I’m having a cafe-esque event occuring at my home soon, and I just wanted some input on the perfect smooth sounding songs and artist like…
Norah Jones
La Vie En Rose
…etc
Something with a comfy sound maybe a tad bit of Nat King Cole or something of that genre. French, 20’s, 60’s, 40’s anything that will give the "feel good" aura. Thanks for your time.

If I were to listen to an AM radio station that plays the popular easy listening music, what version of "If I Were A Carpenter" would they play?
Who sings the version of "If I Were A Carpenter", that they play on the AM radio station?
Who did the most popular version of "If I Were A Carpenter"?
The Joel Whitman information on google isn’t really free.
The Joel Whitman book tells you which songs had the international hits.
Please help.

i personally enjoy the music of chopin, beethoven, tchaikovsky, rachmaninov, brahms, grieg, and schubert,but few others of that time, for instance i have not enjoyed the music of johann strauss or stravinsky very much, and someone told me many consider stravinsky to be the "bach" of the romantic era. so i am wondering how people who are afficionados of the era judge romantic era music, and what they think makes certain music of the time good or bad.

The songs I am referring to are Patriotic, Christmas, any Holiday, Camp/fireside/folk songs, your place of worship? I was curious because, to make a long story short, we had a lot of company over for the holiday last weekend. There were several teens and young adults (20ish) over too. Everyone got into a conversation about those type of songs and the young ones said they hardly knew any Patriotic, only a few Christmas and no camp songs. Some of the parents/grandparents started naming songs and most of the youngsters said that they had never heard of "that" song or only sang the beginning of "this" song but didn’t know the rest. Why do you think we knew these songs when we were their age and they don’t know them today? Maybe because music is not in schools much anymore? Parents or Grandparents didn’t teach them many as they were growing up? Do you believe they will learn these type of songs as they age due to experience? Time will tell maybe? Maybe not expanding their minds to learn beyond……? I know between school, parents and after school activities is how I learned them and just KNOWING these songs were important and would follow me throughout life. lol….I’m sorry, maybe I answered my own question, but what other reasons might it be? What could you all add to this?
**This is nothing against the youngsters, in fact I wish there was more available to them so they could be exposed to it.

im making a mix cd for my girlfriend(shes a huge music fan)ive got every song planned out except the first one…i was thinking this song by the pogues…based on the lyrics what would you think? for a first track(the most important one, really)
Near to Banbridge Town, in the County Down
One morning last July
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
For to see I was really there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I’ve seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down
As she onward sped sure I scratched my head
And I looked with a feeling rare
And I says, says I, to a passer-by
"Who’s the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
He smiled at me, and he says says he
"That’s the gem of Ireland’s crown
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann,
She’s the Star of the County Down."
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I’ve seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down
At the harvest fair she’ll be surely there
And I’ll dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
For a smile from my nut-brown rose
No pipe I’ll smoke, no horse I’ll yoke
Till my plough turns a rust coloured brown
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the Star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I’ve seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down
