Musical Eccentricity, Thy Name Is Kilgore: Check Out these Gems from Our Family's Playlist!
Saturday morning fun on today's Mike's Music Morning.
When my wife and I got married back in 2012, I put together a 3.5 hour playlist, including her Processional and Recessional, and the music for the reception. Over the years, this playlist has grown to 15.5 hours (so far). Let’s have a sneak peek at the Kilgore Family Mix, shall we?
I love it when AC/DC is followed up with Frank Sinatra
Little bit of trivia: Robert Davi (of “Goonies”, “Die Hard”, etc… did a Sinatra cover album.)
[Editor’s Note: I actually got to see Davi perform this album live! One of my old bosses was friends with Davi and got a bunch of tickets for all his employees to attend the show. He was great! - DS]
Sinatra was also featured in the finale of “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.”
[Second Editor’s Note: If you haven’t seen all of DS9 you need to make some time for it. And if you have seen it you need to make some time to watch it again. It is by far the best Trek series IMHO. OK, Mike, carry on… -DS]
Of course, after our son was born, there was some input from him as well…
Couple things from one of our favorite shows. We’re in the midst of a rewatch… This is a cover, I can’t find it on YouTube, but it is available HERE
What to close with? Hmmm…. Ah! The aforementioned Processional and Recessional from our wedding…
Good morning from Western Wishes.
