Saturday Song-suasion #31~ Van Morrison
The luck of the Irish is still with us, as I continue bringing to you another week of musical talent from the Emerald Isle. When I began researching artists and bands, I found a few surprises like Van Morrison is from Ireland. Did you know?
If you don’t know the name, I bet you will know this song by Morrison.
This song is quite popular, and yet the rest of Morrison’s songs somehow slipped by me over the years. Here are a couple new-to-me top oldies I discovered.
I hope you enjoyed your visit. In fact, I hope you enjoyed it so much that you cannot wait to tell your friends. Go ahead, hit the share (Facebook, Twitter, Google+) button! You know you wanna. 😉
Thank you for stopping by to listen to the music. Have a songtastical day!

I knew! Into the Mystic and Days Like This are two of my faves! I used to fall asleep to Van Morrison in university to drown out the noises of my dorm. Him and James Taylor, or Cat Stevens. Worked like a charm.
If you want to hear a more rock version of Brown Eyed Girl – check out EverClear’s cover of the song.

James Taylor and Cat Stevens…yep those are fabulous artists. Dorm life has to be a bit crazy. Our first year that we were married, we rented a trailer. One our neighbors, although quite nice, loved to throw loud boozing parties on the weekends. Thankfully, as I said he was over all a nice fellow and when we asked him to tone it down, he obliged us. Thanks for the tip on the rock version of Brown Eyed Girl. I’ll check it out!

I didn’t know you were doing this on Saturday! Why didn’t you tell me. I usually save the weekends for my reviews, but I think I can squeeze something in, but next week because it’s late in the day already & I’ve got to get these reviews out. Was checking on your link. I thought you made a new blog, but I guess this is it. Sending the 4M info out now. HUGS & have a great weekend. Love all your tunes here mama!!! ROCK ON!
