Hey folks, I missed all of you over my two week blogging hiatus and I’m now back in action…sorta. DH and I enjoyed our together time like always. The R&R break is just what we needed. This week’s Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me theme is your choice song picks which is purrfect as I’m eager to tie two mewsic memes into one songsational post.
I can’t remember when it was but sometime this year I got the brilliant idea after listening to Shirley Bassey on SiriusXM covering an opening James Bond theme song. Honestly, I thought she was the original artist but I was proven wrong after I did a quick search. Anyhow it caused my brains’ gears to click and clatter. A big question mark popped inside my head, “Why not do James Bond theme songs for BoTBs?”
Do I have you pumped? Alright…according to Wikipedia Dr. No is the sixth novel by the English author Ian Fleming to feature his British Secret Service agent James Bond.Fleming wrote the novel in early 1957 at his Goldeneye estate in Jamaica. It was this Fleming title that became the first movie in the long history of James Bond films.
In the opening of the movie the song Kingston Calypso plays written and recorded by Monty Norman with Bryon Lee and The Dragonaires as three blind men walk along the screen, one leading the other to an unknown destination. What makes the scene memorable is that the three blind men are really hit men.
The first contender is Diana Coupland.
The second contender is a no name trio comprising of Jac Jones on the flute, Amy Baldwin on bass, and Will Mount strumming the guitar.

On Saturday, I learned that Sean Connery passed away. He was my favorite James Bond and an extraordinarily talented actor. Rest in peace, 007. Your service to God and country is finally done. Blessings and prayers to the Connery family
ATTENTION BoTBers!! Please tell me in comments which day(s) of the month you’re playing? Alright, I mentioned you’re getting two punches of mewsic for the price of one. I’m gonna leave you with some great mewsic spinning on the ole 4M virtual turntable. The YT Dr. No soundtrack playlist. Hit play and then the dance floor. Have a boogietastic day!
