Free by Florence and the Machine #MusicMonday
A friend sent me this song, and I loved it almost immediately. Bill Nighy, an English actor plays an unusual character to Florence Welch in this video. I can relate to the song lyrics and Welch’s frenetic energy, in both the physical and mental sense. It’s a sign that life is far from normal right...Continue reading Free by Florence and the Machine #MusicMonday →

800 Word Story ~ The Game of Life
Welcome to another 800 Word Story, this time a solo effort. That means you get two stories from the same prompt. As usual, I procrastinated on this, but in a conversation with a friend a couple of days ago, a spark of an idea came to me. In the end, it’s not exactly as I...Continue reading 800 Word Story ~ The Game of Life →

King and many others performed at the festival for nearly 300,000 people, made up of an all-Black...Continue reading Summer of Soul #MusicMonday →

Leave the Door Open by Silk Sonic #MusicMonday
By the time this post goes live, the Grammys will have just aired. I’m not much into award shows anymore, but I’m always curious to see what’s considered “the best” of the industry for the year. My taste in music is diverse—from hard rock to jazz, blues to bluegrass, rap to country, and more. I...Continue reading Leave the Door Open by Silk Sonic #MusicMonday →

Taylor Hawkins, the drummer for Foo Fighters died last week while touring in South America.

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons – “Winter” by Christian Li #MusicMonday
Yesterday at 11:33am, spring arrived in my part of the world. It was a gorgeous day, even though snow was predicted for part of it. Thankfully, snow never showed, but it remains a possibility for this time of year. I originally wanted a version of Antonio Vivaldi’s “Spring,” but my favourite of his musical expressions...Continue reading Vivaldi: The Four Seasons – “Winter” by Christian Li #MusicMonday →

Whatever Gets You Through the Night by John Lennon #MusicMonday
I was talking with my husband last week about guitars and music. One thing led to another led to this song. “Whatever Gets You Through the Night” is upbeat, which isn’t my current mood. I’d guess it’s not the mood of many right now. Still, each of us has to get through the night somehow....Continue reading Whatever Gets You Through the Night by John Lennon #MusicMonday →
