I‘m late to the party but definitely wanted to participate. I started this list years ago because of my irritation with current bro-country music and their lack of playing many of the women on the radio. However, the list has evolved to be multi-genre and currently has over 400 songs. 😁

Bookzombie @Cinfhen This list has you covered, lol. Linda Ronstadt is great! 1y
Bookzombie @BarbaraBB Thank you! 1y
Reggie Holy wow that‘s a lot of songs, Margie! I love that you have Shakira and Selena on here. And Heart‘s All I wanna do is make love to you! Have you ever seen the video to that song? Where the woman picks up that cute hitchhiker in the rain. They have a one night stand and she leaves him early the next morning. Years later she comes back through with a husband and a BABY with the eyes of the guy she left who is now running the same motel. Very drama. 1y
squirrelbrain I ❤️❤️❤️ that Heart track (and the video @Reggie )! 1y
Bookzombie @Reggie Yes! I love that song and absolutely remember the video. I didn‘t realize it was such a long list. I just randomly add to it. I love Selena and Shakira and they probably should have more songs on the list. You know how we all have those deaths that we remember exactly where we heard about it. Selena is one of those for me. I was at a UIL competition in high school and it was the day after my birthday. 1y
Bookzombie @squirrelbrain It‘s so good! 1y
Reggie @squirrelbrain 🎵 all I left him was a note, it said‘I am a flower, you are the sea, we walked in the garden, we planted a tree,‘ don‘t try to find me, please don‘t try to find me, please don‘t you dare, just look in my memory, you‘ll always be there!🎵 Lolol love it! 1y
Reggie Was the competition for band? Also, my mom was a principal at the time and I was in her office with her when my grandma called to tell us the news. 1y
Bookzombie @Reggie No, I didn‘t do band in high school. I hated marching and my huge bass clarinet that I got pushed in to playing. Lol. I really wish I picked percussion in sixth grade but at the time it seemed for the boys. Wow, was she your principle then? No pressure. 🙂 1y
Reggie No, I was in high school at the time and she was an elementary principal. For most of my years at home she was a teacher. Her and my dad were both teachers. He worked the oil fields when I was young but after getting laid off like 4 times he went back and got a teaching degree. In the 90s he was one of the first teachers to have his kids have an e-mail address. He also let them have a camera during recess and at the end of the year he would put 1y
Reggie all the pics to music on a power point on a cd and give it to them at the end of the year. And he would tell the parents how they could see it at the library if they didn‘t have computers at home. He was technology forward. Lol 1y
Bookzombie Aww, that‘s great! I‘m sure they were both great teachers. I‘m assuming they are retired based on previous info. While the world always needs great teachers, I‘m happy they aren‘t having to deal with some of the stuff happening these days. 1y
batsy Wow, amazing. I look forward to checking it out. 1y
Bookzombie @batsy Thank you! 🙂 1y
