Welcome to this month’s exhibit which has been a bit hastily put together… I forgot that a new exhibit was due!
This month suggested exhibit: Put together a soundtrack for a day in your life. What songs do you choose and why?
What songs and why… well, I think the songs sort of explain themselves. But the why… well a perfect day is not every day. So the music I selected is for that perfect day.
I cannot start the day without coffee… really. And my favorite “coffee” song is Java Jive by The Manhattan Transfer!
Once that coffee is made and Sherman has been walked… I savor the quiet. Cue Simon and Garfunkel’s Sounds of Silence (I know, I know… this song is about much more than silence… but it still works!)
In my perfect day, I would have uninterrupted knitting time… and who knew there was a knitting song?! Thanks Bill Eddie for The Knitting Song!
As the day winds down, that magical hour arrives… you know it… the Happiest Hour! LOL UB40’s Red Red Wine works for most days!
The perfect day is one where I don’t have to answer the dreaded question… what’s for dinner. I so appreciate a night of “to go” delivered! We don’t do this often so when it happens it is a real treat! Manhattan Transfer’s Soul Food To Go…
I know I said the perfect day… but really… most nights Bruce Springsteen’s 57 Channels (and nothin’ on) is reality.
Finally… the perfect night means one with no insomnia… Bing Crosby’s Count Your Blessings from White Christmas has some great advice.
I hope you all found this musical interlude into my day as fun as I did! See you all back here next week!
Fun!! Who knew there was a knitting song??
I love your playlist! (There are so many parallels to my own life, it’s almost like you compiled it for me!)
I had that simon and garfunkel album and listened to it over and over again!! fun posting.
Well I never heard Bill Oddie’s song before. He’s best known as a comedian in the TV show The Goodies’ and as a twitcher of the First order..a Bird watcher who travels loads of miles to catch a glimpse of a rare bird and used to present Nature watch TV programmes. If you Google it there is even a knitting pattern released with the song!
That knitting song is a hoot!
Nice playlist! I had that Simon & Garfunkel album and listened to it over and over!
This is a great take on this month’s exhibit topic! And I love that you including Counting Your Blessings!
Nice list Kat. I had never heard The Knitting Song. Oh – Simon and Garfunkel and The Sounds of Silence. I am still one of their biggest fans. That tells you how old I am. Ha.
What a great playlist to accompany your perfect day, Kat! XO (And, truth be told, it could very much accompany mine, too!!! Do you think there might be a weeding song????)
In the “perfect” day there is never a weed. Think English Country Garden with all the flowers in bloom, bees buzzing, and birds singing! Weeds only happen in every other day!! 😂😂
Such a creative approach to this exhibit!! Clever. Fun. Catchy.
