First Date or First Love Songs...

Don't remember, but I love this song:

I Wanna Be The One...

...in Control.

Ms. Jackson and I are the same age and when she released this song it helped guide me through my 20s. I've come back to it from time to time when I need that push. My theme song:

Divas!!!

I am showcasing one of my favorite music genres - opera. You asked for divas and HD delivered with Jessye Norman and Kathleen Battle.


I couldn't leave without this performance by the one, the only Leontyne Price.

Wedding Songs

We did not have a wedding song. I didn't want one, to my mother's disappointment. Our first dance as a married couple was to The Stylistics' "You're A Big Girl Now." Truth is I didn't want to do that either. I am not a romantic person. Not at all. I wanted to elope, but my parents would have been hurt if their eldest child deprived them of a wedding.



After the reception hubby and I stopped for a bite to eat. I changed from the dress, but kept the veil on (my friends' idea); in the parking lot of hubby serenaded me with "When I'm With You" by Tony Terry. Hubby is the romantic one. This is one of my favorite songs.
