The Story
Time – The Musical is an original A Frank Angle production featuring songs about time.
Program (Past posts)
Act 1: Time
Act 2: Specific
Act 3: Years
Act 4: Months
Act 5: Days and Weekdays
Act 6: Weekends
Act 7: Hour(s)
Act 8: Brevity
Act 9
Act 9 focuses on songs about extended time … long time. Examples of words in the title include decade(s), century(s), era, epoch(s), and potentially others. “Years” can be used if and only if the number is at least 100. Future dates as 2525 are not acceptable. Besides pleasing the producer, an additional challenge for attendees is no duplicates.
Production Note
It has come to my attention that past acts have crashed browsers. Please 1) include the song title and artist in your text, and 2) paste the URL as part of your last line (not a new line). The latter will provide a link, thus not embed the actual video … but I don’t mind unembedding, so apologies are not necessary.
Announcement
Ladies and gentlemen, to kickoff Act 9, a grand AFA welcome to Sting with A Thousand Years.

Beulah the Buzzer for this one because the title lacks the designated time reference. However, being a benevolent host, here’s Eric Clapton and Stevie Winwood with Forever Man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOK7alO6hNY

I agree a tough theme. Although ten years is a decade, when years is in the title, the number must be at least 100. So, knowing you like to stretch the music envelop, here’s Jean Luc Ponty with Two Thousand One Years Ago … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vq_vfQimCs Enjoy

Hey Cincinnati Kid,
You know me, I am soo lousy at these challenges. But I loves that Sting spill you have going, and so here’s a peaceful solution.
It’s my spin on a conversation that I happened upon earlier tonight, before I read this creation of yours, but after which? I truly do agree with. And please, there’s no need to inform me that my selection didn’t pass muster. I’m just looking for the excuse to play my favorite version of that crazy spiral known as time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qTJowtn38w
