A Medley For Wendy

November 2, 2020Memories Medley

Time to spend another week fulfilling medley requests and I’m starting this week off with a request from someone very special.
My daughter Wendy (better known to some of you as Wendyl (a nickname I tagged her with years ago) submitted two requests; one on the mellow side and another a little more rock and roll.
Today, we’re going with the softer tunes. 🙂

    Well Ray, Wendy has good taste but you already knew that I’m sure.
    John Denver is a natural choice but I don’t think of Pat Benatar as mellow. Nice touch.
    Billy Joel tells such interesting stories with his songs.
    Tom Petty is another nice surprise. I love his style.
    Elvis, could he be more relaxed, I don’t think so.
    Who would have thought that Debby Boone after having such a huge hit would basically disappear? Not me.
    Thank you Wendy.

      Thanks, Don.
      Wendy does have good taste and she has the heart of an angel, which is even more important. 🙂
      That Benatar song brought back some nice memories as she and I used to sing it together back when MTV actually played videos.
      Yeah, Debby fell off the Pop map, had a few Country hits, and then completely disappeared.

      Thanks, Don! Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

    Well, this was a nice surprise to have this happen today, great timing! There is so much unrest and anxiety all around…and this was a great reminder to make the time to find your own piece of peace. This will be mine today and I will listen again later and be more mindful throughout my day. Music soothes the soul! Thanks Daddy! YOU light up MY life! XOXOXOXO (and yes, I definitely did the arm motions 🙂 )

      Thanks, Wendyl ❤️
      I knew you would do those arm motions … I did the same thing when I played the medley 😉
      Thanks for the song suggestions. They created a soothing mood.
      “Your own piece of peace” … I love that!
      XOXOXOXO

        Glad to hear you found it soothing as well! I love YOU! XOXOXOXO

    Thanks, Wendyl and Ray. Great medley and it did create a little peace in my soul. You guys do light up my life!!

      Thanks, Pat 🙂
      Wendyl did a very nice job with her selections.
      She lights up my life, too (and so do you)

      Thanks, Pat! Great music can help us if we remember to turn it on. 🙂

    Perfect set for today Ray …. loved John Denver and his style. I agree with Don – I would not have expected Pat Benatar in a mellow set but listening to the words made me realize it was a great choice. Billy Joel was another classic sound – always loved his music and still do. Elvis was a church-going country boy so who could expect less. Add the depth of his voice and it still gives me goose bumps. All of these picks were perfect — it’s easy to see that she and her dad are close and share their love of music. Can’t wait to see her Rock picks – She is definitely her dad’s daughter. Hope you both Rock this Day!

      Thank you, Barbara. 🙂
      Wendy does share my love of music and she passed that appreciation on to my grandchildren, both of them very musically gifted.
      She has always been a wonderful daughter but even better, she is one of my most trusted friends. ❤️
      ROCK THIS DAY!

      1. Wendyl

        Awwwwww, you are the sweetest! We have quite a special connection, indeed. 🙂 <3

    2. Wendyl

      Thanks, Barbara! I know you appreciate good tunes too. My earliest memories include listening to lots of music with my Daddy and sister. Super special moments in my formative years. I am proud to be a Daddy’s Girl 🙂 Hope you Rock your Day too (and stay warm!)

      1. Barbara Brill

        Wendy – your dad is such a special person. We are so fortunate that he is willing to put medleys and history lessons together. He is definitely one of a kind …. and it’s the best kind!

        Take care and stay safe…..

    Have lost count of how many times I have played this today!!!
    Wendy has wonderful taste in music, of course look who she gets it from — Thank you both!!

      Thanks, Penny 🙂
      I sincerely appreciate all the credit Wendy is receiving today. The girl knows her music (and she’s a hell of a lot better singer than her father) 😉

    2. Wendyl

      Thanks, Penny! I’m tuning in again right now. Glad you enjoy my picks! I am so fortunate to have grown up and been raised with my Daddy’s deep love of music. It’s made me who I am today, I’m certain of that! And as far as who is a better singer…well, I’d say we both enjoy belting out random tunes at any given moment. 🙂

      Thanks, Fred 🙂
      Wendy and you have such a nice “relationship” … always supportive of each other (and you both know your music!
      ROCK ON!

    2. Wendyl

      Fred! This was a great connecting-the-songs reply! I love it and am so glad you enjoyed the medley! 🙂
