Until this clip, I'd never seen bleacher-creatures in action at a classical music event, but here goes with an infectious performance by Andre Rieu and a few hundred others, doing a little dance number: Shoshtakovich's "Second Waltz."

Andre Rieu - Shostakovich' Second Waltz

I am indebted to Walkstall for his posting of Rieu elsewhere at CPF. This one's stunning....

Great road-trip tune if you're not drivin'...  written by Hoyt Axton

Well, the singer in the tune above sure reminded me of this one....

gosh, that was awful..  .. back then and now.  Though it was originally by Johnny Horton, who failed to follow-up his Battle Of New Orleans hit.

North To Alaska and Sink The Bismark fared a bit better... but a musical niche never developed for pop history-telling till way later. 

My playlist has Godsmack, Staind, Alice In Chains, Clawfinger and Flapjack on it. 90's music ftw.

The Platters...

Great song.  I knew love was 'pretty important' growing-up, but this was the first case I heard the word 'destiny' associated with it.

Interesting that you point out that part of the lyric.

A friend of mine passed away a couple of months ago.  In her last days she turned this song into a personal hymn to God.  The lyrics fit perfectly for our relationship to God!
