Just Wondering
What was the last piece of music did you listen to?
Is there any CD or LP that you wish you had and cannot find?
If you were stranded on a desert island what eight albums would you want to save?

I use to feel that way about The Muppet's Christmas Carol, but I finally found it on ebay by a seller in Canada. :)
WOW, tough question.

Do you mean the last piece I specifically played or the last piece I happened to hear? I'm going to go with the former.
Windows 10 has some new audio player called "Groove Music." It won't work with my iPod, of course, but I haven't yet loaded iTunes onto my computer so I'm unclear on if and when that'll happen. But, in the meantime, I've been scrolling through my "The Music Collection" files and playing the song I most want to hear at that moment screen by scrolled screen. The most recent in that series was:
"Game of Love" by Santana featuring Michelle Branch.
Is there any CD or LP that you wish you had and cannot find?
My biggest mysteries are instrumental pieces to which I don't know the name or artist, and I don't have any snippet of a recorded version to play for a music search device. I mean, how can you hope to find those?
My best attempt was to poke around the usual suspect composers and hope one of the tracks of theirs you had never heard is the track you're looking for. That's how I found Bert Kaempfert's "That Happy Feeling," for example.
This song was used as the theme to a local kid's show here in NYC, years ago when I was a kid. Since it was a local show, it never ended up on a TV Theme Song disc, so for years, I never knew what it was.
I still have a bunch more like that...
If you were stranded on a desert island what eight albums would you want to save?
Eight! you're being quite generous. Usually it's five.
1. Do box sets count? Heh heh. I guess that's sort of cheating, but if so, "The Look of Love" (3 CDS) is the Burt Bacharach box set everyone should save. I am an unabashed Bacharach fan and this set really is an amazing collection of music, ranging from stuff in the MOR Perry Como range, to Country/Western sounds with Gene Pitney, to RNB of the Stylistics, to all those collaborations with Dionne Warwick.
2. "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd would need to be on that list.
3. Likewise I Robot by The Alan Parsons Project. Do I need to explain why?
4. Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 Greatest Hits Maybe I'm still on a Rio high after the Olympics? Naah. I just love this collection of songs. And especially since I'm going to be on a desert island, it seems ideal.
However, I'd like them stacked the way the LP tracking order went, not the CD listing had it. That means the correct order of songs for this disc are:
Mais Que Nada
So Many Stars
With a Little Help From My Friends
Day Tripper
Look Around
Pretty World
Like A Lover
The Look of Love
Going Out of My Head
The Fool on The Hill
Night and Day
Scarborough Fair
5. Bad by Michael Jackson. I know this is sacrilege to ignore "Thriller" and even "Off The Wall," but I'm sorta feeling songs like "Liberian Girl" and the duet with Siedah Garrett, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You." Fun Fact: Sheryl Crow got a big lift in her music career when she sang that song with Mike on his "Bad" tour as one of his back up vocalists.
6. Company - Original Broadway Cast - 1970 Next to Bacharach, Sondheim might be my favorite composer. I do like the 2006 cast a lot and I would swap the lyrics from "You Can Drive a Person Crazy" out for the newer ones, but I would miss Dean Jones and my darling Elaine Stritch's "The Ladies Who Lunch" if I took the full revival recording. So I won't.
7. Some Girls by The Rolling Stones. Should I have cheated and said Hot Rocks? I don't know maybe. This is what hit me right now.
8. Endless Summer by the Beach Boys... Again, the setting is an influence.
On the other had, if I could just have a power supply to take my iPod, I'd have 40,000 tracks, incorporating all of these and a few more of my favorites!

Well, I did have an excellent Bob Marley record (LP) that I gave to my SIL that I wish I still had, but he does play it when I am down there. I do have the equivalent on CD. Although I like the analogue sound of record players, I do not like getting up every 20 minutes to turn the record over! I do not have a record player at the moment, but might get one again.
Oh golly, gee, gosh, I don't know. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon would have to be in there; probably also The Wall. I'd have to have some old Simon and Garfunkel. I happen to have a Credence Clearwater Revival record, so I might as well save that; also...and Eagles record! I'd have to have some Australian Hard Rock and some Saints (Brisbane punk). Also, I'd have to have some Classical music (own some). Also, some 'world' music (own some). And some jazz eg Miles Davis...Kinda Blue (own that); some folk such as Helen Reddy's I Am Woman, Dylan, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Then there's certain favourites such as Led Zepplin and Kate Bush (own some) and Cyndi Lauper and Sinead O'Connor. Definitely some Doors. And definitely some Rolling Stones. And David Bowie. And, ohh...so many! On a desert island I'd like to have a few musicians I know, too, and their guitars at least. Then they can play me anything! (I can think of one jazz guy for a start).

I think it was Kongos "Come With Me Now" while wrapping up in the pool this morning.
Is there any CD or LP that you wish you had and cannot find?
Not really, I still have most of my vinyl as well as a large collection of iTunes.
If you were stranded on a desert island what eight albums would you want to save?

Disturbed "Immortalized"
Halestorm "Into the Wild Life"
Volbeat "Outlaw Gentlemen and Shady Ladies"
Saint-Seans Symphony #3 ("Organ Symphony") - any version
