And an Euphorbia in my yard (from a past year).

I pick...songs beginning with the letter E. Turns out there are a lot of them.
As a preteen, my son loved the Backstreet Boys. I listened to this song so many times that I grew to love it, too. "Everybody (Backstreet's Back).
Three Dog Night and Eli's Coming. This is a live performance with a beginning that goes on forever.
Rod Stewart and Every Picture Tells A Story.
I was going to end with a song written by Gordon Lightfoot and sung by the great Elvis - Early Morning Rain. But we found out the other day that the great Bill Withers had died at the age of 81.
So many have leaned on this song during times of trouble, and today, many more are finding inspiration in it.
Such as in this more recent cover, by various artists. "There's Always Tomorrow".
And so ends E Day on the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. My theme: America the Beautiful.
Some really great tunes here today my friend. Yes, Mr. Withers rest in peace. I loved his long Lean on me. My boys sing & they picked his song to get up and do each time they're called on. You have some really great tunes here today I must say. 3 Dog Night's video was a hoot, but also fantastic. That's my favorite one for today besides Mr. Withers of course. Have a great day & stay healthy.
ReplyDeleteNice post. I think we all will miss Bill Withers. Such a perfect song for what we are going through right now.
ReplyDeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely old home! I bet that place is expensive. 'Lean On Me' was popular when I was in grade school. I remember singing one of the verses in 6th grade choir. I was super nervous and barely remember doing it. 'Edelweiss' is a lovely soothing song. My girls enjoyed the BSB somewhat in their youth. I don't think they had many songs that they liked, though. It's kind of fun now to listen or to see them perform on TV now. Have a boogietastic week. Stay safe and sound; sending to you love, hugs, & prayers, my dear!
Lovely picture and songs. RIP to Bill Withers. Such a talent.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is an eclectic selection, something for everyone. I really love The Sound of Music, always sing along when it's on TV.
