It's Monday, and it's time, once again, for music with the Music Moves Me bloggers.
Let's introduce the Music Moves Me bloggers.
We blog about music
each Sunday or Monday and if you have music to share with us, you are most
welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video,
please!) Our head host is Xmas Dolly, and our co-hosts are Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and yours truly.
You are welcome to join our Monday music group. It's so easy. All you have to do is join the linky above but your post must contain at least one music video. No music video? Your post may be removed, or may be labeled *NO MUSIC*.
This month our guest host is Cathy from Curious as a Cathy and her theme for this week is "You Pick Freedom of Choice Week".
Jack Sonni, the "other guitarist" of Dire Straits, passed away August 30 at the age of 68. Besides being a member of Dire Straits, Sonni was a music producer and podcaster.
Here, Jack Sonni with Dire Straits perform "Money for Nothing" live in 1985.
Another live performance "Walk of Life".
Terry Kirkland of The Association passed away September 23 at the age of 83.
Terry played some two dozen instruments and also was a songwriter.
Some of the songs he wrote for The Association are songs you probably know.
Cherish, from 1966.
Everything that Touches You, from 1968.
But others, you may not. This song from 1967, Requiem for the Masses, is not your normal rock song.
I'll leave you with The Association's first song release (1965), arranged by Terry Kirkland: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, a song that was later covered by Led Zeppelin.
May they rest in peace along with other recent inductees into Rock and Roll Heaven.
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next Monday, for a Halloween Eve episode of Music Moves Me.
...good memories.
ReplyDeleteDirecStraits and the Association, a very interesting combination
ReplyDeleteCherish is the word I used to describe....
ReplyDeleteWow
ReplyDeleteThe Associations is a favorite oldie band. I love much of the music from the 60s!
ReplyDeleteVery nice songs. Dire Straits is so very classic.
ReplyDeleteAlana, you're knowledge of music is absolutely astounding! So many of these were unfamiliar. However, Walk of Life is one of my favourite dancing songs of all time!
ReplyDeleteI had to go looking for a pic of my sister and Russ Giguere of the Association. My sister loved that group and was delighted when they performed here for our community. Totally forgot about meeting the band until you posted this.
ReplyDeleteSo...not the lead singer but his guitar sidekick passed. Way too many musicians have died in the last 2 years. I had no idea The Association created so many seminal works.
ReplyDeleteAll of those songs bring back fond memories.
ReplyDeleteYou have rocked the house girlfriend! Dang, how do you remember all these songs is beyond me! Sorry I'm so late. Between therapy and home life (cookin' & such), things get a little hectic. So, sometimes I go way into the night. Anyway, fabulous job... Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Such talent. Great job.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. ♥
