I’m using the ’52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History’ series as an aid in beginning my personal history this year. See the entire challenge on my Examiner.com article http://exm.nr/jWOpzT along with the #1song from my husband’s birthday. I create an article about this series each Monday.

Here is the beginning of my memories about SONGS.
I’ve never heard of this song, but this was the #1 song I pulled up when I entered my birth date at This Day in Music (http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/birthdayno1).
Blue Tango - Leroy Anderson
I became more interested in music on the radio in my teen years. Before then, we simply listened to my parent’s LPs and some that I had as a child.
My best experience with songs was in 2001 when I produced the CD “No Greater Love” for my husband’s group Turning Point. We had so much fun getting three families together after about 13 years apart and then having them make music together again.. Their harmonies were still tight and the experience was exhilarating .Now, we have a family history “record” of original songs sung by their group from 1974-1987, and others have had the benefit of hearing their music through retail store sales. The group was selected as one of the Top 10 new LDS artists of 2002. Another selection from their CD was also included on the CD “Just Believe”. As I said, it was SO much fun—to learn, to produce and to share.
