Swankyville Random Ten

I decided to do something a little different for this week's random ten. Instead of hitting the shuffle for our entire collection (which is how all my kids' cool tunes, and MizBubs' glam rock and folk music get on my playlists) I decided to limit myself to my "lounge" playlist, about 300 songs ranging from jazz, exotica and swanky vocals of the 40's, 50's and 60's. Here goes:

Rain in Rangoon—Marko Polo Adventures

Get Happy—Frank Sinatra

Why Wait—Perez Prado

Bittersweet Samba—Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass

Song of the Islands—Martin Denny

Tout Doucement—Blossom Dearie

Taki Rari—Yma Sumac

She's A Lady—Tom Jones

Diga Diga Doo—Bob Thompson

Jungle Drums—Esquivel

Friends, let's all drink a toast to each other: raise your glass, or your coffee cup, or your bottle of water or what ever--we've just about made it through another week.
