Wake Up With A Smile

These medleys serve as a musical snapshot of the times so many of us lived in. They are a way to bring listeners briefly back to the days when music was really music and hopefully give your day a little boost.

Here is today’s 23-minute reminder of those days. As always, I hope the music puts a smile on your face. 🙂

Memories … That’s What We’re All About

      Fred, I truly admire the fact that you continue to create your stories even as you face a big day on Friday! You have such a zest for life. ❤️
      I don’t think Neil ever forgot!

    Memories, that is what we are all about! This medley sure did put a smile on my face, that continued for the entire medley. I appreciated every song I sang along with most of them, and I remember them all. I guess that’s a good thing! I want you to know how very much I appreciate the time and energy that goes into putting these things together for us. I feel like you are my own personal DJ and I am so grateful. Words could never express how this music touches me each day. From the wonderful intro voice of yours to the blog comments and replies, I am left speechless sometimes. I truly enjoy reading all the blog comments, especially Fred’s!! My dearest wish, is that we all have tomorrow! Ray, you’re the best! 🥰
