If you'd like to listen to these songs, check out the "Father/Daughter" playlist on the Listen to the Music page.
This is a very original idea for a blog, way to be creative. Since your blog is all about music, maybe you should include links to music or youtube videos of the songs you are suggesting. I read somewhere that having more links helps with being found by various search engines....
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, that's a great idea! I have a page with playlists, but I didn't even think of linking the songs to youtube videos - great idea! And congratulations on being the first person to comment on this blog. :) You are appreciated!
ReplyDeleteMy father and I are dancing to "In My Life." =)
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
Thanks CarlyAnne! I love that song. Both my dogs are named after Beatles songs because I love them so much. (The Beatles, I mean... and also my dogs.)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! I am sure I will be directing my clients here! I love how many suggestions you give in each post.
ReplyDeleteThank you that would be amazing!! Actually the inspiration for the blog was that there are so few sites out there with comprehensive, yet easy to navigate lists of music for weddings! So that's the goal. :)
ReplyDeletethis is a great collection! i don't know that we'll have a father/daughter dance...but i LOVE your picks in case we do!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lizzie! Glad you like them. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! What a great idea and perfectly on time. I will definitely reference this when it comes time to put our "soundtrack" together! =)
