My humorous thoughts about life.
"My Humorous and Helpful Thoughts About Teaching / Educational Resources for Your
Classroom / Music and Random Fun"
Musical Monday is all about songs with places in their titles. I would love to travel to these places this summer, but whoa is me, I'm not going to any beaches or mountains.
This song is in honor of my daughter Erica who is spending a good part of her summer in the Colorado Rockies. I wish I could join her!
In honor of Erica, I will also feature her beautiful clipart. She is quite talented and even bakes adorable and delicious cakes. Here's the one she made for Cinco De Mayo. If anyone lives in Atlanta, she will be moving there and needs some buyers for her cakes.
I know I've posted this video before but when the topic is "Sibling's Day", there is none better. I am fortunate enough to have one big bother and two older sisters. My family is so cool that I couldn't help but follow them wherever they went. I remember this song coming on the radio while my sister gave me dirty looks. Too bad. She's stuck with me! Here is Sweet.
I followed my sister so much, that I even attended DEPO, which was the high school dance! I remember one of her guy friends getting on his knees to dance with me. I'm not sure what song we danced to, but DEPO always makes me think of Peter Frampton, so here he is. On another note, one of my son's friends is a neighbor of Frampton's, in Nashville. Old man Frampton has lost his beautiful long hair, but he still is a legacy, at least in my mind! I love the Moog Synthesizer.
Happy birthday to Mary's brother!
My oldest sister also has a June birthday.
She will be XX on June 18th.
Hint: She's six and a half years older than me,
so DANG, she's old.
Happy Birthday, Barbie!

Also, since it's time for Monday Music Moves Me, here's a song. This is the opening to one of my favorite movies about a contest. If you haven't seen Rat Race, you MUST check it out!
First up, from the wild and turbulent 1968, comes a Beatles song that tells it all, Helter Skelter.
"I've got blisters on my fingers!"
Next up are the Rolling Stones. I had a tough time choosing one song because Mick Jagger was and is that good. He was so young in the sixties, but in 2017, he still has the moves!
As I watch the concert game spin across Facebook, I thought about adding this band at the bottom of my list of those I've seen in concert to see if the young people even know they're a band--that I haven't had the pleasure of seeing.
Guess Who?
Okay. I cheated a little with that one. Although the band has some good songs from the 60s, I wanted this one, which was released in 1970. Back in college, I went to a bar where they had just finished playing American Woman. A foreign looking man with his shirt unbuttoned and huge gold bling hanging around his neck approached me with his arms spread out and his hips shaking. He sang, "Amereecan Wooman." All I could do was sing, "Get away from me."
I am just beside myself thrilled with all of the chances you have to win money to spend at Teachers Pay Teachers. Check out this additional contest that I'm helping to sponsor! There is a lot of money to be won.
