It's been a busy week and promises to be even busier next week as we close our quarter.  Sorry I haven't been around to visit much.  I'll catch up before we take off for vacation.

Vacation?

YAY!!

But that's later.  For now, we have Set 127. 

Happy weekend!


Those Were the Days, credited to Boris Fomin/Gene Raskin, adapted from a Russian folk song called Dorogoi dlinnoyu, as performed by Patti Page


Time Passages, written by Al Stewart/Peter White, as released by Al Stewart in 1978


Photographs and Memories, written by Jim Croce, as released by Jim Croce in 1974


"Good Riddance" (Time of Your Life), written by Billie Joe Armstrong, as released by Green Day in 1997

    Oh, a very good set! I use to love Jim Croce. He died far too young.

    Have a wonderful weekend, Trav!

    Oooh good ones. I remember The Limelighters version of Those Were The Days from the 1960s and Jim Croce has been a favorite for a long time. Talk about lost too soon.

    I like Jim Croce a lot and I wonder why I don't listen to him more. Gonna have to look up some more of his songs on you tube.

    Did someone say 'vacation'?? I hope you're going someplace special, can't wait to hear about it!

    This is a great set of songs, "Time Passages" has always been one of my favorites and you can never go wrong with a Jim Croce song!
