This is America by Childish Gambino #MusicMonday
Since 1979, June has been set aside to appreciate the contributions of African-American musicians, composers, singers, and songwriters in American culture. This song by Donald Glover, known by his musical moniker, Childish Gambino, set a milestone in 2019 when it became the first hip-hop song to win both Song and Record of the Year at...Continue reading This is America by Childish Gambino #MusicMonday →

Fade Into You by Valerie June #MusicMonday
Mazzy Star released “Fade Into You” almost thirty years ago. Since then, numerous artists have covered it, but until this version, the original was always my favourite. With the recent death of David Roback, who wrote the song with his Mazzy bandmate, Hope Sandoval, I happened upon this interpretation by Valerie June. June performed recently...Continue reading Fade Into You by Valerie June #MusicMonday →

Beth by KISS #MusicMonday
I attended a KISS concert recently. Okay, it was a KISS cover band. Last Monday, my girlfriend invited us to a block party for the Victoria Day long weekend, hosted by a longtime resident of her street. Food and drinks, an ice cream truck, fireworks, and a cover band have apparently been his generous tradition...Continue reading Beth by KISS #MusicMonday →

Wild is the Wind by David Bowie #MusicMonday
On Saturday, my cellphone lit up just before 1 p.m. warning of an imminent thunderstorm. It’s rare to receive this type of warning from the national weather service, so we took it seriously. I’d just been outside gardening and found it difficult to fathom the weather could change so quickly, but it did. Within minutes,...Continue reading Wild is the Wind by David Bowie #MusicMonday →

Light Switch by Charlie Puth #MusicMonday
It seems summer has turned on like a light switch. Not long ago, I wrote of snow, hail, rain, and grey skies. This past week, leaves are covering once-naked trees, Kelly Green lawns are emerging from hay-like patches, and bursts of colour have filled in gardens around the city. During a long walk with a...Continue reading Light Switch by Charlie Puth #MusicMonday →

Walking on Sunshine #MusicMonday
We’ve had warm days this past week with the mercury rising to as high at 18C. Summer is imminent and so seems the sunshine. This old song from 1985 always made me feel good with its simple, catchy lyrics. Don’t be surprised if it becomes an earworm. You can thank me later, haha! 😀 Have...Continue reading Walking on Sunshine #MusicMonday →

Freedom with Jon Batiste #MusicMonday
For some time now, the word “freedom” has made me cringe. It was associated with the trucker convoy (Freedom Rally), which shut down our nation’s capital for three weeks. In Austria, the U.S., New Zealand and elsewhere, groups frustrated with pandemic restrictions formed their own convoys in the name of freedom. This past weekend saw...Continue reading Freedom with Jon Batiste #MusicMonday →
