It's Sunday, and it's time for music!
I'm posting a little early this week.
Who are the Music Moves Me bloggers? 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! We are brought to you by Cathy of Curious as a Cathy, Stacy of Stacy's Random Thoughts, Marie (Xmas Dolly), and myself, plus other music loving bloggers.
Why not join us? Our theme this week is "June boasts the most daylight hours. Share music about long sunny days. Express yourself in song however this prompt moves you! "
How about a visit to local parks, or somewhere you can appreciate the warm weather, the clouds, and other things. I grew up in an apartment building in the Bronx (a borough of New York City) and we did not have a terrace. We didn't have a backyard. Or a car. But we did have our parks.
The first song that came to mind is Grazing in the Grass from the Friends of Distinction. Can you dig it? (oh, that outdated slang in the song, but it's still a nice, mellow song).
Here's another song you can dig, so to speak. Saturday in the Park was a hit for the group Chicago in 1972, but I am going to use the cover from Leonid and Friends. To me, Leonid and Friends covers sometimes outdoes the Chicago originals.
The Cowsills and their 1967 song The Rain, the Park and Other Things (which enough people think is named I Love the Flower Girl) was a part of the Summer of Love. Here's a live performance of the remaining Cowsills from 2025 including that song and Indian Lake, another one of their hits.
I have to include one Beatles song: Strawberry Fields Forever, not because it's about New York City's Strawberry Fields area of Central Park, but, rather, the innocence of childhood and John Lennon escaping into the gardens of a local children's home with friends to find peace. As you may have guessed, the Strawberry Fields of Central Park was created as a tribute to the late John Lennon, who lived close by at the time of his assassination, dedicated in 1985 to his memory.
And that's a wrap!
I may be late getting to you this week, but I will get to you. Thank you for your patience and enjoy the music!
