Request songs for the Reunion
Posted Sunday, March 7, 2010 06:40 PM

Everyone,

Our DJ has a format which allows us to request songs we want to hear.

So, If anyone has a request please submit it on this forum and we will make sure it is played on Aug 7th.

What, no requests?  I would think a generous dose of 60's Motown would be a great place to start. It's what we danced to for so many years!

I love anything by The Eagles . . . "Heartbreak Tonight"; "Life in the Fast Lane"; "Witchy Woman"; "Hotel California".

Hi Joanie --

I read your music request and realized that I'm probably off by a year or two with my request for Eagles' songs.  The Eagles became popular in 1970-71, so I guess I wasn't listening to them until I got to college.  Hard for me to remember that far back!. . . Sorry about that . . . but, I still like their stuff.  I was definitely a fan of "Chicago" though and some of the other groups/people you named.  

Looking forward to seeing you at the reunion and listening to whatever music they play. It should be fun.

I would like to request that most of the songs played by the DJ be from the late 1960s – the years we were at Brush!

 

This wasn’t done at the reunion I attended (25th) in 1995, and I think it would have made this reunion more enjoyable.

 

I’d like to 2nd the earlier requests of Marilyn Robinson Box and Joan Noble Bonaminio.

 

The two songs I’d like to specifically request were two songs played a lot at our basketball games during the 1970 Championship year:

 

Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye (Steam)

I Want You Back (Jackson Five)

There should definitely be plenty of Motown tunes...Four Tops, Temps, Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas...we did a lot of dancing to this music in high school.  Thanks Larry

Wasn't a hit then, but "Summer of '69" would be appropriate!

If you need me to bring any of the memories that you've mentioned, I've got most of them on vinyl (albums, ....remember them) about six feet from me.  However, I was so much younger then the rest of you, I'm not sure I remember hearing them on the radio (remember those).  :-)  Can't wait to see you all again.

Great list Joanie.  What about a little Three Dog Night: "Feeling Alright", "Mama Told Me", "One", etc. or C.S&N or C.S.N.& Young (take your pick) along with anything from The Doors.  Gosh, there IS just so much great music from our high school and college days.

Joanie nailed it.  I am pretty sure I got it covered.  This DJ Rocks.  ( excuse the pun)
