Loving Will Downing

Ikaw na!!!

from his versions of I don't wanna lose you, Stop, Look and Listen...and The Nearness of You...just love, love, love his voice. So I finally found another of his song that I like, arggh CityLite, magbalik na kayo sa ere...

remembering zadee's preschool days

I could still remember her excitement during her first day of school...and me still groggy from my 2 am work. She's actually 2 weeks absent since I can't take her to school because of work until I resigned. Thankful, that her teacher understands my scenario.

When we're at school as she entered the classroom, I took a seat along with my co-stage mama moms...asking them infos about what to buy and then the payments I need to settle...then the classroom door opened, a boy is crying, zadee, seated on the front row saw me through the ajar door and started crying as well [hala patay] sympathetic cry ba yan, anak, so crying is contagious din pala [ang bilis ng domino reaction]...I was asked to stay inside their classroom...surrounded by preschool kids for three days in a row until she has finally able to adapt and catched up in the class.

Then, one day, her teacher talked to me about how fast she has improved and the way she excel, then she was asked to represent in the art contest for the Children's Congress and representing her school again for the Bright Child of the Year...and she won the title.. enough of my proud mama mouth

Gerald Albright, my kind of Barry White

Yes! his songs,

and a collaboration with Will Downing with his deep baritone voice that I fell in love with... 
BTW I love the metronome intro on this video 
It's my first time seeing this one. I've listen to this song all the time and it’s always on my playlist 

I just love Will Downing. It is definitely his voice...he sings his own versions and make them classic and timeless...just the way he did with,The Nearness of You and I don't wanna lose you. 
I guess I am mushy this way

Real Love by Paulinho Da Costa

If I would pick something romantic...this would be the one I like

sigh sigh palooza lol

Dreamwalkin' by Eric Tagg and Lee Ritenour

How could I not post this song?
I guess if I could pick one song that I would like to hear in my dreams...
this would be it!
I always sleep with the radio on, back then...it's amazing!!!
that even in the busiest times of my R.E.M, I would hear this song in my sleep
I recall hearing it many times at KLite. The DJ must really like this song.
I am glad he do. Eric Tagg did another version of this...a few tweaks with the lyrics
and it's a little more solemn but I prefer this one.
I was able to purchase a smoothjazz album: Lite Jazz Moments
and I was so excited to play it at home but I got Eric Tagg's version, instead.
Thanks to the Internet, I found the verson that I like.
But I guess, if If I feel sad, I sometimes like to listen to the other version.

another song that I like from Lee Ritenour is Is it You? love them love them :)

Sunlight

One of my favorite SmoothJazz artists that I love to listen to at CityLite is Michael Tomlinson,

I fell in love with his song "Sunlight..." the very first moment I've listen to it. And I wait and I wait and I wait for them to play it on air. I've tried to purchase the album and rummage through record stores...searching for it at the smoothjazz aisle but it was not there and I've been hopeless for such a long time...so I'm done with the blanktape sagas during Highschool...then came the CDs era...hmmm I have my Greenhills buy of smoothjazz selections but it's still different hearing it on the radio. There are also two songs that I really like from him...another one is Highway Rain and also Dawning On The New Day. I could just listen to his songs all day...he just have this soothing voice...[sayang medyo napasarap sya sa pagyodel sa acoustic version na'to]

Who are you by Bill Cantos

I guess I could say I grew up, or probably matured? living by myself (well, I had my lola with me) but practically, I was just alone...

I never had a chance of sharing a room with a sister. So mostly, I am the kind of girl that loves to lock myself in my room...and boom...I guess, the only luxury I can afford by that time is to listen to the radio.

Gone are the days of purchasing blank tapes...waiting for your favorite song to be on the airplay and hit the record button, praying that the DJ won't do ad libs...and you cursed (Grrr...) once he did.

I grew up listening to these stations...especially Monster Radio RX...and I prefer Tom Alvarez to be my favorite Disk Jockey on the station...plus some other favorite radio stations too like K-Lite, where even while fast asleep. I know I heard them play Dreamwalking by Lee Ritenour and Eric Tagg...and yes Crossover. But the one that I miss the most which is no longer on air is CityLite. It's my preferred smoothjazz radio station. It's pretty tranquil without all the brouhahas of advertising, plus they play all the songs that I like since Crossover is more in tune with the Classic types... and this is my little eulogy for the station.

I've been looking for this song by Bill Cantos for such a long time now and I am SO glad that I found it on youtube. I have some other songs that I miss listening to but I couldn't find them online. I guess the disadvantage of CityLite being a tranquil station is that I don't get to learn who the artists were. But I am not going to stop searching. I am going to post some of my favorite jazz songs that I like...praying I have the time
