You have all my favourites listed here. It was nice to hear them again. A few tear jerkers in there to.
Good article and a nice walk down memory lane.

Great selection.
A few years ago my daughter inspired a simple song that I wrote after tucking her into bed…some of your visitors may like it as well, it’s titled Hello Daddy. Here’s a YouTube link.
