I was hoping you all would be able to give me some suggestions for a good song to use with my latest video for my family. This is a sample of pictures of Thanksgiving at the farm that I plan to use in a video I'm making. Last year I made a similar video for them of Thanksgiving at the farm using John Denver's song, Thank God I'm A Country Boy. It's hard to beat that one.

We had a bonfire, made S'mores, I gave a gazillion rides in the Citabria and Tom gave a few rides in the Skyhawk, we had some four-wheeling and bikin' going on as well. We had the turkey feast in the hangar.

Any suggestions for a lively, upbeat song? I don't have much in the way of country music in my music library, so I'm open to your ideas.

Thanks!

bonfires and stackin' hay/straw....<sigh> great pictures Diana, they brought back many good memories of my days on the horse farm.

I wish I could find the picture that my co-workers took of me doing paperwork on a picnic table outside the blacksmiths shop under the light of a full moon........good stuff, good memories.
 
OK, I did a little googling...

Louis Armstrong ~ "Wonderful World"

Steven Curtis Chapman ~ "More To This Life"

Bob Carlisle ~ "Butterfly Kisses"

Kool & The Gang ~ "Celebration"

Shania Twain ~ "Still the One"
 
Take Me Home Country Roads?

OK I'm bad at country songs... :dunno:
 
Stevie Ray Vaughan, "The House is a Rockin'"

How about Learning to Fly by Tom Petty?

What a great song. Actually, I used it on a video I made for my family doctor (Tom is giving him flight instruction). I took him for his first aerobatic ride. Tom shot a video of his flight and I made a little movie for him using that song.

I'd never heard of this group before. Love that song. :)

They are big into the folk scene. I love their music, it is such a blend of old time, country, bluegrass, and modern stuff. It is a great song too. You may also like the Wailin' Jennies but I don't know of a song that would fit you video form them.

Diana, if you haven't selected a song: "It's A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.

Scott, thanks for the suggestion. What a great song. :yes:

A friend suggested one that I've decided to use. "Standin' On The Rock" by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. :)

Thanks again everyone!
