Today I am joining up with other Music Moves Me bloggers (and you can join us at the linky above). We are a group of music loving bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday (or even later in the week). If you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please! Otherwise, your post link may be labeled "No Music" or even removed.)
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, last but not least, me.
Every other week we have a theme. This week's theme is "Rain Showers". Silly me, I thought it was "April Showers" so that's what I blogged about. I guess the recent rains we've had made me read the theme that way.
There are lots of songs out there about rain, but not that many about April showers. So let's start with a song called April Showers, which was originally written for a Broadway play in 1921. I remember it still being popular when I was growing up in the 1950's and 1960's. It's been covered by many artists but I'm choosing this 1921 recording from Al Jolson.
April Showers.
Little April Shower from the Disney movie Bambi.
March Winds and April Showers - Teddy Joyce and His Orchestra, from 1935.
Some songs hat may or may not be specifically about April showers:
Here's a cute children's song: The Kiboomers and April Showers Bring May Flowers.
Rain, from the Beatles.
I'll wrap up with Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head, a 1969 hit for B. J. Thomas.
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
It’s great that you're participating in the Music Moves Me blogging group! “April Showers” is such a classic tune, and it’s wonderful to hear you share the 1921 recording by Al Jolson. It’s interesting how songs from different eras still manage to resonate with us, and the theme of rain (whether April or otherwise) always brings a sense of nostalgia and mood. I can see how the recent rains would inspire you to connect the song with the current weather.
