It's Monday. It's time for music!
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 "Things in a song that make you think of May".
This first song is an oldie but goodie - Julie Andrews Vanessa Redgrave (thank you, readers, for noticing this error) singing The Lusty Month of May from Camelot. Because May...well, thoughts turn into certain directions.
It can also be the month of storms. Here is Billy Joel with Storm Front, from 1989.
This song takes place in July, but just thinking of a day like this makes me think of May. Some years, we have some of our warmest weather in May and you want to go to a park. Here, from 1972, is Chicago and Saturday In The Park.
And, since today is the Cinco de Mayo how about this song from WAR: Cinco De Mayo.
Finally, May means flowers to me. I love this song, and it makes me think of May. Since I had this song on my blog not that long ago, I chose this live performance from 2013. The sound quality isn't the best, but I liked hearing the modern Cowsills. Sadly, several of them, including lead singer Billy Cowsill, have passed away.
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
I especially liked the Cowsills - happy singing.
ReplyDelete...here's to a Saturday In The Park or any day in the park.
ReplyDeleteWe had some thunderstorms last week which ushered in some cooler temps Saturday night. It's a wee bit chilly and we're under gray skies. The mild temperatures are a welcome. It'll warm up again before we know it. I don't remember the tracks you shared by Billy Joel or War. Here's hoping Mr Blue Sky is hanging overhead for you this week. Have a boogietastic day, darlin'! xo
ReplyDeleteA great playlist. Enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteA nice selection of May tunes.
ReplyDeleteThat’s not Julie Andrew’s. She did the role onBroadway but you’ve got the movie clip …that’s Vanessa Redgrave
ReplyDeleteGood tunes! Especially liked Chicago and The Cowsills, who are a whole lot less annoying now than they were 60 years ago...
ReplyDeleteI've always liked Chicago.
ReplyDeleteGreat songs but the first is Vanessa Redgrave in the film but it's not Julie Andrews singing. I'm not sure who is dubbing for Vanessa
