Title: Holiday magic music
Post by: mercury on April 09, 2018, 14:34:29 PM: We were listening to Smooth Radio on Saturday night and a song came on sung by Julio Eglesias.. It transported us back in time to our first and the most magical holiday that we had at The Tenerife Princess..The album was 1100 Bel Air Place.. We only had it on Tape and have just sent for it again from Amazon... Simply Red's first album was playing all day around the pool.. I have of course several from my time in Fethiye..but I would have to say Summer Jam and Kiss (of course) were the first we heard on our first Turkish holiday.. Has anyone else got a memorable Holiday song.. ?

I too followed Highlander's post of the version by The Disturbed. I've played it many, many times since then and recommended it to so many people. It's so special to me as it brings back precious memories of my late wife and the times when we used to listen and to dance to the original S & G version. Happy days.

Post by: Highlander on April 10, 2018, 18:36:01 PM: I am sure I've said this before but the first time I came down for breakfast at Letoon, Eva Cassidy was playing on the CD, the lady on the right was behind the bar and I was greeted with this beautiful vista. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Mind you, being there with the lady on the left made things even more perfect.
