All by myself - Celine dion

Ok, this may seem a bit irreverent, but what about Queen’s ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ ?

24 years ago when on rheumatology /cancer ward, when a cancer patient died patients used to say "another 1 bites the dust"

Ouch, that’s sad! Really? Maybe their way of coping?

‘I Lived’ by One Republic

‘I’m on Fire’ Dwight Twilley

‘Just a Feeling’ Maroon 5

‘The Remedy’ by Jason Mraz

‘Save Me’ Jeff Campbell

‘Save Me’ Queen

‘Shake it Off’ Taylor Swift

😂😂 Have you been a DJ in a former life?🤣 Some great one’s you’ve mentioned Brook! Pity you couldn’t play them for us too. 😆

in reply toSpotty-ewe

Ha,ha. No DJ. Lot’s of concerts. Was a bouncer in a popular basement club in my youth (me? A bouncer? Yes! And I wasn’t even old enough to attend the club myself. But they wanted ‘sweet young things’ as this was a very nice establishment.) Too long a list, but I couldn’t help myself.

Haha, that is so funny being a bouncer to a club you were under age for.😂 You must have seen and learned a lot in that role - including a long list of appropriate songs for Coronavirus. 😉 You’ve done some very interesting things in your life Brook. All part of life’s rich tapestry! 👍🏻👍🏻 Keep safe. 🤗😘

in reply toSpotty-ewe

All to survive Spotty. 🤣

It was a three story restaurant. A very nice steak, seafood and prime rib place called Cattlemen’s Wharf. A full fun evening out. Starting with valet service, 7 course meal. We all wore different costumes of different sorts. Each area was decorated with a theme. There was a circular slide with a strobe light you could take to get down into the disco (I hate disco music, always have. Maybe working down there is why?)

Even the disco had themes to the areas of it. But it was a lot of fun and I made best friends for life there.

PS, I met my husband there. He worked there so young too. In the restaurant portion, which is where I started, as a hostess, but had a knack with people and an eye for fake id’s (no one got passed me 💪, 🤣). Then ended up a waitress.

But a fun place that now sits empty☹️

Aww, happy memories Brook. 👏🏻 Especially meeting your husband there. 💓💕

in reply toSpotty-ewe

That especially, indeed. He was too handsome in his costume for me to resist his charms 🥰😍

Dame Vera Margaret Lynn CH DBE OStJ (née Welch; born 20 March 1917)[1] is an English singer of traditional popular music, songwriter and actress, whose musical recordings and performances were enormously popular during the Second World War.

She is widely known as "the Forces' Sweetheart" for giving outdoor concerts for the troops in Egypt, India, and Burma during the war as part of Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA). The songs most associated with her are "We'll Meet Again", "The White Cliffs of Dover", "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and "There'll Always Be an England".

What a lady. Glenn Miller was the US male equivalent. Best wishes Kevin

in reply toKevin53

My Dad was a HUGE Glenn Miller (and all Big Bands) fan. I listened to Big Band music growing up.

She has a gorgeous voice.

Thank you Kevin. Stay well. 🙏

Kevin53 for some reason the system won’t let me reply to your Glenn Miller YouTube link, but thank you. That song brings back memories of my childhood home and my wonderful dad!

Yep that is a brilliant one to sing when others are around😂

My new favourite is isolation by joy division lol. I was just listening to my music the other day whilst drawing and laughed when I realised the irony of what I was actually listening to when it came on. I’m isolating as I’m at high risk, songs like these really help as it’s good to laugh about it
