One of the best love songs ever and one of my favorite songs ever, I'm amazed I haven't thought of it before!

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/

"Love Can Make You Happy " by Mercy
Note: I'm (Rachel) finishing this post over 4 years in the future.
As of February 2014 I was still in the process of figuring out who I was. But I had started loving myself for the first time in the process. When I saw myself in the mirror as a woman, was the first time in my life I loved myself and loved who I saw looking back at me in the mirror.
So love can make you happy! I have found so much happiness since I've become Rachel!!

"This Guy's In Love With You" by Herb Alpert
I remember singing this song in my room in the house on Burch Creek Dr. in Ogden. Crazy how many years ago that was. It had to be around the mid-70's, so about 40 years ago...

"Glendora" by Perry Como
Trying to make a track listing of this old reel-to-reel tape |
I'm writing this post (as Rachel) 6 years in the future. I dug out that cassette a few days ago and I made a track listing for it. I decided to post some of the songs here in my old (before I came out as transgender) blog, to work towards filling it in.
#TransIsBeautiful
As I talked about in yesterday's post I was making a track listing for both an old cassette tape (the date on it was 29-December-1978) and a reel-to-reel tape. This is one of the songs I found on the reel-to-reel tape.

"Dream On Little Dreamer" by Perry Como
I apparently forgot to remove the no-record tab from that cassette |
#TransIsBeautiful
I just realized something weird (or as I always say "It's all MAGIC!"). In the same week I was making a track listing for both this cassette and an old reel-to-reel tape. I there were several songs recorded from the radio on the reel-to-reel tape and many of them were from 1965 and a couple that were older. I'm fairly certain that tape was recorded in 1965. I just noticed that this song came out in 1965.
