"Lighit Above the Trees" Keiko Matsui. I first heard this piece the night my mother passed away in May 2013. I recieved the call and jumped in the car to go to her home and this tune came on the radio.  It took me to a place of piece and calm.

Anything by Mozart

[tsrcramer]

"Pink Panther" - Henry Mancini. Who can listen to this fun song and not smile.

"Grazin' In The Grass" - Hugh Masekela. Huge hit and great rock/jazz fusion.

"Samba Pa Ti" - Santana. Soothing song with Santana's great guitar work (as usual).

"Wipe Out" - The Safaries. The drum work that everybody was trying to tap out. (Okay, it has two words at the beginning: "Wipe Out".)

[Listening]

"Song for Lola," on guitar by D.L. Dunn on the CD "Driven to Distraction."  It is a sweet, gentle melody that always brings tears to my eyes.

"Whammer Jammer"-for just the pure party fun of it, by the J.Geils Band.
