Today is a lovely Autumn Saturday in Canberra Australia. It's currently 30°C/86F in a cloudless sky. Sunny days always keep me cheery.

The last few weeks or so I've been slowly going through our CDs and DVDs and donating/gifting any I'm not keen on. Some of my own are no longer my cup of tea, so out they go as well... I've been very pleased to find a few more CDs which DDH (dear departed husband) is playing on that I didn't realise he had. We didn't really have the same taste in music. He was mostly a blues man and I like just about anything else but. 😁 He was in various bands over the years and some of them put out a CD or 2. It's so nice to listen to these CDs knowing it's him playing the double bass... 😊😊😊 I'm keeping all of those ones , even though some of the music isn't really my taste.
Sadly most of his DVDs aren't my cup of tea either.
There are several homemade CDs of band practices from over the years too. I'm hoping to find something amongst all this with his speaking voice on it, (he wasn't a singer). That would be really nice too...

Anyway, back to it... 😊

Tomorrow would have been his birthday, so I'm keeping myself busy...

I lost my dear husband 15 months ago and he use to sing at local rest homes here in Christchurch and he made several cds as well. And it is so nice to be able to still hear his lovely voice.

What a bittersweet task you have set yourself chooksnpinkroses. I can’t bear to do that task yet I’m afraid. 🐢

I hope you find a CD with your husband's voice on it. Hugs 🤗

A difficult task you have taken on. My husband and i had different tastes in music but somehow we managed to share it all. I was not a lover of blues either until i went to a Diana Krall concert and i really like her style of blues.
Silly how we hang onto things that hold sentimental attachment. My husband who passed 13 years ago loved hats and he had his favourites. I have moved 4 times since his passing and i still cant give away his hats. Thankfully my daughter took half of them when i moved recently and she has them displayed on top of her bookcase. The remaining 4 are hanging in my closet. Someday i will donate them but not yet.

DH says if I can't sing along to it I don't like it ! Some things he listens to sound like each person is playing in a different key !

Now that is a labor of love! We have mostly the same music interests. We were both in band through the years, so have had additional exposure to different types. Except he does not care for my Native American music. That is all right, though.

To be able to hear your husband’s voice would be quite something.

I have many memories of my parents plus all my photos but nothing with their voices. Voices can evoke so many emotions.

I haven't been able to get rid of a single cd or dvd. There are over 700 DVDs and over 1500 CDs. I won't go into the over 4800 45s. Each and every one holds a special memory and I do play them. I still have 2 turntables from my dj days, GS even has one of his own. We play the DVDs when the satellite goes out (4-15 times a week).

I'm doing the same thing. DH left me with hundreds of CDs many of which he complied from other sources. I've been playing bits of each one to decide which I'll keep and which I'll give away.

I feel the same. I like to sing along also and don't care for music which doesn't lend itself to me singing along. 😁

After my husband passed away, I didn't keep any CD's or DVD's and my daughter gave them to one of her friends, so I was glad they went to a good home as there were dozens of them.
I have all the music I need in a folder on my computer and often play 'my kinda music' when I'm typing or doing jigsaw puzzles.
I love most music but cannot tolerate the so-called music of today or jazz.

We have a wide assortment of music, from opera, show tunes, and orchestral pieces to classic rock, oldies, country, and jazz. For whatever I'm in the mood for. HHMMM... I think I will listen to In The Mood, Glen Miller gets my brain tapping.
