A Dozen for the Desert Island

[john]

Thanks for your desert Island choices Gray, some great songs there. I didn't think you were going to make it, in fact I think most of us have arrived back from the island now.

A very interesting List Gray---I do not think I have ever heard of that Beatles track before.

[ROBERT M.]

It was worth waiting for Gray, some decent picks

[Gray]

Thanks for your kind words!

Bumping this up for the new folks to add their dozen for the desert island.

Any previous posters want to change their dozen?!

[mariana44]

I think I may do.

[john]

Same here as well.

[mariana44]

I think John and I vote for 5 dozen for the Desert Island

[john]

Yes, it becomes increasingly difficult to pick favourite songs Marian, epecially as your music collection grows.

Another great thread has been resurrected. We hadn't been members of the forum for very long when the original was posted and it took us quite some time to find our way around

We will be back with our list as soon as we can. We think the difficulty might be narrowing it down to twelve. Hope it doesn't cause a domestic!!

[mariana44]

That is why me and John wanted 5 dozen--at least !!!

It was Paul's idea to bring these old threads back, as they were such good fun at the time.

[paul jh]

Yes, and we've gotten some great interest from the newer forum folks.

I just didn't think it would put me in mental anguish! I keep thinking "should I replace that album with a new one?", "how can I pull off a double baker's dozen this time?", etc.!

[maureen & harry]

We have joined forces and now put together our choice for the Desert Island Dozen.

1. Maria - Matt Monro
2. Natalie - Shirley Bassey
3. Somethin' Stupid - Frank & Nancy Sinatra
4. Calling - Geri Halliwell
5. Piano Concerto No. 21 - Mozart
6. Come Back To Sorrento - Luciano Pavarotti
7. Please Forgive Me - David Gray
8. All I See Is You - Dusty Springfield
9. Stay - Barry Manilow
10. Once Upon A Time - Jack Jones
11. The Way You Look Tonight - Michael Buble
12. One Life - Ronnie Hilton

Nice selection Maureen and Harry. I also like Ronnie Hilton's "One Life", I have a feeling this was written by none other than the actor Bill Owen.
I am still pondering over my "new" selection.

[maureen & harry]

Thanks John.

This particular selection proved quite hard to put together as like yourself we have such a varied interest in music and we could quite easily have entered another 12 songs each!

The first time we heard the Ronnie Hilton track was thanks to you introducing it to us.

Good luck with your choices!
