#MM: Duets

When I think of duets, I think of these mushy love songs, which isn't my style, so I had to look for something fun.

Here's a song from Annie Get Your Gun:

"Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better."

Next up, is one I've posted before, but hey, it's a fave. It makes me laugh every time I see it. Once again, without further ado, is King Louis and Baloo the Bear from the Jungle Book: "Swingdance."

Last up, is a fun duet from Paul McCarney and Michael Jackson: "Say, Say, Say."

#MM: Can You Stand It?

This week's theme is to post a song that is new to us and we can't get enough of it. This is a problem for me because in the last two weeks, I've posted this song in one form or another. Last Monday, I posted it as part of a Rewind of 2014, and the week before, I posted it as a rewrite of a Hanukah song. Well, you asked for it, but you don't have to listen to it, again . . . unless, of course, you can't get enough of it. Here's the song I've been singing since before Thanksgiving. It will probably be a frequent post should you join the hop.

I'm All About That Bass,

by Meghan Trainor

Here's an old one that I've never gotten enough of either.

I always think of Farris Bueller when I hear this song.

Oh, Yeah, by Yello

#MM Wood

Sometimes, dominoes are wooden. Sometimes,they're made of plastic,
but Jord watches are always wooden.
Have you entered my contest to win your own Jord watch? If not, stop by my post
and enter on the Rafflecopter above.

Jord Wooden Watch Giveaway

Here's something fun to view with music,
even if these dominoes look plastic.

When in high school, most clarinetists played plastic instruments, but mine was wooden.
The tone was beautiful, even though
I never played as well as this guy.
Wood is awesome!

Now go enter to win a wooden watch?

Since I was the Spot Light Dancer last week, I get to choose next week's prompt. I've already chosen the prompt of "Brief." Please join the Brevity Challenge whose purpose is to get everyone to make the rounds in the hop by keeping posts short.

Here are the rules:

1.) Write ONE sentence or less on your post.

2.) Post ONE song that is under three minutes.

3.) Visit and post a SHORT comment on EVERY blog that follows the rules before the next Monday Music Moves Me.

Let's plan on making the rounds next week.

#MM The Sixties and Seventies

This week's theme on Monday Music Moves Me

is Music from the Sixties and Seventies.

This should be a fun walk down memory lane.

1960s
Here's a fun one that was released in November, 1968. I remember sitting in the elementary school gym waiting for an assembly to start. The teachers played some music while we waited, and this one cracked us up. It's got to be one of the stupidest songs ever written. Plus, I love the great clothes! Check out this groovy tune. "I Love My Shirt," by Trev and Simon.

1970s
My mom told me this one was about getting ice cream. I was old enough not to believe her. Afternoon Delight by Starland Vocal Band came out in 1976.

Jord Wooden Watch Giveaway
And finally, stayed tuned to my blog because I am going to be giving away a beautiful Jord watch real soon. Here's one of my favorite songs about time from Chicago, "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" It was released in 1969.

#MM : The Back to School Edition

Today, Monday, August 4, is our first day of school; so here is something educational.

Music From Memphis, TN

WC Handy (Father of the Blues) statue on Beale Street
He wrote the Memphis Blues.

I chose this week's Musical Monday Moves Me theme. Everyone needs to tell us where they are from and to feature music from their home town. Since I've lived in Memphis for the last 29 years, I now call this Tennessee town home. First up is a song from a young artist who was an APEX (intellectually gifted) student in Shelby County Schools where I teach. I know a couple of ladies who taught him, and I once saw him perform at one of our teacher's conferences. Unfortunately, I wasn't smart enough to ask Dr. Weiner when Justin Timberlake was coming in so I could schedule my dental appointments to be "In Sync" with his visits. I never saw another one of his patients, Gennifer Goodwin, in my dentist's office, either.

The next artist is The King. Although he died before I moved to Memphis, my father-in-law taught him how to tie a tie. My husband used to see him regularly at the Memphis Jewish Community Center after hours. He'd come out with his buddies to play basketball. Uncle Bernard Lansky, the clothier to the king, was so tight with Elvis that my husband was invited to ride in one of the limos at his funeral; however, Mitchell couldn't get home from college. Elvis Presley recorded his first record at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Yo! Here comes Elvis.

There are many more artists with a Memphis connection. Ike and Tina Turner once owned a home not too far from where we live, Aretha Franklin brought lots of "Respect" to Memphis, Tennessee, and Rosanne Cash was born here while her father Johnny was recording at Sun Studios. Though not born in Memphis, B.B. King moved here and Isaac Hayes died here. We have become the mecca for music over the years as many artists lived here. But I know no one has ever heard of any of these people I mentioned or the many more one would find if you googled "Memphis Musicians." Not being one to post a lot of songs, I will end with one final song about our town. Marc Cohn wrote it after being touched by a visit to Memphis. He captured this place so well, that here he is.

They even made a Memphis the Musical.

So, do you this I was being selfish when I suggested this theme

or did I just want a chance to brag?

#MM Live At The Garden

I am thrilled to be this week's spotlight dancer and to take you to the concert we attended Saturday night. Sorry I can't share the delicious picnic basket, but I'll give you a taste of the music we heard.

Monday Music Moves Me is into male rock 'n roll or country stars this week, so I'm featuring the bands we just heard.

First up, we enjoyed The Plain White Ts. They were a special treat that didn't even get their name printed on the ticket. Quite an under appreciated band who had a fabulous stage presence.

Next up came Daughtry, who we really couldn't see because two rude women blocked our view and refused to sit down throughout the entire performance, even though five different people contacted event staff. When I asked nicely, the beotch said, "I can do what I want." Selfish, but I believe karma will get her back.

Before the Goo Goo Dolls took stage, event staff had a long chat with the women––who stayed seated throughout most of the performance. Of course, it didn't matter to us because we moved seats along with four other frustrated people.

As the spotlight dancer, I get to pick the theme in two weeks. I've chosen a great one for me here in Memphis and anyone else from a musical place. If it's tough for you, feel free to reach a little outside your borders as I present two requests: Tell us where you are from, and post your hometown bands, artists, or songs.

#MM Southern Rock On

In the early eighties, I saw The Charlie Daniel's Band in concert.

Now in 2014, he's still performing for a new generation as my son goes to see him.

Here's another one that I used to love to listen to. I had the album and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Remember Olivia Newton John in Xanadu?
Great music but movie, not so much.

That's me!

#AtoZ: Favorite Son Returns - Letter F

Happy Birthday to Daniel

My Favorite Son

Me at 26 with Daniel

It's April 6th, and here's the post you've all been waiting for: a recap on my favorite son's lovelife. One year later, and he's still single. Some of you may remember my post on his birthday last year, where I advertised to find him a wife. I actually survived the post and am ready to celebrate his birthday number 26. On my birthday 26, I was married and expecting Daniel.

On the bright side, Daniel has a girlfriend, and I actually like her. She is blond and beautiful (of course), and she is not afraid of me . . . yet. This girl has a great personality and is fun to talk to. On the Jewish issue, we're halfway there, but it's the Dad half. I wonder if she'd convert? She's also smart. She's working on a Master's Degree at Vanderbilt. And guess what else? She actually reads my blog! So, am I in trouble again this year?

I figure my last year's post wasn't that bad because Daniel has shown it to everyone and their kid brother. If you missed it, you'll have to check it out and see what you think: Last Year's Mom Fail. I'm sure you'll laugh.

On the down side, Daniel's girlfriend has a mustache. I guess it's okay if she doesn't spill food in it when she eats.

Since it's time for Musical Monday, I will leave you with "Danny's Song." We started his Bar Mitzvah video with this very same tune.

Musical Monday: We Can Dance - Hollywood Movie Dance Tribute

What's your favorite Hollywood dance scene?

It's just might be here.

Monday Music is Moving Me Now

I'm quite honored to be

http://www.xmasdolly.com 's Spotlight dancer!

Why not be the 2014 Spotlight Dancer?
It's not officially Monday here, either.

X-Mas Dolly chose moi, even though I didn't celebrate Christmas; but, I did rock along with some fab holiday tunes.

This week we have a double theme:

Great Tunes from 2013/New Year's music

Tunes about Time.

I guess being the spotlight dancer means I have to follow this week's theme; so, the Disney spoof will have to wait until next time.

Let's turn the music on.
