I love my headset. I can always listen to my favorite music and sometimes watch films on YouTube.
Tonight is one of those that I treasure, listening to the music of Rod McKuen and Henry Mancini. I was reading some early posts about Rod McKuen then thought of listening to his husky voice while he recites some poems and sings his songs. He is not probably popular with kids and the millennial nowadays. I agree, there is only one Rod McKuen. He shared his music to the world and his poems. I always get inspired reading his words and listening to his music.
I remember Mary Anne, a friend I met back in our Multiply days. She died about two years ago, a previous blogger here at WordPress too. She sent me two CDs of Henry Mancini one birthday years ago. She knew I love Mancini’s music and she loved it too. Wherever you are Mary Anne, let us listen to your favorite.
My love of Mancini started when I watched the movie adaptation of The Thorn Birds (a book by Colleen McCullough) The theme song was just heavenly so I looked for more of his compositions and there are several in YouTube. I am presently listening to The Very Best of Henry Mancini while writing this. Think of The Pink Panther, Moon River, Days of Wine and Roses, How Soon, Two for the Road. I could go on and on. They are wonderful music of days gone by.
My night is filled with music.
Happy to hear that you are enjoying your music, Arlene. One of the amazing things about You Tube is the sheer amount of stuff you can find on it. I don’t think I have ever failed to find a song, no matter how obscure.
Best wishes, Pete.

I first became familiar with Mancini while playing pinochle with my husband and his parents. They would pop popcorn, make iced tea and put on records – one of which was my favorite – Mr Lucky Goes Latin. When I listen to the music it brings back good memories.

It is wonderful the way we can remember old friends when we hear their music. Sometimes I find the old songs from the 1930’s that my grandfather used to play and remember him sharing them with us.
