Welcome to Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me on Sunday! This theme this week is freedom of choice which means you get to pick whatever songs you want.
Today, we’re going to play a little game called Name that band! I’m going to give you a name of popular, successful group who started off with a horrible name. My first band is comprised of two young men who went by Tom and Jerry.
They started their musical journey as teenagers and scored a minor hit in the mid to late 50s but failing to produce another hit which caused them to focus on college instead of their career. They got back together in 1964 dropping their original moniker and using their real names. I’ll give you hint, listen to Hey Schoolgirl.
Who are Tom and Jerry now? If you said Simon and Garfunkel then you’re right. The boys risked alienation by using their Jewish names. Unfortunately, in those early years minorities weren’t treated too kindly. It doesn’t matter what color your skin is, we’re all the same in God’s eyes. I’m happy the boys were successful in their quest to write and record music that has entertained us through the years and across different ethnic backgrounds.
Now let your mind transform to the days of the 60s and 70s with a few of Simn & Garfunkel’s greatest hits!
Simon & Garfunkel playlist: 1. I Am A Rock 2. Kathy’s Song 3. America 4. Bridge Over Troubled Water 5. Mrs. Robinson 6. The Sound of Silence 7. The Boxer 8. A Hazy Shade of Winter 9. Cecilia 10. Homeward Bound

This is a mewsic linky party. Every other week we have a suggested mewsic theme (see side menu) to build your song set around and all participants share YouTube or Vimeo videos for our mewsic enthusiasts. Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.
Our good friend Marie isn’t feeling too well due to her chronic back issues. I’m unsure if she’ll be ready to boogie with us this week so if you don’t see her on the dance floor then kindly say a little prayer for her. She has a MRI scheduled this week. I hope it can tell the doctor what he needs to do to fix our girl up good as new.
Thanks for making me a part of your day. I hope you enjoyed the new series launch and song picks today. Next up, is Top Ten Tuesdays. Stay safe, be well, and have a boogietastic week, my friend! X💋X💋, Cathy
