It's Monday, and it's time for music!
Who
are the Music Moves Me 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-meaning at least one music video,
please!) Our head hostess is Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, and she is joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, and
little ol' me. Our founder, Xmas Dolly, has stepped back from blogging
for now, and would appreciate your good thoughts as she works through
some health issues.
We'd
love more music lovers to join our fun group. All you have to do is
join the linky above with a music post that contains at least one music
video (there must be a music video). That's it!
Each
month, except December, we have a guest host. For the month of May, our guest host is John Holton of "The Sound of One Hand Typing" and he's got a good month of themes picked out for us.
For today, John is choosing the theme "Work Songs" in honor of St. Joseph the Worker and May Day.
Let's start with a song by The Judds, in honor of the late Naomi Judd, who passed away this weekend. Here's their cover of "Working in The Coal Mine".
Let's move on to a Disney song from 1938's animated movie "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Here's Adriana Caselotti and 'Whistle While You Work".
Loretta Lynn and "Coal Miner's Daughter", a tribute to her father.
Let's get into some rock now and "Working for the Weekend" from Loverboy.
An R&B entry now, from 1983. From Donna Summer, "She Works Hard for the Money". And, you'd better treat her right!
Madness and "Cardiac Arrest".
I'll end with Creedence Clearwater Revival and "Door to Door".
And that's a wrap! Join me again next week for another episode of "Music Moves Me". And I hope you will also join me Thursday for my Blogging from A to Z Retrospective.
...work songs have always been an important part of music.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection, and bittersweet in the light of Naomi Judd's death.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices today.
ReplyDeleteI was gutted when I heard about Naomi. Mental health is real and we need to do a better job of dealing with it.
ReplyDeleteTook me back to so many times of my life. :-)
ReplyDeleteWork songs! They're the best! And ending with CCR, arguably the best band of all time? Perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove me my Mondays here! Carol C
ReplyDeleteLoved your choices- but never heard the last two. And, I was a CCR fan!
ReplyDeleteI heard the news of Naomi passing. That was a sad moment. She was such a pretty lady and I always thought she had the better voice of the duo. I didn't know about Naomi's mental health issues. I had assumed her death was related to Hep C but I did a quick search with articles revealing the cause of death was suicide. That's so heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteYour song selections were nice for this week's theme. I enjoyed sampling them. Thanks for sharing the dance floor with me, darlin'! Have a boogietastic week!
Tragic news about Naomi Judd. She's from coal mining country, like Loretta Lynn. Great set here!
