So many different versions of me… early me: The Drifters “up on the roof”, ray charles, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman,“ sing sing sing”. Julie London, “Cry Me A River” Johnny Cash, Don’t Take Your Guns To Town”. And “Little Dog” by Mitch Miller and the Sandpipers” I still have that 45! All my mom’s influence!
Later: The Beachboys, The Beatles, The Animals, Paul Revere and The Raiders, The Monkees,
Later: The Stones, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Clapton, Deep Purple, Spooky Tooth
Later: The Dead, Ry Cooder, Old And In The Way, Dylan, The Band , The Byrds, Neil Young, James Taylor, CSNY, Joe Cocker, Loggins and Messina,

Later: Wilco, Roseanne Cash, Gillian Welsh and David Rawlings, Crowded House, Blake Mills, …
Today I heard a new band and listened all afternoon to their album “Waiting For The End To Come” by Beta Radio. Last week it was a new to me band, The Silos.
But I digress. My first favorite song was The previously mentioned, “Little Dog”.
My first Beatles song was I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND, but my early Beatles’ favorite was THANK YOU, GIRL… I preferred Motown, the Supremes, Drifters, the Shirelles ( all of whom I got to dance with, one on one..)
George Michael “Faith”, I recorded it on a VHS tape in 2006 and played it until it broke. Still an all time favorite
I remember you liking Rod Stewart at the grocery store

Little Red Corvette was the first song I loved. Much later, it was Papa Don't Preach.
