My Music Monday - The lion sleeps tonight

Well the photo above is not a jungle, but a lion would find it safe here.  I love the music on this,  

My Music Monday - Charlie Brown Medley - The Piano Guys

Okay, I have lens envy.  I look like a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree by comparison. 

My Music Monday : Cher - If I Could Turn Back Time

Cher, she has been around forever.  She can still put on a nice show. This cute little fox crossed the road early one morning as I was headed into the swamp.  He/she stopped and stared, then disappeared into the woods. 

Why did the fox cross the road?

My Music Monday - 40 FINGERS - Africa (TOTO)

I enjoy the familiar, in a new way.  Here is another contemporary classic, in a new arrangement.  Enjoy! 

My Music Monday - Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen) on Harpejji G16 by Mathieu Terrade.

Something a little different this week. Enjoy! 

My Music Monday - Something a Little Different - Wintergatan - Marble Machine

I am always fascinated by machines, machines that make music are especially fun.  The first winter we were in Florida, the neighbor had a restored player piano, they welcomed me to play it from time to time.  

Do you need one of these? 

My Music Mondau - Kim Carnes - Paris Without You

This one is a little long, but there are no images, so you can leave it playing in the background and open another window while it plays.  The song was written and first recorded by Don Potter.  The jazz station in Winter Park, Florida started playing it while I was in undergraduate and I fell in love with the words.  The romance of the adventure of travel.  This version has a nice softness to it.  

My Music Monday - Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild

I have a neighbor who has a BMW Z-4 convertible.  Neat older guy. I was talking with him one morning about his car.  He said, he had thought about buying a motorcycle, then someone pointed out to him the only difference between his convertible and a motorcycle was two extra wheels that keep it upright and a top that keeps the rain out, he couldn't be much more out in the wind if he tried.  Good point, it is unlikely I will ever own a motorcycle - well there was the Harley that one time, that I was hiding for a friend, who didn't want his father to know he had bought, so we put it in my name and hid it in my father's garage while they were north for the summer until the time was right to break the news.  That is until my parents showed up unexpectedly in May- I had some explaining to do. And my father, knew his father, more explaining to do.    

For now, this is about as wild as I need to get. 

My Music Monday - Highway to Hell - The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

When I grow up, I want to be like the older man on the end, with what is left of his hair, grown to unthinkable lengths, gray as nature intended, and completely engaged in what he is doing.  He is living, he is alive.  My covid-19 hair is not showing much here, I am a couple of months away from a pig tail in the back.  

My Music Monday - BROSCIENCE - El Arco De Cabo San Lucas

I mentioned last week, that I sometimes find entertainment on YouTube, Brian Hawn does mostly covers, often showing off his best assets and those of his friends. 

 

My Music Monday - Janis Joplin- Me and Bobby McGee

I thought about dropping Music Mondays, then someone mentioned Janice - the pureness of the voice - and I needed to do this.  I have a bit of a YouTube habit, I may mix in a few Media Mondays.  

My Music Monday - Sir Tom Jones 80 Years Old and He Still Has It

I remember when Tom Jones burst onto the US music scene, oh he was sexy.  I was surprised to see he is still performing, then I searched YouTube and found the posting below from this year.  He still has it, age is not a barrier, he can still make hearts go pitter-patter.  I suspect the show in Kilkenny was cancelled or postponed,  Ireland shut down in mid-March.  I hope he gets back there to wow the crowd.  

Enjoy! 

My Music Monday -Be Political Not Polite

Pride Month, Black Lives Matter and everything that is happening in the world, this song seems particularly timely.  I try to stay away from politics and the challenges of the world on my blog.  This is a no drama zone.  Yet we are all a part of this.  Stand up, speak up, speak out, do the right thing. VOTE like you life depended on it, it does.
