Well, hello. I’m still testing this.

Music Notes

A simple music themed blog for Jeff’s "Invalid Item"

challenge, and also to dump my thoughts about the 48 Hour Media Challenges when I don’t feel like creating a story or poem from the provided material. I may also add random poetry in here if I feel like it doesn’t qualify for a separate item.

That was an amazing performance. Dan certainly has a sense of showmanship..

In response to "I Heard It Through the Grapevine (CCR)"

I've only known the Marvin Gaye version. I have to say that CCR did it justice. The drums and that bass. So cool.

Excellent choice!

Great song choice! There is also a version with Gladys Knight and the Pips that may or may not have been the first one. It was the first one that I heard.

In response to "If I Had a Hammer"

Puff the Magic Dragon is a great song for traumatising the kids. There's nothing like a happy ending, and that one is definitely nothing like a happy ending.

In response to "I Won't Back Down"

I like Tom Petty, too. My favorite song is Mary Jane's Last Dance. However, I like the message of I Won't Back Down. It's a fine choice.

In response to "Creeque Alley"

This is when I like AI. The song is a story about when the group was formed. It was released when I had first started college. Where? In California! Good choice of song.

In response to "Three Little Birds"

It's been a long time since I've heard this song. I don't know if I've heard it from beginning to end. I think it's just been in pieces in different instances. Thank you for sharing. I don't have a playlist, but the song is fun.

The Cricket's Wicket

This entry features an instrumental song by the Irish classical band Nightnoise

. I did a quick Google search on the track just now and discovered that all these years I've had the name of the band switched with the name of the track! This

Facebook post is a beautiful description of the song, btw...

The only way I discovered this is because of my Mom. She would sometimes tell me the story of how she acquired her Nightnoise album, and play this song on YouTube. Back when she was a college student, the local radio station ran a little giveaway contest where you had to guess the snippet of a song they would play and you won an album. Mom recognized the song The Weight, by The Band, and that's how she had the album.

The Cricket's Wicket is gorgeous and dreamy, progressing through different stages until it reaches the final climax, which sometimes brings me to tears and other times makes a lovely lullaby for the evening. It fills my head with peaceful images which elude my description, as is often the case with the music I love. I treasure this six minute long track and count myself lucky to have grown up with it.
