Walking On Sunshine
Waking up to glorious sunshine after a cold wet weekend what a wonderful start to Tuesday 1st October!
Clear air, brisk breeze, happy to be alive. Sunshine on my shoulders as I walked Woody outdoors, the warm seeped in between the blades, a comfort knowing the sun always shines.
Kick off early with Three Tune Tuesday a mix of three each to their own.
Co-written with John Denver this lovely tune popped into my head, some found style of music sorrowful, I found it uplifting as coming from winter into warm season of growth and vitality, although we enjoy more sunshine than most, take the sun away for a couple of days people do become glum!
John Denver - Sunshine On My Shoulders
An age when songs categorically sang about woman or men, feelings, love, companionship, how many are able to simply enjoy simplicity of the sexes today?
When did we complicate life, a boy is a boy and and girl is a girl, minority of friends had preferences outside the norm, no one criticized actually not one cared. Life is to be lived please don't lecture me now I'm too set in old structure to break the mold.
An authentic American musical icon brought lives, loves, dreams and possibility through enduring artistry of every day living a pleasure to listen to once again to Soul and Rhythm.
"I write and sing about whatever I am able to understand and feel. I feel that it is healthier to look out at the world through a window than through a mirror. Otherwise, all you see is yourself and whatever is behind you. BW"
Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine
Change Gears, off LP Disraeli Gears, highlight of song is smooth transition from blues to more psychedelic sound, a mix of hard rock, blues and psychedelia, fun times!
"It is interesting to note how in hindsight this classic song with its unforgettable riff is remembered by its creators. For Jack Bruce & Pete Brown it is their baby, forged in the sometimes fraught companionship of pressure of work. For Eric, whose large contribution of impressive & innovative guitar sound & memorable chorus, it merits little mention in his autobiography 'Eric Clapton The Autobiography' (Century:2007), he merely refers to it as a 'hit single' they had in the US in 1968.

Walking on sunshine comes to mind in closing, by end of October I really hope the painting/repairing around house is comes to an end, make way for the next task! Pre-Loved goodies next to turn attention to, pass on to those who want or need things no longer actually required or not used in last 10 years.
Why now? I ain't leaving a mess at the end of the road if I can help it, perhaps downsize is an idea, unbundle a must, no vultures circling, sunshine pop!
