The Grading Playlist
February 12th, 2006 by SplineGuy
Did I ever tell anyone how much I love grading? No? There’s a reason why I haven’t. So, I like to know where my students stand but there comes a point that I begin to lose my patience. Recently, the world of downloadable music and playlists on my IPAQ has helped to significantly lengthen that patience. It takes just a little good music in the background to keep my spirits up and my resolve strong. Here’s the list that helped me out tonight:
Rod Stewart - The Way You Look Tonight
Rod Stewart - Forever Young (Album Version)
Rod Stewart - Maggie May [Edit Version]
Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World
Louis Armstrong - When You’re Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You) [1958 Single Version]
Tom Jones - She’s A Lady
Roy Orbison - Crying
Paul Anka - Put Your Head On My Shoulder
Johnny Mathis - Chances Are
Neil Sedaka - Calendar Girl
John Mellencamp - Jack & Diane
The Who - Pinball Wizard [Original Album Version]
Steve Winwood - Roll With It
Kansas - Dust In The Wind
Tom Petty - Free Fallin’
Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain?
Yeah, it’s a little hodge-podge (word of the week) but it got the job done.
Do you realize that you probably heard most of those songs when you were a pre schooler hanging around my house? Great music!
