Here are some of my favorites. Also, a few of them I like simply because they are so different than the original. In a purist sense I generally prefer the original but, good covers are fun. Enjoy!

Shan-time Memory!

So far, sooooo good....I am loving the lists from this theme. And, I am excited to share mine. I do have to confess, I am in the process of aquiring some of these songs- I couldnt believe I didnt have them. I will post my brief explanations in the comments- like everyone else :)

So-lo you cant hear me....

Okay, so I apologize for my delinquency. For starters, I realized I don't really choose to listen to songs with solo's in mind. This week I discovered that I am a lyrical kinda girl....regardless, I pawed through ALL my music searching for any songs that could fit this weeks bill. Ergo, A LOT of jazz. I do like jazz and that music is known for some killer improv/solo work. And yes, there is a repeat. It was intentional folks. I love that two jazz greats can have such a completely different take on the same song. I couldn't decide between the two, so I just posted both! Toward the end, I got a little punchy and wanted to include some fun stuff. I mean, who doesnt like the cheesy solo in the Eurythmics song? And I selected a nice crazy polk song to spice up the day -the Circus Polka by Myron Floren. Who doesnt love a good jam on the accordian? So while some of my music is serious, I hope you all enjoy the little tongue in cheek stuff I seemed to find in my library as well...

Compiling my "self" as a playlist was quite difficult. Anyone who knows me, knows I am fairly obsessed with music. As a singer/songwriter I am equally obsessed with lyrics and the emotion of a song. I interpreted this weeks topic to be a playlist that lyrically described who I am. Since that would be a really long list, I decided to narrow that down by compiling a collection of songs that describes my recent journey to DC and who I am in this present moment. By no means is this list an exclusive look at who I am...

alright...I am feeling pretty cool as I just finished compiling a little "widget." Not all the songs were on grooveshark, and one of the songs isnt the correct version (32 flavors) but, this will do.
