Wendy’s Birthday Medley!

It’s a special day for me because I’m celebrating the birthday of my oldest daughter, Wendy Plante.

She has long been known as “Beatle Baby” but in reality, she is a fan of many different artists and musical genres. Today’s medley was hand-picked by Wendy and her selections showcase her wide variety of interests. Not surprisingly, every song in today’s medley has the word LOVE in the title.

Maybe it’s because she was due to be born on Valentine’s Day, but no matter the reason, it’s always about love because that’s how she rolls.

      Penny, Glad you enjoyed the medley choices. Funny story about the Elvis tune…when I was very young, the beautiful words and melody of this particular song would bring tears to my eyes. I guess I was born tenderhearted. Thanks for the bday wishes!

    Good morning! Though I chose these love-ly songs, you arranged them so beautifully! My love of music spans the genres and decades. My love for YOU is endless! Thank you for this Birthday Medley as well as teaching me the value of good music and importance of love. So much LOVE! <3 XOXOXOXO <3

      Good morning! Thank you “complimenting” me for the rotation of the songs. I thought the order I played them told a story so it had to end with Love Wins.
      As I said to Jim, you have been an absolute joy your whole life. I have had the honor of watching you grow from a little girl into an incredible woman. You became a wonderful mother and the life skills you taught your kids (and your students!) has been a blessing to watch.
      I Love You
      ❤️XOXOXOXO❤️

I know you understand how much he loves me and I know how much Victoria loves you. Daddies and daughters are a match made in Heaven. Thank you for the love and well-wishes. I am indeed surrounded in love today and every day.

      Fred, thank you for your beautiful words. I appreciate so much the way you have always “spoken” to Wendy. Your gentle ways and your sense of humor bring such joy to both of us.
      I consider myself very lucky to call you my friend. I couldn’t love you more if you were my brother. ❤️

    Ray the feeling of friend means so much to me!! And we could be brothers you have always stayed in contact with me and have done so much for my soul not only in music but through the kind words and helping me with my ailments!! I remember years ago I met a man who was dying and he said to me..Fred if you can count on your hand and say that you have had 5 true friends in your life your a lucky man!! Ray I can honestly say I am a lucky man you are on that hand!!

      God Bless You … my dear friend. I am proud to be on your hand and I want you to know you are on mine! ❤️

    Wendy certainly has great taste in music in large part because of your love of music and influence.
    Because You Loved Me could be a tribute to you!
    And of course the real message: Love Wins
    And thanks for the Elvis great

    1. Ray (Post author)

      Thank you, Mary Helen 🥰
      I like to think my love of music played at least a small role in her musical choices, but I am more proud that she carries within her the same care, respect and compassion for others that I have. In that regard, we are two peas in a pod. ❤️
      Love Wins

    2. Wendyl

      Thanks Mary Helen! He absolutely holds a major influence for both my musical preferences and trying to be a good human. 🙂 Because You Loved Me was the song we danced to at my wedding reception. 🙂 You nailed it! Thanks for the birthday wishes!

    Love, love, love! It is what makes the world go round. Happy birthday Wendy again, and I hope it’s one of the most memorable that you have. The love between you and your dad is so incredible to see displayed and to include all of us, and your thoughts and your wishes and your love! I just am overwhelmed reading all of these wonderful messages previously, but before this gets away from me—-I adore your selections, loved every single song, and they all have meaning for me as well over the years. I can’t think of anything better to replace them. Thank you Ray for putting this all together and for encouraging all of these Dynomite comments to include in your blog, our blog! Spring is right around the corner, and I hope it is filled with love for everyone!

      Sandy, you are amazing! ❤️
      The joy and love you put into your comments never fails to blow me away. You’re right, it is EVERYONE’S blog and you make the most of it. Thank you for mentioning the special (very special) relationship Wendy and I have. I cherish every bit of it.
      And … I cherish you!

    2. Wendyl

      Sandy, I’m so glad you enjoyed the medley today! I can tell you are a woman who is led by love as well. I appreciate your kindness and also your birthday wishes. 🙂

        You caught me Wendy! I’ve got that shirt on with a sleeve that has a heart emblazoned on it. I wear it so much I’ve almost worn the shirt out. But I get a lot of love back and I think that’s what’s important. For everything in this world that we would love to get we need to learn to give. I’m a giver and I know you’re a giver and I’m positive your dad’s like the biggest giver! Happy birthday again my Dear. ❤️

          All I can say is ❤️

    Finally got a couple hours of alone time & listened to these love-ly songs. Great mix of rock, pop & country. Love surely does win!

      Thanks, Pat 🥰
      Wendy has a very diverse list of favorites.
      And she’s nicer than her Dad. 🙂
