It is Music Monday here at my blog (Once Again!) ... I wanted to mention Rod Stewart today because I heard a few of his older songs on the radio this past weekend. I am sure many of you will have comments about this post - good, bad or indifferent. Rod has always been a favorite of mine. I have attended many of his concerts over the years, knowing all the songs, and dancing in the aisles. I have fond memories of listening to his music while growing up. I still enjoy his music today. I love the avenue he has gone down with his GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK Collection ... Including all the old songs my heart sings to ... Who's music makes your heart sing? Or do you have a favorite singer from growing up that brings back good memories for you?
It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
Oh, Rod.hum,hum,hum yummy. Ageless forsure and has been a musical companion as well as my first favorite Cher. I still visit their music, past and present in my vinyl collection.
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice for a Monday! thankyouxxxx
Prudence - So happy to know, you are also a Rod Fan ... I was thinking of having Cher as a Music Monday - So stay tuned ... She is also a favorite of mine. I love how these artists continue to reinvent themselves ...
ReplyDeleteLove how you have kept the vinyl tradition going ... I am slowly adding new CDs to replace music from the past on the vinyl & cassette :)
So glad we connected!
There are many, but the one that always brings back the memories is Eddie Grant. My brother liked him a lot and I also became fond of his music. So every time I hear one of his songs I'm always brought back to my childhood. ;)
ReplyDeleteSonja - Thanks for chiming in - Eddie Grant - I will have to look into this musician - Thanks for sharing your story with me - Love it when a song speaks to us ... Childhood Memories ... So comforting ...
