Charlie Watts #MusicMonday
Calm, cool, and stylish, musician Charlie Watts passed away last week at the age of 80. For nearly sixty years, he was the steady backbeat of the Rolling Stones. I’ve seen the band once, but my husband is the true fan. He’s seen them numerous times, including the Charlie Watts Jazz Quintet at Ronnie Scott’s...Continue reading Charlie Watts #MusicMonday →

The Barricades of Heaven by Jackson Browne #MusicMonday
Sometimes a song sticks and won’t let go. This past week, I was listening to more Jackson Browne, and “The Barricades of Heaven” stuck. It played as I prepared breakfast Saturday morning. I loved listening to the words while standing in the kitchen cutting fruit into small, bite sized pieces. Ontario peaches are now in...Continue reading The Barricades of Heaven by Jackson Browne #MusicMonday →

I’m Alive by Jackson Browne #MusicMonday
I was familiar with some of Jackson Browne’s popular songs like “Doctor My Eyes” and “Running on Empty”, but I’d never explored his music as a whole until I’m Alive. His high profile break-up with Daryl Hannah, (she left him for John F. Kennedy Jr.) is rumoured to have been the catalyst for this album....Continue reading I’m Alive by Jackson Browne #MusicMonday →

Colorful #MusicMonday
I was away this past weekend north of the city. It was rainy and cold, not great weather for the cottage, so I spent my time reading and watching the Olympics. Track and field, swimming, and gymnastics dominated the screen. I rarely watch TV at home, so doing so for an entire weekend became addictive....Continue reading Colorful #MusicMonday →

Rocky Trail by Kings of Convenience #MusicMonday
It’s been twelve years since Kings Of Convenience, made up of Norwegians Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe, have released an album. You may know I have a special fondness for Norwegian men as evidenced in my novella The Norwegian. “Rocky Trail” is the lead single from Peace Or Love. It reminds me of the...Continue reading Rocky Trail by Kings of Convenience #MusicMonday →

Kenny by Still Woozy #MusicMonday
Sven Gamsky is the artist known as Still Woozy. His single “Kenny” struck me as a dreamier, more trippy version of the Beatles’ song “Free as a Bird.” When I watched the video, it only reinforced the melancholy vibe of the song. In a recent interview for Wonderland Magazine, Still Woozy said “Kenny” was inspired...Continue reading Kenny by Still Woozy #MusicMonday →
