My answer right now:   Beatles:  Yesterday Rolling Stones:  Honky Tonk Woman John Prine:  Sam Stone (actually...anything John Prine has ever done.  Seriously) Mavericks:  All You Ever Do Is Bring Me D

That would've been before my time. I've actually heard all of these (not that I've ever watched The Wizard of Oz ... lol). Do you have any preferred covers? My list is not in order and definitely not

Damn vanimal is old before his time (I know I already said that, old people repeat stuff, get over it).

 

Picking songs is hard for me, I can never remember their names.

 

Mayor of Simpleton by XTC is my favorite love song. I learned it on guitar last year as a surprise for my wife.

 

Other than that, I'll have to give it some thought.

BTW, I would say it is an exaggeration to say I learned the whole song, or that I even played it well......

It's the thought that counts. :)

I'm reading a book called The Concerto: A Listener's Guide by Michael Steinberg, and he lists ChiTown in the acknowledgments.

Yeah. Michael Steinberg passed away several years ago ... cancer. He was a brilliant man. I actually haven't read the book, but I remember when he was working on it. We would lend him scores, and other source materials, from the library.

I actually saw him at a concert just a few months before he passed away.

I might be acknowledged in another book ... different author. I can't remember for sure.

The working life of Vanimal, through songs...

New Quarter, new lofty sales goals! Bill Withers - Lovely Day plays in the background as I get a cup of coffee...

Start making business development and sales calls... Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In) 

Start getting objections from clients.... Nina Simone - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Sometimes clients get mad.... Sugarloaf - Don't Call Us, We'll Call You

Afternoon grind with more meetings and calls.... REO Speedwagon - Keep Pushin' On

Call with a long-time client.... Shania Twain - You're Still the One

Closing down a big account and getting the commission check!! Madonna - Material Girl, followed up by Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now!

End of the work day.... Cherub - Doses & Mimosas

Some straight lines simply cannot be ignored.

Nothing wrong with being an old soul! I think I would have really enjoyed the 80's if I was alive in that time period...

I'm sure I lived my first life in the 50's, way too much resonates with me from that decade but I'm only 46.
