Name that tune!

Ever had a song that you have not heard for a long time and you sit back and wonder "Why the hell haven't I been listening to that all the time?"


I'm constantly doing that with my outrageously scattered music selection...


Example: this morning for some reason I had "Wanted, Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi in my head (please don't ask me why... though now I am going to have to add "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man" to my wishlist!). So I thought I will add it to my current playlist on my "non-iPod MP3 player". I sit down at the computer, plug in my player to shuffle stuff around and I discover, to my dismay, not only is it not on my MP3 player, but it's not even on my computer!


Egads... thus began a furious search amongst piles of cd's (among other things) for Bon Jovi. Finally I found it. I did not, howver, have the internet connected, so had to listen to all the songs on the disc to discover which track it was. That lead to Kristine yelling down at me from the bathroom "We're leaving in five minutes... what are you doing down there?".


So, needless to say, "Wanted..." is now part of my playlist, as well as a couple of other, non-Bon Jovi gems, including the theme from "Greatest American Hero", "Detroit, Rock City (live)", and "Jack and Diane".


Ah the joy of a portable music device and a diverse selection!

Truly, mp3s are such a great invention.
