SINGERS

November 28th, 1975, I, Kurt George Lewis, was born at 5:17 AM. November 30th, 2005, Kathryn Ann Lewis was born at 11:44 AM. She is my daughter, Katy and thirty years younger than me. Bit of a gap that allows a lot change among some similarities. To commemorate this month, Katy and I are going to see just how similar we are. Let's stay in the music realm for another day. This time Singers (solo act) and three songs for each. Top five singers for me and top five for Katy. KURT'S PICKS 1. Eric Clapton a. Pretending (1989, Album: Journeyman) b. Blue Eyes Blue (1999, Album: Clapton Chronicles) c. My Father's Eyes (1998, Album: Pilgrim) 2. Phil Collins a. Take Me Home (1986, Album: No Jacket Required) b. Groovy Kind Of Love (1988, Album: Buster) c. Against All Odds (1984, Album: Against All Odds) 3. Rod Stewart a. Downtown Train (1989, Album: Storyteller) b. Broken Arrow (1991, Album: Vagabond Heart) c. Rhythm Of My Heart (1991, Album: Vagabond Heart) 4. Meat Loaf a. Two Out Of Three Aint Bad (1977, Album: Bat Out Of Hell) b. I Will Do Anything For Love But I Won't Do That (1992, Album: Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell) c. I Lie For You And That's The Truth (1995, Album: Welcome To Neighborhood) 5. Elton John a. Your Song (1970, Album: Elton John) b. Healing Ha, Alubm: The Fame Monsternds (1989, Album: Sleeping With The Past) c. Rocket Man (1972, Honky Chateau) These performers are one's I grew up with and still love. These are just five. The entire list is much longer and it's better to come back to this theme later instead of having a top fifty to compare. Each song tells of struggle and or finding that answer so needing at that moment. A joy from someone who gets it.

And here we go with most likely post-Y2K.
