Music Meme-- Would you like to play?
When I work down at the shop, I think about music. It gets pretty noisy down there, so we usually don't have the radio on. We can't hear it well anyway. Or, the guy we share a space with has it on a country station, and I'm trying to block it out (sorry country folks-- not my genre).
While I was doing some monotonous stuff today, I thought about music and came up with a sort of meme. Sometimes I really like a bit of monotony because it gives my brain a chance to rest and meander a bit.
So, back to meme. I thought some other folks might like the meme I came up with. It isn't earth shattering; it's just about the music I enjoy. If you'd like to play along, copy and paste the meme to your blog, or even on the comments page, to share your choices. If you put it on your blog, would you mind sharing a link to it in the comments, so I can participate in the fun and read your answers?

What is the silliest song you enjoy? Eddie Koochie-kachie-kamma-toesinarra-toesinocah-samma-kamma-waukee Brown (though I learned it as Annie ... not Eddie) Lew knows a song from his time in scouts that sounds a little like this. I wonder if it is the same one. I like how he sings it =).
Red Army Choir I'm curious how you were able to see the Red Army Choir. Was it after the Soviet gov't crumbled? I looked them up on the wiki-- it sounds like their dance troupe is amazing. Did you see them too?
The Red Army Choir was here (i.e., in the US) as part of "cultural exchanges" during the Cold War. I have an album. They travelled with an amazing dance troupe. Everywhere they went, they brought the house down. As both my parents were from the USSR, it must be something in my genes. :)
There's much to be said for our genes, I think. I long for cool, green lush seasides or craggy areas. My roots are buried in the ancient, moss covered lands of Wales.
Here's my contribution: Ooooh, a Music Thread!.
And mine!
Here's mine.
I also wanted to thank you, Sunni, for playing along. I went to your blog to post a message, but Greymatter wouldn't let me post one =(.
It is hard to pick just a few songs. I enjoyed reading your selections. Lew posted a comment on your list, but he didn't mention how impressed he was you like Dream Theater, too.
Sorry you weren't able to comment, lewlew; a spambot attack led me to turn off comments for a while. They're back on for now, so you're welcome to cruise by and say whatever you like.
