A Favorite

We are all creatures of habit. I am about to divulge a fact about myself that few people know. When I am alone in the car I sing – loudly. And, I am partial to one particular song – Born in the USA.


To be honest, I’m not sure why this song calls me when I am driving. Maybe it brings me back to high school when my group of friends would sing this same song in chorus wherever we went. Maybe it is because one of my first concerts ever was Bruce Springsteen. Or maybe I just really like the song.


What is your favorite song to play in the car?

Any song that relates to "Ballroom Dancing" (my hobby), latin my favorite! Some examples, Suave Mente - a merengue, Going to Shenzhen - a cha cha, Spanish Eyes, a rhumba, Summer Wind - a Fox Trot. Yes, that's me dancing in the car!!!!!

So funny that you posted this today. My friend sent my an email, "I just heard Chick a Boom Chick a Boom on the car radio."

You mean play on the subway?
I can sing Don't Rain On My Parade at almost any moment.

This week's favorite is SUGAR by Maroon 5 :) I have to keep changing stations so I can hear it as much as I can :)

This is dangerous. In the car when there was good radio, I loved to play it. Now not much there for me; I program my own station on iTunes and sometimes play it (part of radio joy is hearing songs you like that you might not think to play while I drive.
Question to Nancy, how loud does the volume go when you pay BITUSA? That song was devised to play LOUD!!!!. Do you crank up the stereo? I just use to blow folks away play the cassette on my blauhpunct back in the say.
I have a preference for longer songs while driving. Examples include:
24 Hours At A Time (Marshall Tucker Band) http://tiny.cc/58knvx
Ride The Country (Poco live) http://tiny.cc/4clnvx (note to Fred your Keysmate wrote it, sings lead and plays some smoking guitar riffs)
Mystic Highway (John Fogerty) http://tiny.cc/hilnvx
We Were The Dreamers (new song by the Richie Furay Band) http://tiny.cc/brlnvx
(someone might induce me to post more)

Those of you that know me well, will not be surprised by this response. I have two CD's that stay in my car player all the time. I blast them to put me in a super happy mood.
1) My son Jeff composed, recorded and signs/plays a beautiful song he created just for me for my 50th B'day. It's so touching in terms of the words; he layered several instruments all played by him including guitar, keyboards, flutes. If you're ever in my car it's CD # 1 so I'll proudly play it for you! 2) I have the entire sound track to the EPCOT Illuminations of Earth Fireworks. It starts with great drumming and fireworks. It culminates with harmonies that my talented daughters nail every time they sing along. Just love how music lifts the spirit. Sign LOUD & Proud Nancy :)
