Thank you, Choralist! Here is my original request:

I'm designing a program which will include classical as well as sacred,
folk, pops, and Broadway -- on the theme of "Earth, Sea and Sky."
I'll string a lot of popular songs like "Blue Skies" together in a medley,
so I'd like to hear your frivolous as well as serious ideas.
This won't happen for a while, so keep me in mind! And thanks.
