Music on Facebook during the week, started 29 July 2024
This was started after a prompt in a post or comment. It is a nice way to start the day. Sometimes the music matches something about the day, sometimes just a random selection. Music to not be political. On Sunday I share the hymn that matches that day in the year. The FB post will be public.
M - Two Sunsets
by Ludovico Einaudi
T - Bella’s
Lullaby by Carter Burwell, Twilight soundtrack
Shared in sequence because Einaudi’s music seems to me the type of music Edward Cullen would compose.
W - Robin Hood
& the Tanner by Richard Searles, discovered him at the Harvest Festival,
nice chatting with him about the lovely Celtic music.
Th 1 August
2024 – Faery Queen by Heather Alexander, first heard her at a BayCon? I think.
Went to several concerts, a couple of them home concerts where performance was
recorded. Transitioned to Alexander James Adams. To me as Heather she had one
foot in the land of fae and one foot in mundane world. She was magical. He has
both feet in mundane world. Music is still good, but magic is missing for me.
F – Travelin’
Man by Ricky Nelson. Watched Ozzie & Harriet growing up and seeing Ricky
get his start in music. Died way too young.
Sa – Ode to Joy
flash mob. Classical music day.
Su - #217, Come
Let Us Anew
M – 5 Browns,
Rhapsody in Blue
Tu – Merry
Minuet by Kingston Trio from 1959 Live at Hungry i album. With hurricane Debbie
hitting Florida and SE states and wild fires out west, it brought this little
song to mind. Mother liked it when heard it on radio and my brother and I
hunted down the album for either Mothers’ Day or her birthday.
W – I Want to
Hold Your Hand by the Beatles, video of their appearance on Ed Sullivan show in
1964. I remember seeing.
