, for now, cos I'm feeling lazy LOL, this was actually posted a couple of challenges ago but a few folk here haven't seen it so I'll post it again... I actually love this one and didn't have to edit my trivia as it was exactly what we are looking for here :D

Dusty Springfield
(inducted 1999)

I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten

For those of you that did hear it, I'm sorry, I'll give you something new when I can decide out of all those delicious possibilities what I want to do :D

vvv Whoa! Sorry to hear this Jubi... on my way ;-)

Edited on May 13, 2008 at 7:40 PM Quote

Well, it seems Jubi is in need of some ratings revival.

I just went by and uprated all the songs on your first page Jubi. Hopefully, some others here will stop by and help counteract your rater hater. And all your songs sound great so obviously whoever keeps downrating those songs has issues.

^^I'm there^^ Jubi that sux.. I will go visit you right now! :)) (((hugz)))

Hello everyone :) My sister and I, Justcuz (Laura), lost our Grandmother this past Friday. We were blessed to have her for a good long time :) and we know she's dancing with the angels.

I just wanted to apologize for posting a song, and running out quickly without listening a few challenges back. I promise I'll be back for the next challenge, and listen to all of you fine folks :)

I miss our little family here :))

After The Gold Rush

Quote

I've managed to make a start, going to be a lot of fun listening in on this one.

But for now, I need to sleep. Nite all ;-)

Quote

I'm not ignoring the posts above, just on for a bit; I will have more time to read tomorrow. Hubby and I are rearranging the house to move the computer and mixer into another room so I won't feel like I'm bothering anyone and I can record in peace. Unfortunately, all we've done so far is make a bigger mess!

I'm going to post a pre-record, but I'm excited about this challenge; I have my 'real' entry already in mind and did a few practices.

For now, this is I Only Want to Be With You by Dusty Springfield. The beginning phrase is flat, so close your ears, please :>

http://www.singsnap.com/snap/watchandlisten/play/bbbe4f99

Dusty Springfield was inducted in 1999 under the category performer. She was born 4/16/39, and died 3/2/99.
