Hope They Find Their Paradise #MusicMovesMe #ShadowshotSuday

It's Sunday, and time for two memes.

Each Monday, I normally join a music meme called Music Moves Me.  Today, I am combining Music Moves Me with Shadowshot Sunday.

But first, the music.

Today I am joining up with other Music Moves Me bloggers (and you can join us at the linky below). 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 tPo join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please! Otherwise, your post link may be labeled "No Music" or even removed.  We have occasional theme weeks, but you are welcome to ignore the theme and use music of your chice.  Why not join us?  You don't have to sing, or play an instrument.  All music lovers are welcome.

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.

This week's theme is "You Pick".  And once again, I must lead off with inductions into Rock and Roll Heaven.

First, Rick Davies, frontman keyboardist, and cofounder of the group Supertramp, died September 5, 2025 at the age of 81, after a long battle with multiple myeloma, a bone marrow cancer.

 I loved Supertramp, and I owned the Breakfast in America album (in vinyl, of course).

 Here is one of Supertramp's hits, Goodbye Stranger, from 1979.

I have several other favorite songs from this group, among them Dreamer. 

Last but not least - School. 

Fun fact, the drummer of one of Davies' early bands was Gilbert O'Sullivan, who went on to his own music career.

The other induction?   Tom Shipley, age 84, one-half of the duo Brewer and Shipley, died August 24, only months after Michael Brewer's death on December 17, 2024.

 Brewer and Shipley were best known for their 1971 ode to cannabis, One Toke Over the Line, which was originally written as a joke but became their only hit. 

And that's a wrap!

Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me. 

But wait!  I'm not done yet.

 Let's retreat to the shadows, with this photo. 

Taken September 8, another Giant Swallowtail has visited one of my tall phlox plants.

I am linking up with #ShadowshotSunday, brought to us by Lisa at This and That - A Blog.

  1. That butterfly, and the phlox, are gorgeous! I can't keep phlox alive. I looked up the butterfly, the largest in N.A. That must be something to see!
