It's Monday once again, and it's time for music! Welcome to Music Moves Me.
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.) We have occasional theme weeks, but you are welcome to ignore the theme and use music of your choice. Why not join us? You don't have to sing, or play an instrument. All music lovers are welcome.
Today's theme is "Song picks that say "now That it's Autumn, what are you looking forward to?" But I am going to start with (sadly)I still another induction into Rock and Roll Heaven. Today's inductee is the late Chris Dreja, who passed away October 2 at age 79 from unknown health complications. He was a rhythm guitarist and co founder of the Yardbirds, and co wrote many Yardbirds hits. This band also launched the careers of Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, but Dreja chose a different road.
When Jimmy Page invited him to join Led Zeppelin, he chose instead, photography. One of his portraits ended up on the back of Led Zeppelin's debut album. Later, he joined a group called Box of Frogs, and also reformed the Yardbirds but had to abandon that after a series of strokes in 2013.
Some of the songs he co-wrote.
From 1965: For Your Love.
From 1966, Over Under Sideways Down
And now, things I look forward to in fall. Although I dread winter where I live in New York State, fall can be such a wonderful time. This year, we've had morning sweater weather, but this weekend it was so mild and beautiful.One thing I love about October, as someone who likes to take pictures, is the sun angle. It can almost be like a perpetual golden hour, that time before sunset that makes for perfect lighting.
Here's Kacey Musgraves and Golden Hour.
In October we have art trails, farm trails and more. Some years, we take advantage of these seasonal road trips.
James Taylor and October Road.
Finally, there are the leaves that turn from green to their true colors, before falling to the ground and exposing their winter look. Fall is a time of change, and we have no choice but to accept it. Here's Simon and Garfunkel and Leaves That Are Green.
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
