My teacher is asking us to do research on you, and so one of the questions is: what is your favorite song, and why?

-- Submitted Anonymously

OSC REPLIES: - June 7, 2005

My absolute favorite song of all possible songs?

Several candidates:

To listen to with nostalgia:

• Michael from Mountains, written by Joni Mitchell, but sung by Judy Collins.
• Come On, Come On, Mary Chapin Carpenter

Message that means something to me:

• Sand and Water, Beth Nielsen Chapman
• Front Porch View, Lonestar

Best performance:

• Desperately, Shirley Eikhard
• Don't Give Up, Peter Gabriel

Greatest pleasure for ME to sing (audience might not be so happy):

• Being Alive, Stephen Sondheim
• Lord's Prayer, Albert Hay Malotte (a cappella)

And after this I'll think of three hundred that I wish I'd listed.
