4M Presents 1938 Hits of Ragtime Memories

Posted on July 9, 2012

Welcome to the 97th edition of Monday’s Music Moves Me and the kick off to our grand Gala Giveaway promo!

Marie from Xmas Dolly is the head conductor of the Love Train. To make sure things run smoothly, she has enlisted a few co-conductors: Lorie of The Shewbridges of Central Florida,  Callie of JAmericanSpice,  Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, and yours truly. This month’s honorary co-conductor is Larry from CakeBlast!

Let’s get this dance party started, shall we? This week’s theme is “Freebie pick – songs of your choices”.

My dad’s birthday is this coming Sunday. He’ll be 74 years young! To celebrate the year (1938) of my daddy’s birth, I give you these song picks!

“Thanks For The Memory” Bob Hope & Shirley Ross
“Wistle While You Work” Shep Fields
” A-Tisket-A-Tasket” Ella Fitzgerald
“Alexander’s Ragtime Band” Boswell Sisters

 

Happy Birthday, Daddy! 

Love always,  your little girl

    These were all great songs! I loved them all. I think A Tisket A Tasket is my favorite. I get to hear it about once a month when my son starts watching all of his Abbott and Costello movies. Sorry I didn’t get around to you sooner, but I just haven’t felt myself all week.

    PS: Happy Birthday wishes to your dad!

    I love those kinds of songs because they remind me of my grandfather’s garage and how this staticky old radio always played while he worked on cars and bicycles.

4M Guidelines: Below are the 4M co-hostess. The rules are simple. Every other week, a suggested (not mandatory) theme is given to build your song picks. We're looking for embedded music to enjoy, one song or several. On the off weeks, we dance to whatever music moves you (your choice)! It's just that easy. Have fun and welcome to the party!
