When Baiden Farrell decided he was going to propose to Joanna Ammons on Valentine's Day, he wanted a ROMANTIC CD to play in a romantic setting. I volunteered one with the following tunes:
1. For You....................................Kenny Lattimore
2. After All...................................Al Jarreau
3. I Believe in You and Me...............The Four Tops
4. With You..................................The Moments
5. The Way You Look Tonight............Rod Stewart
6. Look What You've Done to Me........Boz Scaggs
7. Back At One...............................Brian McKnight
8. You Are My Lady........................Freddie Jackson
9. Love's Holiday............................Earth, Wind, and Fire
10. Fly Me to the Moon......................Frank Sinatra
11. For Your Love/You Send Me...........The Temptations
12. At Last......................................The Temptations
13. You Are My Love........................Freddie Jackson
14. Because It's Really Love................Luther Vandross
15. Lost Without You........................Robin Thicke
16. I'm Glad There is You...................The Temptations
17. Nothing Better Than Love...............Luther Vandross
18. You and I (We Can Conquer the World)...Stevie Wonder
19. After All....................................Al Jarreau
Yes, I know, it is very "gooey", as one of my friends would say.
I have inserted a link for the first song ("For You"), because Baiden was supposed to use it as the "proposal" song. The rest of the songs should follow in some order, and that way you may skip all of the rest of my stuff, as you please.
At the time I put this CD together it never occurred to me that most -- if not all -- of these artists are Grammy winners (and most of them are multiple Grammy winners). Did I do Joanna and Baiden "good" or what????
I'm told Baiden loved the CD and it has been reported to me that he is still playing it. I haven't talked to Baiden in some days -- not since the wonderful article he wrote for me -- so I do not know, but I get the report on good authority.
Today (Sunday), Joanna and Baiden exchange vows in holy matrimony. They have more courage than I,
(I keep running from the altar) for THAT would scare the living daylights out of me, but my hat is OFF to them, and so I have spent some time, out of my sick bed, putting these songs from the CD, as well as a few others, onto the Gather site for their Gather friends. I do hope you enjoy them as our way of partaking in their real life event.
Congratulations Baiden and Joanna! We love you, and we hope you many happy years of wedded bliss!
Additionally:
John Lennon, and David Bowie, David Bowie, more Stevie Wonder, Chic, Lamont Dozier, Tramaine, and more
My personal favorites are:
"Te quiero, Papi" (Chic) -- heh, heh, heh, and Robin Thicke; I'm sure you'll have YOUR own!
Please feel free to express any messages you may have for Joanna and Baiden.
I wonder how the partying/reception is going over in Illinois for those two. My best wishes and blessings to them both!

Congrats to you crazy kids, Baiden and Joanna.
One small piece of advice to the lovely couple...
Love
does not consist
of gazing
at each other,
but in looking
outward,
together,
in the same
direction.
And another piece of advice for Baiden: Just remember, she is always right. Always. (grins)
Congratulations to the Happy twosome. hope you last many years
"Maseltov!"
Thank You Neet for writing all this.
Yes we do love the CD you made us. I made a copy of it just to keep safe in a new wedding book we got, that Jo and I need to take time to put together.
I am real glad you put the songs up on here to, cause when I am away on my bus. trip.
I can go on here and play it and look at stuff.
Neet you are a real special person and Denzel is one real lucky man.
Alot of people emailed me from the beginning and ask me why I went after Joanna on here when she lived so close to me.
I know it would have made sense to just talk to her and I ended up putting in my fears and doing that anyway.
If I had to do it again. I would. I have been taught a good lesson about knowing who your real friends are. And I met and learned alot from some real good people on here.
I appreciate knowing all of you and will take into my heart all t he nice things you guys wish for us.
I like the songs you got some good taste.
Baiden, Its nice you got alot of people wishing you well.
With all this you know its gonna last.
I want to wish you well. I wish I could have stayed in town longer to have done something nice for you.
Mom always taught us to be brothers first. Sometimes I forget.
Years have gone by so fast. I remember you being a little squirt trying to knock the softball off the T. Now you grown up and got married. time flies so fast.
My advice. Take each day real slow and make each moment special.
Remember that love like this only comes once in a lifetime.
This was very nice of you to do. You look like you spent alot of time and care on making these wonderful songs for my son and daughter in law.
I had not idea that Baiden George knew so many people.
I will have to show this to the ladies in my sewing club.
We had a very small wedding for just family, mainly for Baiden's granparents who were in town staying with us for a few weeks. Baidens grandparents will have been married 60 years this March 3rd.
Joanna chose to wear the wedding ring passed down by Nana Farrell. We consider it to be a good luck ring. All the women who have worn it have been married a lifetime.
My husband Scotty and I are very proud of Baiden and Joanna.
We wish them a lifetime of love and happiness.
I have a very good son. He is a wonderful man.
I hope you are enjoying the few days we have left off.
Hey, this was some of the music you played at the reception right ?
Ok now I get it.
What can I say to the brother who has everything.
You got everything.
What more could you want.
You got it all and then some.
People keep saying that they hope it lasts.
I know it will last.
All I can say is make a spare bedroom for your two bros.
because when we are old and are playboy days are done.
You and Jo will be head of the family and we are coming to live with you.
Now you know I will do dishes to earn my keep.
Ian can shovel.
Yeah he is good at shoveling stuff.
I HATE it when people delete comments but I get a notification that I've received a comment and I am left wondering where it is and what it said. Anyway, you know I meant that your mother's talents, as described by you. were amazing. 9 rooms!
