It’s not unusual for me to feel a bit overwhelmed with deadlines, projects, and life in general. After all, I’m well practiced at handling being ridiculously over committed. Over the years, I’ve honed a few skills and habits that help ease the stress: Conquering email clutter Taking breaks Delegating Saying no to noise and needless [...]
I can always count on my friends to nudge me towards this millennium in terms of music. I’m always looking for new tunes – music is my ULTIMATE moodbooster – along with coffee, rest, and flowers. It is what nudges this reluctant exerciser to actually sweat. It is what reminds me to breathe. Music is [...]
It seems that this month’s Music Monday has been oh-so-much-more than just music. Yes, we’re DANCING! We’ve enjoyed some vintage choreography with some easy steps to get the juices flowing as we prepare to conquer the day. And following the music-dancing theme would not be complete without the amazing Tina Turner – the original stuff [...]
Here we are on another Music Monday and I’m feeling the need to MOVE with this vintage choreography. Don’t be afraid. The steps are not difficult. And the vocals? Uh… better than the studio version. Gladys can SING. And those Pips can DANCE. Yowza! Care to join me? More Music Monday Goodies
I do believe I was born a bit too late. There’s nothing like an old fashioned version of I’ve Got a Woman by Ray Charles to lift the spirit. Yep – Ray is my ultimate moodbooster. Make sure to watch long enough to see the dancers. Oh My! I do believe I’ll shut the office [...]
Of course any tribute to 1967 MUST include White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. It may seem a bit cliche, but sorry – this is an amazing tune. Released in 1967, Surrealistic Pillow was Jefferson Airplane’s first album with Grace Slick. White Rabbit and Somebody to Love were both written by Slick and, in my opinion, [...]
It goes without saying, Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh is a kick ass song. Love the tempo for the bike or elliptical – I would SO rather add resistance than add speed. The phrasing is perfect for some quick intervals. And it’s an really tough easy breezy 5 minutes. It’s perfect to wrap up [...]
It’s official – summer is here! I’m going back for this one – I remember listening to this all the time as a kid. And I always LOVED all the soulful voices with their unique characters. The easy breezy intro, gorgeous harmonies, and soulful shout outs all make Hot Fun in the Summertime a perfect [...]
This song makes me smile. Every time. Period. Enjoy this 1977 classic from Bill Withers – Lovely Day. Then one look at you, and the world’s alright with me. Just one look at you, and I know it’s gonna be A lovely day. Lovely Day by Bill Withers Wishing you a Lovely Day! If you [...]
I have a confession. I’ve always wanted to sing with a big band. I’m no Ella [gross understatement], but how fun would that be? Strutting around in a fancy dress, dancing with a kick ass horn section, and singing with wild abandon. “I’d like to coo with my baby tonight…” “It’s tooooooooo, da-aaaaaaaarn, ho-ttttttttt” Enjoy [...]
