Happy music...

Even a lot of Moody Blues music starting in the very early 80's sets a generally happy tone. I know most of it makes me very happy! Most of the blatant cerebral aspects of their earlier classic 7 albums was gone, though they continued to write intelligent music that was also generally more "fun" and light. I like it all but which more exactly depends on my mood of the day mostly I suppose.

Zydeco music will put a little kick in your getty up. I like Buckwheat Zydeco and C.J. Chenier. Laissaz bons temps rouler!

Ode to Joy of course!

BRAUSER- i'm with you on the Polka music. Brings me back to dances at a Ukranian Orhodox church in Montreal late '60's.
5/6 piece band, including my Uke friend Lisney on sax (departed), Vodka shots and very pretty Ukranian lasses to whirl around. Puts a smile on this face!

MOFI I'm still enjoying Steely Dan on radio. VSOLLOZZO, thats a goldmine. I don't know Zoom Zoom Bacala-but will check it out. I am sort of hoping guys will post specific albums or CD's with titles. As a record, CD-(well, music) collector it's what I'm used to-especially when you get into Classical and favorite interpretations. For example I'm liking some Carl Maria von Weber tonight on a Cascade Medienproduktions CD #40 of a boxed set "Famous Composers".Elizabeth Ganter on clarinet, Jiri Malat conducting. The Rondo from Concerto #1 for Clarinet & Orchestra . The Polacca from Concerto #2 and the Theme Andante from the Concertino Op. 26. Carefree playing.
