Theme 426 - Songs in the Life of Quays: Songs about docks, harbours, bays, quays, piers, landings, moorings. - Grimmy - VOTING - closed MIDNIGHT Sunday June 23rd

[Val]

Grimmy widened his theme as follows:
"About my upcoming theme: I was so pleased with myself for coming up with a 'clever' title that i didn't bother to see if the theme was viable. After a quick bit of research it looks to me that, apart from a couple of obvious suspects, there is very little to choose from unless one likes sea-shanties or folk songs. So, to widen the choice in the hope of coming up with a diverse playlist I would like to add that the theme can cover anywhere you can land a boat or berth a ship, including shorelines, lakesides, towpaths, beaches, pontoons etc etc, and it can be song title, band name or even just a mention in the lyrics."

So that should give us plenty leeway (see what I did there??) to come up with a couple of tracks with a nautical bent.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 427 - "The Happy Organ" #3 - Song titles that contain the word heart or words with heart in them e.g. heartache, heartbreak, heartbeat etc. - KJS
MON JUL 1 Cream of 2024 - Summer - Round 1
MON JUL 8 Cream of 2024 - Summer - Round 2
MON JUL 15 Cream of 2024 - Summer - Round 3
MON JUL 22 Cream of 2024 - Summer - Round 4

and new themes are welcome at:

I went the band name route.

[theDuke]

I hope these 2 fit the criteria, cos all i was coming up with, was a load of sea shanties! 1st song mentions a quay in the lyrics & the 2nd mentions a bay.

Sending out an S.O.S. Where's Grimmy????? It's his theme and I'm sure he must have had a couple of bangers set aside for it.

Send them quickly and I'll tag them on to the playlist:

In a flurry of Sunday night voting, some back runners tore to the front:

In first, it's me with 33 votes for The Magnetic North (I think I have to thank Lez for putting me on to them some years ago)
In second, it's Tim with 32 votes for Grateful Dead (Wharf Rat would be pleased - here's to him if he's still about)
and in third, it's Brass with 30 votes for Otis Redding

and once again, no wooden spoons so there was something for everyone.

Grimmy - glad to see you made it back to vote - and, as you said, a very varied and enjoyable list. Hope all is well with you.

[Grimmy]

HiVal - thanks for your concern - - no worries, just family and gardening duties and builders ( or lack of them) taking up most of my time...

[SussexWelsh]

I met up with Wharfy in York last year for a few beers, along with nocheese, Ben B and Mr. SR Jackson from the old Amazon days. Wharf was on fine form

[Val]

Thanks for the update Sussex! Good to hear the old gang is fighting fit and enjoying life.
