I am Thankful for Stevie Wonder

When choosing my artist to be thankful for, I had several thoughts. At first I could have gone with Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, or Taylor Swift; but then, I thought I should be thankful for one I've listened to my entire life. That's when Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, and Michael Jackson emerged as a strong possibilities. The problem with Jackson is that his life outside of singing doesn't bring thanks. I probably would have gone with Jagger if a Stevie Wonder song hadn't reverberated through the radio.

Stevie Wonder has not only been entertaining me for years, but surely he has inspired many of young artists. There is not one Wonder song that isn't wonderful. Plus, he's blind. I saw him in concert once. He spoke about threatening his daughter's date with his gun when he would blindly shoot around the room. He's great! so here goes . . .

First up is my husband's favorite Stevie song.

And here is mine. I think it's one of his lesser known songs, but I could be wrong. In the eighties, I worked at Marboro Hall in St. Louis, a respite care facility for handicapped children and adults. We often played the radio on a jazzy station that used to play "Do I Do" a lot.

Now that I've listed my husband's favorite Stevie song and mine, here is the song from our first dance at our wedding thirty years, ago. We danced to "Ribbon in the Sky" by Stevie Wonder.




I usually post one or two songs, but come on, now, this is Stevie Wonder!

And finally, here's your chance to get to know the man behind the music. Enjoy!

#WW A Poem

“

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Musical Monday's Celebration

I woke up to a wonderful surprise this morning. For several years, I've been trying to get a product featured in the Teachers Pay Teachers newsletter. It's not easy, but when I opened the emailed newsletter, TADA, there was my free product. I don't even remember submitting it. 

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Stuck-in-a-Chair-Logic-Problem-to-Challenge-Gifted-and-Talented-or-Bright-Kids-2657692

As a result, I've had a good sales day, and my followers have increased. Furthermore, I've had more page visits and downloads than any other product! I've been told that the sales bump and follower increases take place for the entire week. This is what I've seen so far.

I'm curious to see the stats at the end of the week. Plus, I had already garners multiple visits and downloads before I'd even woken up. So, Music Monday calls for a celebration. Here is Kool and the Gang!
