Douglas, I wish they’d read this…the song choices yesterday were horrible, yours are much better! Mike Long said:
Probably the first music related article on this here internet that I’ve been able to agree with. NICE JOB. I especially appreciate the New Day Rising inclusion. I just heard that song in a new light there. I usually just picture my friend Ian screaming that at the bar every time I’ve played it. Thanks. DJ Markie said:
James, I’m playing a party tonight in Denver. A very BIG party. I wish I was able to brag about which one. Some great suggestions here. Thank you. Jan Owen said:
Can anyone tell me about the orchestral music that was played after Barak Obama’s speech at the Democratic Convention tonight (Thursday)? It seemed familiar, but I have no idea what it was. By the way, this was the best political convention I’ve ever experienced. Finally, I have hope for this country after so many years of oppressive leadership. Raj said:
Can anyone tell me the music when Barack Obama came out onto the stage at Mile High Stadium? Paul said:
Who sang the Alicia Keys song “No One?” Thanks! |
