Chasing Freedom ~ A story for @RBwood’s #WordCountPodcast

The story is based on the following image which required we incorporate Murder, Mayhem, and Horror in the theme. Story Inspiration: “Chasing Freedom” was inspired by a manhunt of two men in Canada, summer 2019. They...Continue reading Chasing Freedom ~ A story fo...

107 Degrees #MusicMonday
A sexy addictive song, I love everything about it—the beat, the lyrics, the music. I hear it weekly during my hot body tone classes near the end of the workout. The song was part of the soundtrack for The Lincoln Lawyer, a film based on the bestselling mystery novel by Michael Connelly. Citizen Cope has...Continue reading 107 Degrees #MusicMonday →

A Case of You #MusicMonday
I’ve featured Joni Mitchell many times; I’ve even featured this song. This video is new to me, however, and it’s worth adding here. This song is forever linked to a certain time in my life, and Joni’s playing of the dulcimer is too beautiful to pass up. Enjoy your week and “A Case of You.”...Continue reading A Case of You #MusicMonday →

Who Knows Where The Time Goes? #MusicMonday
I saw Richard Thompson this past weekend. For those unfamiliar with his work, he’s a brilliant singer/songwriter and incredible guitar player. He debuted as a recording artist for the band, Fairport Convention in September 1967 and continues to write and perform today. His biggest hits “Wall of Death”, “The Spell is Broken”, and “Dimming of...Continue reading Who Knows Where The Tim...

Can’t Find My Way Home #MusicMonday
I decided to springboard off last week’s post and add another Ginger Baker song—a favourite of mine and others who read my blog. Baker was part of two major bands—Cream and Blind Faith. “Can’t Find My Way Home” written by Steve Winwood, was first released by Blind Faith in 1969. Rolling Stone referred to Ginger...Continue reading Can’t Find My Way Home #MusicMonday →

Toad #GingerBaker #MusicMonday
Ginger Baker, legendary drummer who co-founded the band Cream with Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce died yesterday at the age of 80. Influenced by jazz and the polyrhythms of Central Africa, Baker was also known for his use of two bass drums instead of the conventional one. In this video shot in 2005 for Cream’s...Continue reading Toad #GingerBaker #MusicMonday →

The Mystery of the Theremin #MusicMonday
Known as the untouchable instrument because it does not require touch to give a sound, the theremin is named after Léon Theremin, a Russian physicist who invented the device in 1920. I saw it played recently by Canada’s Clara Venice. At the time, she was performing in my favourite candy store, which is just a...Continue reading The Mystery of the Theremin #MusicMonday →

Autumn Leaves #MusicMonday
Summer ended this weekend, and today is officially autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. Though I wish “Autumn Leaves” were a command for autumn to go away, it is not. Autumn is here. I’ve seen evidence with the changing colours and fallen leaves. I’m grateful it still feels like summer with the sunshine and clear skies....Continue reading Autumn Leaves #MusicMonday →

The Way it is #MusicMonday
I don’t consider this a strong protest song, not like “Get Up, Stand Up” by Bob Marley, “What’s Going On?” by Marvin Gaye, or “The Times They Are a-Changin’” by Bob Dylan, but it does reference the American Civil Rights movement. The lyrics ask that we resist complacency and not resign ourselves to racial injustice...Continue reading The Way it is #MusicMonday →
