I'm a transgender woman who has loved music for as long as she can remember. My earliest memories are of sitting or laying on the floor and listening to 45's and 78's. Music is and has been the essential part of my life. I started this blog in 2011 in an attempt to create a list of my favorite music. In April of 2015, when I started my transition to becoming Rachel, I created a new blog to continue the effort: http://rachels-vital-music.blogspot.com/

"A Fool Never Learns" by Andy Williams
I was digging through a pile of 45's and found this one I had completely forgotten about when I posted all of my favorite Andy Williams songs a few months ago.

"Green Eyes" by Tommy Dorsey
This one is messy, I'm not sure I remember which version of this song I liked best. I definitely like the first one by Tommy Dorsey (Orchestra?). I also included the original (?) Jimmy Dorsey version and a live TV version with the Ray Anthony Orchestra from 1953.

"Overcome" by Tricky
For years I thought the artist's name was Maxinque and the album title was "Tricky", yes, I had it backwards.

"Angel Street" by Icehouse
A friend of mine (Lou Ann) first played this for me, it's been one of my favorite Icehouse songs since. So many people come in and out of your life over the years. So many that you lose track of and I always wonder where they are are now.

"Wrong Time" by Double
I can't find this on YouTube, I don't know if it is just not there or if the search terms "Double Wrong Time" are just too generic.

"Someone to Lay Down Beside Me" by Linda Ronstadt
I remembered yesterday's song on a Asylum Records 45 and it reminded me of another 45 with the same Asylum label, but I couldn't remember the artist or the title of the song. The Internet came to the rescue and I found a list of Asylum 45's: http://www.globaldogproductions.info/a/asylum-elektra.html
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqCqlN4SNQw
I didn't realize until now that song was written by Karla Bonoff, I like her version as well.

"On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)" by Robert Goulet
I remember having an instrumental version of this song on a record that was part of a box set from Radio Shack. I couldn't find that version on YouTube of course, but this is a great version by Robert Goulet.
