Day 7 - Song featuring your favorite instrument

Cello has been used quite a bit, so I am going with the Uilleann pipes. They are an Irish instrument in the same family as the bagpipes, but using a bellows and no drone. They have a much sweeter, softer sound, and more haunting, at least to me. Here they are featured on my favorite piece on the Titanic soundtrack, "Never an Absolution."

 
Day 8: A song you loved as a kid
Otto Titsling - Bette Midler
(I was maybe 7 or 8 when I first heard this song) It was so baaad! Wide eyes and naughty bad but giggles and silly too. My mom blushed when it played over the car stereo from her new cassette, I'm grateful she didn't fast forward through it (do you remember the sound of the cassette moving fast forward?)

I can hear them echoing across hills, soothing rather than rousing
 
Day 8: A song you loved as a kid

Everyone in our little town seemed to have a CB. I wanted one so bad or for my dad or mom to get one in their cars.

I had to settle for this. 10-4 good buddy!

(I totally remember this moment on TV, because we left school and ran home to see the Dinah Shore show, which started at 3 o’clock)

Day 8: A song you loved when you were a kid
Wow, wow great prompt!
Life was ever-changing, Vietnam, protests, pot, steroids but also dating, "love" and always music. There were so many great groups and songs that defined things but this is one that even 30 years later live was a thing for me.

Rod Stewart, "Maggie May"
