Welcome to Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me! July is drawing to an end and time marches by quicker than the day before. We’re rounding out the month with your choice song picks and that’s purrfect because I’m feeling rather melancholy with the sands slipping fast through the hour glass . I want to share a fabulous David Lanz YouTube playlist I found while listening to the first song, Cristofori’s Dream, thanks to fellow 4Mer Patrick earning him extra brownie points for introducing this mewsic jewel a few months back. Press play, relax, and unwind to the beautiful sound of strings.
I made a gift for you to enjoy feel free to use download, print, and use the August 2020 calendar page that I created using one of my images. 🙂

DISCLOSURE…this is a mewsic linky party, which means all participates are sharing songs that one can listen to from YouTube or Vimeo and a not a post about mewsic or mewsicians. Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.
Let me wrap things up with a word of thanks to our very own, Alana, for coming up with some stupendous themes for this month as our honorary co-hostesses. You’re duh bomb, girlfriend! Until next time, keep that groove in your move and have a boogietastic week!

A relaxing set. I am not familiar with David Lanz, but his music was soothing. And that instrumental beginning to “Whiter Shade of Pale”..more and more the violin is becoming one of my favorite instruments to listen to. Then, you had to stick in one of my favorite Cars songs into this. Very nice!
Alana,
I love listening to string instruments and the violin is purrhaps my favorite. Thanks for boogieing with me, darlin’!
Nice relaxing music. Good to see you here. Your calendar was five stars !
Anne,
Thanks for letting me know that you liked the calendar page! 🙂
Sorry I’m so late, but I’m here and I’m glad because this song you have chosen is amazing! It’s so very pretty I had to play it twice girlfriend. You really know how to pick them. Well, today I’m going to start again to try and make that new blog. I have to because the girls I was with are moving on also. Oh well, how do they Kay-sa-rah-sir-rah, right? I just hope I can figure this stuff out. It’s been like about ten years for pity sakes. Wow, this tune is really something. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day baby girl. Hope all is well with you & yours! HUGS…..
Marie,
No need to apologize ever. A visit from a friend anytime is always welcomed! If I can help ya with moving your blog in any way, just let me know and I’m delighted to do what I can to make the transition easier. Have a great week!
Love the mewsic, Cathy! Thanks much for the calendar and have a great week!
Eugenia,
Thanks for dropping by for some mewsic. You’re most welcome for the calendar page. 😉
You’re welcome!
Hope you had a fabulous Monday!
Mimi,
Monday was a good day. I had to swing by my GYN for blood work to get my next batch of HRT pellets. Normally I don’t have this done but I’m seeing a new doctor since my regular doc retired in June. I was so sad that he did but am happy that he can pursue life’s interests now as a retiree. Anywho, for some reason my estrogen level was high after seeing this new doc for the first time which concerned him a bit considering I wasn’t getting any additional estrogen any other way than with the pellets and it had been 5-months since my last ones. If anything I should’ve been low. Oh well…we’ll see how the labs read this time. I’m eager to see what he says about my blood work. Thanks for visiting, my dear!
We enjoy that relaxing style of music here too!
Brian,
It is relaxing and just purrfect to soak up sometimes. Thanks for dropping by!
…well Cathy, I can see that you are a fan of New Age music, something that hasn’t hit my radar screen. I’m just an old age dude, I guess. Lighter Shade of Pale hit home I must say. Thanks for sharing and visiting me me, take care.
Tom,
I love a wide range of mewsic! I bounce here and there sometimes but when something grabs my ear I just run with it. 🙂 You put together some great mewsic on your blog which I really dig a lot. I love the old stuff mostly anything from the 60s through the 80s. That’s a really good span for mewsic. There were some good songs from the 90s, but like the previous thirty years. By the way, who’s the old age dude you’re talking about? 😀 Thanks for stopping by to sample the tunes spinning on my turntable, my friend. Rock on!
Great song. Love how calming it was. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you for the introduction and for stopping by today, my friend!
Nice, calming choice. Have a wonderful week. XO
PS: Thank you for the calendar 🙂
Nice music for reflection and contemplation. This can certainly put me in a reverie.

Tossing It Out
David Lanz is one of the authentic New Age performers. There’s always this rush to group Smooth Jazz and New Age together for radio programming purposes, but the two genres couldn’t be more different. He has a nice touch and his songs are delicate and good for relaxing. Good pick for today!
Beautiful picture, words and music!
We must try that app 🙂
I love that app. That’s beautiful and so is the video. So serene.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week, Cathy. Love and hugs. ♥
Oh yes, CK, we Enjoyed it all😸 Beautifully done, and the mewsic was magnificent. Your painting is beautiful and that verb very inspiring💗Pawkisses for a Happy Monday and Week ahead🐾😽💞
Awesome image and music. This whole covid-19 thing seems to have everyone feeling a little melancholy these days. Have a blessed week.
Love Cristifori’s Dream! The album he did with Spears is good, too.
Julie,
Thanks for visiting. I really enjoyed this playlist. I will have to check out more of his mewsic when time permits and I’ll be sure to look for the one you like.
Hi, Cathy!
Happy Awww-some 4M Monday, dear friend! I hope you and your family had a nice weekend. Yessum, it’s already the last week in July. Soon snow will be falling and we’ll be counting down the days ’til Christmas and laying another year to rest. As I listen to your playlist of tinkling piano melodies by David Lanz beginning with the lovely “Cristofori’s Dream,” I am already hoping that 2021 will be a much better year for all of us than was 2020. I pray it won’t be worse.
The playing of Lanz relaxes and calms the nerves, doesn’t it? I’d love to go to “Piano Heaven.” “Morning Sunshine” is delightful with the sound of a flute setting our minds adrift. I appreciate the embedded quote “If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine.” I also very much agree with the quote there by Elisabeth Kubler Ross: “People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”
I still can’t get over how your Brushstrokes app transforms ordinary photos into oil paintings! Thank you for posting two of these works of art, and especially for including with one of them a sample of your talent as a poet. ‘On Yesterday’ is a wonderful verse, Cathy. It left me misty. I think it goes well with the awe inspiring Brushstrokes scene in the background.
I hope your week is getting off to a great start and will continue to get even better from here on. Thank you for the morning meditation and inspiration, dear friend Cathy!
Tom,
I appreciate you joining me so early this morning, my friend. Brushstrokes is a fabulous app! I’ve printed one image years ago on plain paper and it turned out pretty decent. What I’d like to try sometime is to upload one of them to an online site to have it printed and shipped to me. I’m sure a high quality color laser printer would do a beautiful job. Maybe, I’ll look into this option. I’m really curious to know how one of my works will look. 🙂 Thanks for your kind words and visit. You’re such a good friend!
