"Hard Habit to Break" by Chicago.

OK, girls and boys, back to the 80s: Steve Kipner and John Lewis Parker penned this poignant 1984 soft-rock ballad released by Chicago from their "Chicago 17" album. Bill Champlin and Peter Cetera share lead vocals. This was Chicago's last hit with Cetera before his departure in '85. A man bemoans his partner's departure for another after taking her for granted. It received four Grammy nominations and won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocals. Peaked at #3 both on the Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts. Covered in Spanish by Puerto Rican vocalist Glenn Monroig in '86. Song? Answer: "Hard Habit to Break" by Chicago. I had forgotten about this sad but beautiful tune until I heard it a few nights ago on PBS's "Chicago & Friends: Live at 55". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aCAZNcTVeo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=douQ_PbPUG4

"Surf City" by Jan and Dean.

OK, (two) girls and (one) boys (hint, hint!), back to the 60s: Brian Wilson penned this surf classic in '60 as "Goody Connie Won't You Come Back Home". He "gave" it to Jan Berry and Dean Torrence who altered it and gave it its well-known name. Their '63 recording topped the pop charts for 2 weeks and peaked at #3 on the R&B charts (!). First surf song ever to hit #1 on Billboard. Through Dean's efforts, Huntington Beach, CA has been nicknamed after this song and at least 65 of its businesses incorporate the title in their names. Covered by The Ramones and by The Go-Go's. Answer: "Surf City" by Jan and Dean. As Belinda Carlisle would have it, "Two boys for every girl!"! We had the privilege of seeing Jan & Dean live in '79 opening for McGuinn, Clark & Hillman at the Valley Forge Music Fair - what a thrill it was! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERrwjR4ZlfI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP5pjan45ZA https://w

Carrickfergus.

OK, boys and girls, let's go way back: This Irish folk ballad was written in the  macaronic  form by 18 th  century Ulster poet  Cathal   Bui  Mac  Giolla   Ghunna . Originally titled "Do  Bhi  Bean  Uasal " ("There Was A Noblewoman {Lady}"), the original version was lighthearted, whereas the English translation is nostalgic and melancholic. The title refers to an ancient city NE of Belfast. A favorite of the Irish in Custer's 7 th  Cavalry. Played during John F. Kennedy, Jr's funeral in '99. Classic versions by Van Morrison, Paddy Reilly and Joan Baez. Recently re-popularized by Celtic Woman and Charlotte Church. Answer: "Carrickfergus". What a beautiful tune! I especially like Joan Baez's version. Years ago we were at a pub in Killarney and they had a wonderful troubadour entertaining.  I requested "Carrickfergus" and he sang it so perfectly.  The musical prowess of the Irish never ceases to amaze and delight me.  Some time
