Day 20: God Bless the USA / Lee Greenwood

Randy Sloan April 18, 2020

The maturing effect of life experiences has changed the way I view this song. I planned to explain my choice here, but as I spent all day yesterday thinking and writing about it, I realized that it is going to take a lot longer than I expected. It’s Complicated.

Day 18: Try to Remember / Barry McGuire

Randy Sloan April 16, 2020

I got lucky... it was a good year in music giving me lots of options, but I chose off the beaten path with a very personal, sparse, even haunting cover.

Day 16: Capriccio Italien / Tchaikovsky

Randy Sloan April 14, 2020

The prompt is not specific as "classical" favorites but so many other days catch classic rock, classic soul, etc. I fell in love with this piece -- and Tchaikovsky in general -- while learning it for the New Mexico High School All-State Orchestra in 1983 or 84.
