1. Total volume of music files on my computer:

My Windows machine - maybe 1 gig
My other hard drive - 2000+ mp3's
2. Last CD I bought: Soundtrack from The Phantom of the Opera
3. Song playing right now: None (watching Sci-Fi and doing this meme)
4. Five Songs I listen to a lot or mean a lot to me:
1. Our first Christmas together Steven bought me a framed gold record of - Love Me Tender.
2. Ray Charles' - Georia On My Mind - It is.
3. Amazing Grace - I sang it solo one time.
4. Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Because.
5. Lullabye's I sang to my babies. Pick one or twelve or twenty!
Bonus: The song playing in my head right now:
When I take you out, tonight, with me,
Honey, here's the way it's goin' to be:
You will set behind a team of snow white horses,
In the slickest gig you ever see!
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters.
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop!
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown,
The dashboard's genuine leather,
With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down,
In case there's a change in the weather.
Two bright sidelight's winkin' and blinkin',
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'
You c'n keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!
Did you say the fringe was made of silk
Wouldn't have no other kind but silk
Does it really have a team of snow white horses
One's like snow, the other's more like milk
All the world'll fly in a flurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
When we hit that road, hell fer leather,
Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather,
Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the toads will hop!
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along,
The cows'll moo in the clover,
The river will ripple out a whispered song,
And whisper it over and over:
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and ud never stop
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!
I can see the stars gettin' blurry,
When we drive back home in the surrey,
Drivin' slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top!
I can feel the day gettin' older,
Feel a sleepy head on my shoulder,
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder, till it falls kerplop!
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill;
The moon is takin' a header,
And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still,
A lark'll wake up in the medder.
Hush, you bird, my baby's a-sleepin'!
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'
Whoa! you team, and jist keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop.
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top!
It has been a day of show tunes in my head!
I don't think there is anyone to tag. Mostly everyone I have read has already done this one.
Hello! I'm new to your site (thank Hoss) and just wanted to identify myself... very much enjoying your site so far and wanted to say thanks for the enjoyment and entertainment :D
When I think of the bonus song I think of Billy Crystal singing that song into a karaoke machine in When Harry Met Sally!
Good job on the meme! I like your taste in music! I think we'd get along quite well musically.
I was going to say the same thing Raehan said about when Harry met Sally. That is one of my favorite movies. I used to do scenes from it all the time in school. I soooo wanted to be Meg Ryan!!
Angie, regarding your comment to me: We are the result of all the things that happen to us in our lives. If you had not gone through the first marriage, you would not "be" the person you needed to be with Steven. Everything happens for a reason, and for most people, I believe it works out as it is supposed to. Good for you for finding the ONE.
Angie: I think kenju, in saying it good you found "the ONE", means the Red Car. What else could it mean?
thanks for the words about the slurry. with my bad hearing I could never make 'em out.
(slurry = surrey)
