Who are the members of Music Moves Me? We are bloggers who blog about music each Monday and if you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only, please containing links to You Tube or Vimeo for actual music. Other posts are subject to removal or labeling as "No Music".) First, there is XmasDolly. Her chief co-conductor is Cathy of Curious as a Cathy. Her other co-conductors are Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, and me.
Today, I again welcome those in the Ultimate Blog Challenge to rock out with me.
For January, our guest conductor is Michelle at Music and Merriment with Michelle. Today, and I apologize for this, I am not going to be following the theme, mainly because the death of Rush's drummer Neil Peart derailed me a little and, due to circumstaances, the only thing I could do was move the post I intended for the 13th into this spot. So come back again next week.
Today, I feature songs that have appealed to me recently.
From 1962/1963: Vince Guaraldi Trio and the Grammy Award winner "Cast Your Fate To the Wind".
From 1966, The Left Banke and "Walk Away Renee".
From 1984, Talk Talk and "It's My Life".
From 1965, Gerry and the Pacemakers with "Ferry Cross the Mersey".
Ricky Nelson, with his 1961 hit "Traveling Man".
"We Gotta Get Out of this Place"by the Animals - a 1965 classic beloved by those who served in Vietnam.
Wrapping up with Del Shannon and "Runaway".
See you next week - same time, same place.
And, while we are at it: day 20 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge #blogboost
Alana,
ReplyDeleteSometimes you gotta go with the mewsic that moves ya instead of the theme. That's the wonderful thing about having your choice song picks is that you can always squeeze in a theme that you missed or continue on with the theme. I read the mews of Neil's passing but I can't recall if I knew which group he drummed for. I'm not super familiar with Rush's songs. We're at the stage in our lives where we learn about the passing of many of our favorites. Have a boogietastic week, my dear!
I like all of those songs too.
ReplyDeleteVery cool songs. Nice. Haven't heard Talk Talk in a long minute.
ReplyDeleteAll of these are great, particularly "Cast Your Fate To The Wind." Vince Guaraldi doesn't look the same without that big mustache, though.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Ya even got Del Shannon! Now there's a guy who made a lot of money. That was my brother's era, but I heard his tunes all the time when he'd turn his stereo up! hahaha~ Thanks for joining us girlfriend. Ya got some great tunes here. hugs
ReplyDeleteRick Nelson's Travelling Man! Love it!
ReplyDeleteRick Nelson's Traveling Man! A favorite of mine!
ReplyDeleteAlways was a fan of Gerry and the Pacemakers! And, Ricky had two good songs- this was one of them. And, Del??? My,my, my. Thanks for reminding me about Cast Your Fate (until I heard it, I wondered what it was...).Never did know who did Walk Away, Renee or It's My Life- but liked them, too. Thanks for making my morning!
