A nice selection of newer and older songs suitable for cocktail hour. Some standards and a few not yet, but all are appropriate for cocktails or dinner. I like all of these (and the ones in volume 2). They are classics or classic sounding to me. I remember watching the movie Umbrellas Of Cherbourg as a kid and just loving Catherine Deneuve. It always stayed with me and is perfect for this pick. Sorry, but Bjork got in here twice. Once in her pre-Sugarcubes band Gling Glo and once solo much later. I just do love the sound of both tracks and Luktar-Gvendur was the inspiration for making this playlist. BTW, I really like the marbling technique for the cover background. Fun to do!

Cool stuff! Late last week, I was thinking of doing an instrumental smooth jazz/library/light orchestra music set to/in... a cafe on a warm evening during a light rainfall.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I want you to wait until after you see volume 2 or not because I can't wait to hear your pick! Just do it now!
DeleteIt was just a thought at the time. I don't think I planned on going through with it. If I did, I would need a few days to a week or two. But, I'll keep it in mind. :)
DeleteIt just sounds good
DeleteBtw, cocktail hour 2 is coming February 28th...
