My Favorite on the album, “I’ll Bet You” broadcasting on youtube.
This motion picture album from 1984 was a shocking surprise to pull out!
Purple Rain
Prince and the Revolution
Fantastic listen from start the finish. My favorite on side one was “The Beautiful Ones” and then I loved how the last song on side two was Purple Rain. Turned out to be an awesome climax to the album.

Linda Ronstadt
Lush • Life
with Nelson Riddle & his Orchestra
A different sound than the recent albums, made for a nice listen during lunch. I also liked this album cover better than yesterdays. Overall, a very enjoyable and relaxing listen. My favorite tune on the album (aside for the actual lyrics of being turned down) is, “Can’t We Be Friends.” Here is a small mp3 clip of Linda Ronstadt’s “Cant We Be Friends.”

To celebrate Labor Day today, the record collection ejected a FANTASTIC album:
Casa Loma in hi-fi!
Glen Gray
and the Casa Loma Orchestra
This is one of those albums that features a favorite style of music for me… I felt very inclined to dance the night away to this album, I just didn’t have anyone to dance with! Check out the youtube links and we can do a virtual dance.
From the back description, “In dazzling high fidelity… Glen Gray’s Casa Loma Orchestra plays the memorable tunes it made famous.”
