Playlist post #1

I'm often asked about what music I currently have on my playlist - it's an interesting question for me since most things are in the cloud or on YouTube these days and access to music is so much easier then it ever was with the first iPods.  Nevertheless, I know I'm not the only one that creates playlists in iTunes and has a 'favorites' folder. And the DJ part of my past always can't help but keep a steady stream of variety playing. 

So I will do a few random posts coming up about what's currently in my playlist (for those of you who may be curious).  Then I've covered my bases.  Here are three to start off the fun!

1. Olly Murs - "Dance with Me Tonight"  (the first half of the video is a little lame, but I like the end)

2. Rodrigo y Gabriela - "Hanuman"  (thanks to George Reed - they are incredible players!)

3. Loona - "Vamos a la Playa - Extended Mix"

Found it! But it wasn't really lost...

With as much traveling as I do, I'm amazed that I haven't had any major loss of anything as I've flown around.  And the only major issue that I can recall of off the top of my head was the first time I landed in Doha and my luggage didn't make it till the second day (British Airways didn't even compensate me for that experience, but I still had an awesome time in Club World).

Recently I had a different kind of experience, relating to something that I lost: a track.  This was a certain favorite track that I for the life of me could not recall the name of or who wrote it, but I've been singing it over and over in my head (and most of last week).  I even tried singing it into Shazam and that didn't work.  My only remaining option was to go through all of my classical CD's that made sense...and because I knew it had flute/recorder and violin, I started in with Telemann and Vivaldi (leaving discs like Mahler and others in the binder) and holding off on my desire to pop in Mozart.  And...after much classical music enjoyment...it was found!  I had to laugh at myself when I found it, mostly because of who the composer is and what it's part of.  Silly me.

This is probably one of my all-time favorite movements and I'm happy to share it...enjoy!
