What happened to the Songs from your Era thread?

I have one of those Best Beer Drinking CD's (even though I only drink tea these days..) but the music is fantastic. This one was a favourite of Dad's and it's his anniversary on Wednesday so posting it for him.

Duncan by Slim Dusty..we have a family member named Patrick so Dad loved to sing it to him over a beer:

I'm off to bed as it's past my bedtime....enjoy the rest of your week everyone...

Great song indeed RWB, The Dance...I reckon we could all agree with the lyrics:

"Our lives are better left to chance, I could have missed the pain..but I'd have had to miss the dance".

I lost my best mate 2 weeks ago, the handsome boy in my avatar, and the above words resonate. Not lying when I say I loved him more than anything/anyone I ever have...well except for Mum.

What a dog. RIP Hank.

FMD Jack..and you know I never swear even in acronyms unless I am very sad or wound up.....I logged back in for some reason...and now I know why....I'd come back to post this song from someone you went to see in concert..glad I didn't go to bed before telling you how very sorry I am to read this..

This one is for you and Hank.... and it was you who introduced me to that Garth Brooks song..so thank you for that..I never got my wedding dance either..he passed last year and would have been 58 yesterday..now I really am going to sleep now..take care everyone..xxx

Enjoy the scotches Jack as you are entitled to relax and reflect as I know you had Hank for a very very long time.. (I think I ate enough potato chips and gluten free milk arrowroot biscuits for you, me and Hank on the weekend, you know how I get when we play the Storm.plus I needed my own comforting...double comfort food weekend..Nigella calls it carb on carb action in one of her recent Instagram posts..who am I to argue with such an accomplished professional lady)

Is Don is good...I remember posting on here that he, George Michael and Elton all possess very poignant voices..they are my 3 favourites for ballads...

Here he is with Patti Smyth.."Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough"

Love the lyrics "There's a danger in loving somebody too much"

I remember buying it on iTunes when I got sick as it kept playing in every doctor's surgery and clinic I was attending. They all must have it set to 'easy listening not to upset the patients' and rightly so. It hasn't played on my shuffle since..that was 29 May 2017..wonder why it won't come up on the random selection..probably buried deep under all the Madonna and David Bowie remixes of remixes...

Keep posting here Jack as this thread needs variety for all genres, tastes and tunes as you and your family are all actual musicians and can play instruments and everything..(my sister has the piano down in Melbourne, goodness knows where my other sister's tennis racket AKA my air guitar ended up..so I'm back to singing into the hairbrush)

Thanks for sharing the news about Hank with us all. ..most of us on here can relate..

Poor Olivia copped a bit of flack in the early 70s with her cross over pop / country, a few of the the country artists dissed her when she won the Grammy for Best Female Country Performance in 1974 for Let Me Be There but a lot of artists came out in support of her to including Dolly and Stella Parton.

That whole era of Olivia's was mine and Mum's favourites. I still consider her to be country..sorry if this has been posted previously...enjoy!

Sorry to hear about Hank Jack, they become part of the family and give unconditional love, always sad when they pass on

Sorry to hear Jack. My furbaby is a huge part of our family and I don't want to think about life without him.
