Music She Liked


I think that Mom's favorite singer was Anne Murray:

She used to listen to Anne in the kitchen while making dinner.
I think we feel very comforted by hearing Anne's songs because of this, even the newer ones that Mom had never heard.
Here's Anne singing "Snowbird." thanks, You Tube!

At my wedding, Dad and I danced to Anne's version of "What a Wonderful World". Before the wedding I could hardly listen to it without tearing up and it was a little hard to dance in front of so many people, but we got through it. Anne hadn't done this version when Mom was alive.
Someone made a YouTube video of a compliation of images of Otago, New Zealand with this song in the background, makes me want to go to NZ.



We think that she also liked John Denver, but not sure if this was because the only two 8 tracks we had for our VW Campmobile were John Denver's "Some Days are Diamonds" and Luciano Pavarotti's "Greatest Hits".

Here's an interesting YouTube of John singing Some Days are Diamonds on a German show in 1982. "Meine Damen und Herren - John Denver!"
