So I have a lovely online friend who is all hip to the cool new stuff–you know, like Spotify. That’s my way of saying she knows what’s out there and I’m an old geezer. She asked if I had it. I said, “Um… probably not?” That would be because I had no clue what she was talking about! I’ll admit. I thought she meant some SEO plugin for WordPress or something.
So she tells me about this place where you can make awesome playlists and all kinds of cool beans stuff. I looked at dozens of options for JUST ONE SONG! They have some of my favorite artists–people that even my folks parents’ age dodn’t always remember! People like Jo Stafford, The Four Lads, Les Paul and Mary Ford, The Ames Brothers, and more!
But wait… what do they have to do with anything? Who cares about a bunch of “oldie moldies?”
Please excuse me for a few more seconds. I had to revel in good old music for a moment. Now. Guess what Gretchen did? She created playlists!!! For Ante Up! Her playlists have almost all the hymns mentioned in the book! How cool is that? It’s only missing the correct version of “Oh Happy Day” and “Miriam’s Song.” THAT is pretty impressive.
But she didn’t stop there. Then she came up with a purely instrumental list! Can you imagine reading through the BONUS material with a nice playlist in the background? How cool is that? So, thanks, Gretchen for your amazing lists! I’m so excited to share them with everyone!
Here’s the instrumental:
And here’s the vocal:

Thanks again, Gretchen, for sharing these with us! All that time you put into it…. I can’t thank you enough!
You are not an old geezer. You’re a genius writer who is too busy writing amazing stories for us to read to explore all the new online things.
You’re so welcome. Hope you and the readers enjoy them! 😉
(Now excuse me while I go make another themed playlist. This could get addicting…)
So my question is, can you download these playlists to your mp3 player or i-Pod or etc.?
Hello Faith, you can absolutely install the free Spotify app on your iPod, etc. To download the music (rather than stream it on a wifi/data connection), you have to have a paid Spotify account, though. I just use Spotify when I’m home on wifi at this point.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
Isn’t Gretchen sweet? She’s responsible for my lovely site!
That’s awesome! Several of the hymns in the earlier books were not ones I was familiar with so it’s great to know where to find them.
Same here! I had such fun discovering some unfamiliar titles and tunes. Maybe one of these days I’ll beg Chautona for an entire list of ever hymn mentioned in the entire Aggie series.
That won’t be too hard. I’m going to be doing some update/revisions in the first three. I’ll just nab the songs while I’m in there.
Oh, that will be fun! A complete Aggie playlist. Yay!
