Weekend Music Share. 31/3/2019.

This week the prompt from Hugh an Erika Kind is to share a song that says something about us personally.

There had always been a spirit of earth and life deep inside of me. It has taken years for this spirit to surface in me. Last December she swam to the surface of my consciousness . She lead me by the hand and has opened my eyes to the truth .

This song by Imogen Heap and the Dewarists show exactly how I feel.

Have a great week everyone.💜💜

Weekend Music Share: First.

Hi I was just over at Hugh’s News and Views and saw he was taking part in Weekend Music Share . Hugh says Erika Kind gave him the inspiration for this music share prompt. We are all welcome to join in and use the tags ‘Weekend Music Share’ banner in your post and use the hashtag #WeekendMusicShare .

The very first record I bought with my own money. ( and I do mean record it was a 45″ vinyl ) was in June 1963. I was about 10yrs old and I had saved up for months. I think, no I am sure it was 6 shillings and 8 pennies in old money which is circa 34pence in today’s money .

The shop I bought it from was an old corner shop halfway between my home and my school…… well it was if you took a slight detour! I went in every day for a fortnight to see if the record had arrived. I went in three days running to make sure the owner was saving me a copy because I could not buy it until I had that week’s pocket money. He must of got really fed up with me.

Anyway when I did finally get my hands on my copy of it I rushed home to play it on our old Dansette record player ( well my sister’s and brother’s had been using it to death before me). I played it and played it on repeat until Mum and Dad asked me to STOP!

So here it is my first ever record purchase, Come On by The Rolling Stone’s , written by Chuck Berry.

WEEKEND MUSIC SHARE: Toss the Feathers, The Corrs.

Hi I was just over  at Hugh’s News and Views  and  saw  he  was taking  part in  Weekend  Music  Share . Hugh says Erika Kind gave him the inspiration  for  this  music share  prompt. We are  all welcome  to join in  and  use the tags ‘Weekend Music Share’ banner in your post and use the hashtag #WeekendMusicShare .

Well I love a prompt  and I especially  love  a music prompt . So the  theme is  music which features your favourite  instrument. I have cheated  a little  as  there are  three instruments when put together   send  me to heaven.  I introduce  to you  the

Bodhrán –  The Fiddle  and  the Tin  whistle.

I have  chosen The Corrs  an Irish band that combine pop rock with traditional Irish themes within their music. The group consists of the Corr siblings, Andrea (lead vocals, tin whistle, ukulele), Sharon (violin, keyboards, vocals), Caroline (drums, percussion, piano, bodhrán, vocals), and Jim (guitar, piano, keyboards, vocals). They are from Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland. Info from Wikipedia  The  tune I have picked I think  demonstrates what I  love  best about  the  three instruments.  Toss  the feathers 

Without  further  ado  here  it  is  enjoy! Hugh  shall we dance ?
