I'll add my 2 cents. I have such a hard time picking just one 90s song.

Oh the glorious musical decade of the 1890s

The 1890s were after all an amazing time period in music. With hard hitting tracks like Daisy Bell, Bicycle Built for Two, and Lonley Bess Howard, how could a person choose just one.

Here is a true 90s medley.for the discerning listener.


@kevgib67 I think you're the only one that realized this was a joke 😆

Good afternoon John! Well we have been together 40 years so I guess it was one heck of a Kiss. 😉

Good morning my friend

I think it was your neon fanny pack and pink turtle neck sweater that attracted her and your humor and personality that made her stay.

I thought about doing the exact same thing along with trying to dig up some 1790s but decided it was too much work. Hard to say it was a joke though. The genre was 90s music, seems to me the 1890s, 1790s, 1690s etc. apply to that just as well as the 1990s. Loved it but have a pretty decent sinus headache going so semi cranky.

Update for you guys on my BRS order drama. I contacted BRS and they are going to ship me replacement and upgrade it to UPS shipping instead of USPS for free for me. He said if I ever get the first order to just keep it and not worry about sending it back to them.
That's great customer service!

Please refer to my latest musical addition sir. You'll find the 1790s perfectly represented with now sweat from your brow!
