Okay, folks, it's been entirely too long since I've done a playlist post. I know, there for a while, those of you who were reading my blog at the time (Hi, GfG!) thought there would be nothing *but* playlist posts, but it's been six.whole.months since the Birthday Playlist post, and it's high time.
Drumroll, please...
I have a *new* playlist! Yes, you've all guessed it by now (because you're all smart people who can read blog post titles): I created a Folk Playlist.
1. Scarborough Fair/Canticle - Simon and Garfunkle: another song that my family has owned in more than one medium. I remember listening to the record (or maybe the 8-track) on my parents stereo in elementary school. It's a classic.
2. Send in the Clowns - Judy Collins: I've got to start taking better notes on where I hear songs. Either this was in an episode of a TV show I watched recently or another song was and when I looked up that song this one came up as a Genius recommendation on iTunes. Either way, I remember hearing this as a child, too, and it has a nice mellow tone to it.
3. Blowin' In the Wind - Peter, Paul and Mary: You guessed it: a record of my parents'. Takes me back.
4. Piano Man - Billy Joel: I'm thinking this was the song that was in the TV episode that then led me to Send in the Clowns, a Without a Trace episode, I'm guessing. Okay, the theme of this playlist is definitely "Songs I Remember Hearing as a Child."
5. Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce: Mm hm. See above
Definitely needs to be fleshed out. Unfortunately, I can't get the Genius Bar in iTunes to work when I want it to, just when some song that I never want anything else of that genre is playing. Suggestions are welcome. Mom, maybe you should just go flip through the records and type me up a list.

Oh, man, you're funny~
Ok, you listen to a lot more music than I do. While I love music, I like to really hear it and enjoy the lyrics. I can't take the 'house noises' AND music at the same time. Hence... not much music around here. We're just not out and about long enough to really enjoy music in the way I like to.
Great lists! Funny stuff in there.
Funny how t.v. shows are leading you to music. You're very observant.
GfG, if we bore *any* resemblance whatsoever, I'd swear we were twins separated at birth (if I swore). First, the sugar cookies, then the playdough, and now the music playing in the house. Would you believe I can't stand music and house noise, either? I only listen to music during my quiet time (an essential component for me), in the car, and occasionally when I'm in the kitchen and not responsible for the little people in the house (because I can't hear what's going on with music on).
I always wanted to be one of those mothers that has praise music playing all the time, but I've finally resigned myself to the fact that I'm not.
Oh, and I don't know how I lived before having internet access while watching TV shows. I'm constantly checking IMDb for what else I've seen someone in or googling song lyrics to find out the title.

I'd say you really meant that comment! ;-)
Even funnier... my favorite time to listen now is when Daddy takes the kids outside/elsewhere/to the back of the house & under threat of life if they leave the area...and I have the kitchen to myself!!
One of my faves right now is "Say What You Mean to Say". My dh thinks it's too repetitive, but I like the melody and the words.
Hey, did you get any shoes? If not, I give you a pass til March!
BTW, I've been meaning to tell you how wonderful your family photo is. Really love it!
Yeah, we had an internet glitch, and it looked like it hadn't posted, but it had. Obviously.
We're sounding more and more like twins by the day. Have you ever met Regina (Boles) Gordon? I guess you would have, since she used to work in the kitchen at the "old home place." Anyway, she's our triplet, then, because she's my other twin. Seriously, people used to start talking to one of us in college thinking it was the other one. Fortunately, we actually knew each other, or it would have been even weirder.
Didn't get the shoes yet. We're on kind of a spending freeze right now, since we don't have all the money for our plane tickets yet. So, it looks like March. I'm thinking of getting some Crocs to wear around the house here in summer. They wouldn't be culturally appropriate out and about, but if they're as comfortable as everyone says they are, they'd be perfect summer house shoes.
