A World of Music

Another senseless tragedy has occurred and this gave me the idea to put in songs about different cities or places among them San Bernadino. Let us all say a prayer for those involved. It makes my blood boil to think of the party the Devil is having in hell with all of the souls of evil people coming on down. Let us hope and pray the world can find peace at last and that the Devil won’t be hanging a No Vacancy sign on his door. Love and peace to you all for this weekend. “Amarillo” Neil Sedaka “City of New Orleans” Arlo Guthrie “San Bernadino” Christie “The Snows of New York” Chris de Burgh “Give My Love to London” Marianne Faithful “The Mull of Kintyre” Paul McCartney “Last Train to Clarksville” The Monkees “Mendocino” Texas Tornados

Let’s all have a really happy week “If You Wanna Be Happy” Jimmy Soul “Love Can Make You Happy” Mercy “Shiny, Happy People” REM “Happy Days” Theme Song “Sha-la-la (Make Me Happy)” Al Green “I’m Happy Just to Dance With You” The Beatles “The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A.” Donna Fargo
