10 Song Meme

[chickenfeet]

So oakenguy wants to know my top ten songs beginning with "T". I've excluded "The" because that would be too easy. So we have

1. Tam Lin (especially the Sandy Denny/Fairport version)
2. Toronto Song from the Arrogant Worms
3. Tom Bowling (trad arr. Britten)
4. Take it Off Petronella (from Ute lemper's berlin cabaret songs album)
5. To those born later (Brecht/Eisler)
6. Talking Postman Blues (Sid Kipper)
7. That's Mathematics (Tom Lehrer)

That's the best I can do. Comment for a letter.

I haven't been online much recently, but when I read that one of Peru's top vineyards, Viña Ocucaje, took two silver medals in the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, I thought of that wine recommendation I owe you and hurried right over.

The prize-winning wines are the cabernet sauvignon from the Colección Rubini 2003 and the Colección Rubini Crianza Malbec 2006. Viña Ocucaje (http://www.ocucaje.com/vinos.htm), Santiago Queirolo (http://www.santiagoqueirolo.com/productlist.asp?cat=60) and Tacama (http://www.tacama.com/english/productos/index.htm) are probably the better choices. I hope this helps. Let me know what you think of whatever Peruvian wine you find and try so I can live vicariously! ;)

I don't have any Britten songs that start with T.

"Tom Bowling" is on the Britten/Pears Folksongs album

I should pick that up. We really liked the folksong concert in Elora in July.

*grin* thanks. Russell Braun was delightful in "The Foggy Foggy Dew", but Pears is pretty special.
