I agree with you 100% about the lyrics. Maybe I don't know the right kind of people, but when I have played something for them like Anthem, they get distracted and want to move on. If I play one of the others in the list, the melody and voice catch their attention and then they will start to pay att...

[quote="MaryB"]My choices have to be those that have resonated and hooked them. It also depended on who the listener was. Knowing a little about the type of music they liked made a difference. Everybody Knows Dance Me To the End Of Love The Future Take This Waltz I'm Your Man Closing Time ...

[quote="mnkyface"]I think you're going to get widely different answers/lists here! Let us know if you convert any friends. I've thought about this too...no one has actually asked me for any LC music though. Heh, who said that they asked me for it? :) I am afraid I will have to just apply i...

Of course, it always changes, but I would say Marianne is always all right with me. I have loved and loved this song although it is always in head to head competition with Bird On a Wire.
If I am going to that desert island, I am taking one LC CD with me, certainly.

I am terribly sorry for the people who came from somewhere far for the concert and cannot stay till Thursday. I am in Denver and it has been raining terribly (plus lightning and thunder). As romantic as it may be - it would be uncomfortable and perhaps unsafe for an outdoor venue. I hope Leonard is ...
