Isn’t that gify a rib splitter? It totally cracked me up when I found it! Last week’s snow is all gone. Today, we’re suppose to get more snow, but I don’t think we’ll get any accumulation. The last two days has been really mild. Unfortunately, more cold bitter temperatures are back lasting through the new week. I do see signs of hope in the forecast which shows things much milder the last week of the month. Oh, I can’t wait for it!
Welcome to Monday’s Music Moves Me on Sundays! This week’s theme is whatever music moves you!
Pulling from my archives YT clip saves, I thought I’d bring to some jazz this morning. I can’t tell you how I made the discovery of Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express but I’m glad I stumbled on him. Auger is an English rock n’ roll jazz keyboardist whose worked with these familiar artists Rod Stewart, The Yardbirds, Jimi Hendrix, and a few others.
From the album Straight Ahead (Available on YouTube is the album playlist), here’s the recording that reeled me Bumpin’ on Sunset.
Music themes are only suggestions. I don’t care one what kind of music it is, as long as you share music. Now, it’s your turn!

Keep life simple and have a boogietastic week, my friends.

Congrats on the new addition to the family. Very cool. Also, thanks for hipping me to some new music. I really enjoyed hearing this. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
Congrats on being a new grandma mama! This music was really chill and I enjoyed the listen. That video cracked me up. The cat has a good wrestling move.
Congratulations, Cathy, and how exciting about another grandbaby!
OMC that kitty and the little one…MOL… That mewsic is so lounging, CK, good for a mewsic Monday
That’s such wonderful news for the New Year too, being a grammie again. So excited for you
Double Pawkisses for a Happy Week ahead
Congrats on the upcoming grandbaby.
I’ve been a Brian Auger fan for over 50 years. That seems kind of weird to realize.

I really liked that tune and the tackle kitty too!
This is an old Wes Montgomery song. Sounds a lot different on the organ or electric piano. Still fantastic!
By the way, the cat looks just like my Willie. If you know Ritu Bhatal, she has a cat looks like that, too.
Heeheehee! I can always use a laugh, thanks, and thanks for the great music!
Great music to relax to. Ahhhhh…I needed that. Congratulations on being a grandmother again. Alana ramblinwitham

That video clip of the cat taking down and pinning the kid is hilarious!
My very favorite musical instrument is the electric organ, and my favorite organ keyboardist is Brian Auger. So, needless to say, Auger is one of my all-time ALL-TIME favorite musicians ever. I got to see him perform live once in 2009 and met him after the show. He seemed like an extremely nice guy! I shook his hand, which seemed like a bear’s paw!
I featured ‘Bumpin’ On Sunset’ in my Rocktober post of Oct. 24, 2024. You were the only person who commented. You wrote this: “I really like Bumpin’ On Sunset. … Excellent song share!”
My own favorite recording of it is the live version from the album ‘Live Oblivion, vol. 1’. (You can find it at YouTube.) It has a slightly faster pace. Steve Ferrone (who later became the drummer for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) arrived for the show at the club (The Whisky-A-Go-Go on Sunset Blvd.) a little late. He was amped-up about running late, so when they opened the show with ‘Bumpin’ On Sunset’ (which is indeed a reference to Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood), Ferrone started his drumming at a slightly quicker tempo than normal, and that’s how we got the more “amped-up” rendition.
Say, my friend, there’s still a wee bit o’ time to have an impact on my Battle Of The Bands contest. It’s Bing Crosby & The Rat Pack versus Hank Williams Jr. & his rowdy friends. Please come by with your two cents if’n you get a chance.

Congratulations!! How exciting about another grandchild. XO
This reminds me of a darkish lounge, low music, dim lights, peanuts or pretzels on the tables…
