Many years ago I was a radio disk jockey, playing a mixture of easy, country and rock. I programmed my own music within that framework. I would like to program a few selections for you today. It is my hope that you might enjoy them and do a bit of research into the artists and perhaps even investigate other works by them.

First, an American composer who spent most of his life outside the U.S.:

Gottschalk, A Night in the Tropics

A classical selection:

J.S. Bach, Sheep May Safely Graze

A movie soundtrack which adults will recognize:

Michel Legrand, Summer of ’42

Another soundtrack, listen carefully to the melodies:

Percy Faith, Theme From “A Summer Place”

FInally, a beautiful vocal which has become quite famous:

Iz, Somewhere Over The Rainbow
