This week’s Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me theme is Honoring November Born Mewsicians. * Before I hit the dance floor I want to share with your the battle results of November 1st Kingston Calypso BoTB showdown.
Honestly, I didn’t know how this battle would go down but the majority of the voters preferred the No Name Trio (6 to 4) over Diana Coupland. So, the calypso/jazz threesome take the victory. Congrats to Jac Jones, Amy Baldwin, & Will Mount! Did you notice if you take the first letter in each of the mewsicians name it spells JAW? 😀 My mind is working strangely. Yep,that’s nothing new. I’m not going to be able to give you another sample of their mewsic, so instead I’m sharing with you another song from Dr. No. You may remember the movie scene where Honey Rider (Ursula Andress) is coming out of the sea singing this tune with James Bond (Sean Connery) looking on. Here’s Under The Mango Tree by the composer & singer, Monty Norman.
It’s interesting that my loser in this round recorded “Under The Mango Tree” for the Dr. No soundtrack. I’ll be back on the 16th with another BoTB, so mark your calendar. 😉
Moving onto the dance floor I’m going with the former Credence Clearwater Revival founder and guitarist, Tom Fogerty! To mark the anniversary of his birth, I found a YouTube collection of Tom’s best songs.
Tom passed away 30 years this past September 6th, official cause of death tuberculosis stemming from complications from a blood transfusion needed after back surgery tainted with HIV.
Speaking of November birthdays, DH’s oldest brother will celebrate his 71st next week. It truly seems like yesterday we were in our courting days and my BIL doing goofy things to make me laugh while capturing the two of us on film. The Kennedy boys have a great sense of humor!

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.

In closing, I wanted to send prayers to Alex Trebek’s family. The Jeopardy TV game host lost his fight with cancer yesterday. Oddly, the news arrived to my ears shortly after one of his commercials aired and I thought in that instance, “I wonder how Alex is doing?”. That’s when DH told me he got a text alert with the sad mews of his departure. May you rest on that beautiful shore where you’ll never grow old or know no pain or heartache, Mr. Trebek!
Thanks for making me apart of your day. That’s a wrap for now, until next we met, have a boogietastic week! X💋X💋, Cathy
