Etherial, stylish and beautiful: Spyro Gyra

(TRY it!)

[parrotcruiser]

Have a quick suggestion for music junkies like myself. When on any vacation I take my portable DVD along. You can buy speakers to increase volume if not loud enough through player. Anyway, burn CD's to music files on your computer and then transfer them to a CD as data files, not as music files. Newer DVD players will play them no worries. The advantage is you can put around 125 songs on one CD, bring 2 and you have enough music for any mood.

[fuzzywuzzy]

Jimmy Buffet all the way !!! Love his music and it transports me back to the tropics every time.

Hi,

 

Some really good stuff Steve and Julie.

Did anyone mention The Police? Can't do a cruise without message in a bottle! Actually any Police or Sting solo would work well.

A:D

Not really cruise music but put yourself in the lyrics with just trying to get away from life

Do you guys bring an IPOD or CD player - or does the ship supply cd players?

First time going on a cruise - and don't know what to expect.

 

Judy

[steveandjulie]

We bring a small CD player and a small set of speakers. We don't have an IPOD, but I imagine that would work just as well, if not better (no changing CD's etc).

 

Steve

[OPSoccermom]

Julie - love your lists. Am adding them to my MP3 for our cruise on the MOS this week!!:)

 

How about anything by the Venga Boyz??? We first heard them on the Norwegian Sky and now they always remind me of bon voyage parties.

[LB16063]

Everybody Have Fun Tonight-Wang Chung

[Raze]

For instance, I've been trying to figure out the name of the song with the lyrics

"cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, dollar".

 

Anyone know the title?

[Thomas M. Bottom]

I take lots of Pat Metheny (jazz)cd's, & I burn copies of my originals so if they become lost, broken etc. it's no big loss. Relaxing in my lounge chair, closing my eyes, I can smell the tanning oils already!

 

Was in port @ St. Lucia 2 years ago, stopped by the St. Lucia Jazz festival booth (just off pier) & found Pat's drummer Richard Bona was scheduled to be playing there in a couple of weeks w/his band. Had a wonderful chat w/the 2 lovely girls working the counter. They had never heard of Metheny. Upon my return to the ship stopped back in & they were still working so I gave them 2 burned copies of his CDs.

 

 

Make the world a better place...share some music!
