Nostalgia and Rain #MusicMovesMe

It's Monday, and 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.  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"You Pick". It seems like I've spent some of the last few months living in the past.  Oh yes, those were the days!

Mary Hopkin and "Those Were the Days" from 1968. 

"Those Were the Days" was the theme song from the 1970's theme song All in the Family.  Jean Stapleton's voice is so screechy I can barely stand it but the lyrics are gold.   This is the first time I heard the entire song. This version, apparently, was never played on the long running TV show.

 

"Summer of 69" from Bryan Adams.   I decided on this live version with Taylor Swift and Bryan Adams.  Oh, how I wish the sound quality was just a little better. 

As for rain, I was inspired by the weather reports several days ago for Southern California. This first song, from 1971, is a nostalgic song for me. 

Here are The Doors and "Riders On the Storm". 

Let's end with Albert Hammond and his 1972 hit "It Never Rains in Southern California".

And that's a wrap!

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