It's Monday and you know what day it is, right?
Yes, it's Memorial Day in the United States (see my post from this past weekend) but now it is time for music.
Who are the #MusicMovesMe bloggers? 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!) First, there is XmasDolly, who has a brand new blogging home. Her co-hosts are: Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, and me. Each month we have a guest conductor. This month we welcome, once more, John from The Sound of One Hand Typing. Thank you one last time for the great themes you gave us this past May, John.
Today, John's theme is "You Pick".
So, shall we get to the music I'm picking for today? My first picks are late May birthdays.
On May 26, Stevie Nicks celebrated her 73rd birthday and I will celebrate with her hit "Edge of Seventeen".
May 28th marked two music birthdays. A belated happy 76th birthday to musician John Fogerty. We celebrate with one of my favorite songs of his: "Centerfield".
The other birthday person from May 28th was Gladys Knight, who turned 77. Here is a hit from Gladys Knight and the Pips: "Midnight Train to Georgia".
This next song has been an earworm for me this past couple of weeks, and I hope this will finally let the worm escape from my ear (not literally, of course). From 1982, let's listen to the Motels and "Only the Lonely."
This song has also been on my mind recently - a 1969 hit for Diana Ross and the Supremes "Some Day We'll Be Together".
I end today with a song out of my normal posting zone: Seether and their 2014 song "Words as Weapons". They sure are.
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next Monday - same time, same place.
Fabulous picks today (and a clever way you picked your themes!) Love Stevie... haven't heard or thought of the Motels in years... going to enjoy listening to your songs tomorrow! :-)
ReplyDelete...great playlist! I know them all except The Motels and Seether.
ReplyDeleteGreat selections! Stevie Nicks is one of my all time favorites.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, your Monday Music makes my day. Never heard of the Seethers or Words as Weapons. Thanks for the education. But, the other songs have been on my hit parade for years. (OK. The Motels -Only the Lonely- just the refrain.)
ReplyDeleteGreat music share!
Great choices. I had the privilege of seeing Nicks at Jones Beach, as a soloist and as a member of Fleetwood Mac. Saw Fogerty there, too, on a double bill with Hackson Browne.
ReplyDeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteNice song picks. I like your theme, too. "Words Are Weapons" is new to me but the title is accurate. Words...negative, hurtful, mean-spirited are just that weapons. Thanks for sharing and for boogieing with me, girlfriend!
Such great tunes. Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteLove this selection. I saw Diana Ross in an outdoor concert once and she put on a truly amazing show.
ReplyDeleteI've always liked The Motels' "Only The Lonely" better than Roy Orbison's, for some reason. Nice selection!
ReplyDeleteYour knowledge of music just astounds me, Alana! You have become my song guru! I knew all the others (John Fogerty is a huge favourite) but have never heard of the last one. Sooo true!
ReplyDeleteFabulous picks, Alana, the last one was new to us, but that was a great song. We didn't know this song of The Motels, only Last Summer, that we liked very much and today we were taken away by Gladys..what a voice and so touching ♥ 😸Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend and see you next week🐾😽💞
