What Song Makes You Instantly Happy When You Hear It?

[Ferris Bueller]

My wife absolutely loves that long.

More than that new beard you're sporting?

 

[Ferris Bueller]

Lol, I almost posted this one yesterday.

Lol, I almost posted this one yesterday.

I didn't know anyone else knew this song! It makes me think of my wife, and fills me with a peacefulness.

Much love!

Pièce de Résistance

Jesus grabbed virtuoso guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan from the clutches of the adversary before he died at the tender age of 35 in a helicopter crash in '90 in East Troy, Wisconsin. All five occupants of the chopper were killed instantly without suffering upon crashing into a hillside, said coroners. He had been doing an encore show. I saw him play in late September of '86 at the Pfalzbau in Ludwigshafen, Germany (several years before he wrote this gorgeous instrumental song—strongly influenced by Jazz great Wes Montgomery—"Riviera Paradise"). He was already giving glory to Jesus on stage for delivering him from heroin addiction.

All indications are that he was a faithful follower of Christ right up until his death. He said this song was written as a therapeutical aid to foks needing some peace while battling with the flesh. It certainly served that purpose for me. This is a live recording from Austin City Limits. He introduces it with the words:

"This one goes out to everybody who's still sufferin' in any way."

Then we gotta put Jessica on the list. This may well be the epitome of the 'make me glad and happy' song:

Same here.
I first heard it when DJ, Steve Dahl (Disco Destruction), played it on 98 The Loop (WLUP) in Chicago back in '78. I think that was the only time I ever heard it. I just happened to capture it on a cassette recording that first time I heard it and listened to it a few times for a couple of years after that. Then I pretty much forgot about it until YouTube came along and I found it again.

I used to think this was Grand Funk Railroad.

When I turned 12, my local library graduated me to an Adult card from a Child's card. That meant I could check out music and not just books, up to 4 albums at a time. I got Canned Heat, but it didn't do anything for me. I got Tubular Bells which I've loved all along (the Exorcist hadn't come out yet). Judy Collins', Wildflowers. And Lovin' Spoonful. I had no idea what any of these were, just starting to explore music.

Another of my lifelong favorites from Wildflowers,

Much love!

I adore Ella and Louis! This music is very relaxing to the nerves.

Poor old Gary. He really fell on some hard times.

More than that new beard you're sporting?

She hasn't seen it yet.

I did a lot of airline flying in the '60s. I heard this song a lot through those overpriced plastic tubes they called "earphones." - lol
