Welcome to Monday’s Music Moves Me. This week’s theme is Memorial Day. I thought of a few different approaches. You can pick songs in general remembering those who died while serving or with a specific person in mind. Another way is to pick songs that make you think of your fallen hero or even songs he/she enjoyed in his/her time.
I am blessed to have close family who served and returned home after their tour of duty. I am taking a different approach with my song picks. I am honoring the memory of my grandpa, father-in-law, and that entire generation who gave up so much to serve our country during World War II. My loved ones came home but many did not. Music gave our servicemen and women a break from reality and during those days the perfect distraction for our heroes were America’s Wartime Sweethearts, The Andrew Sisters!
The greatest generation of our time spent hours listening to Big Bands from the era, swinging with the King of Swing, Benny Goodman and his orchestra on the dance floor.
Big Band music is a timeless treasure. I’d love to see a comeback of this music style, wouldn’t you?
This is a music link up. Hence, your post must contain music (at least one song) or your URL is marked “No Music”. The party co-hostess are now featured in my right side bar underneath the 4M banner. The guidelines are simple. Every other week, a suggested (not mandatory) theme is given to build your song picks. YouTube and other music sites have options to create and embed playlists or individual songs into your post. On the off weeks, we dance to whatever music moves you – your choice. Finally, to access the dance party, just add your music post below, and visit others on the floor. Let the party begin!
Starting in June, I’ll be move into my summer blogging routine. The 4M weekly is top on my list and to crank out monthly BOTB posts at the start of each month until after Labor Day. I’ll be back on Wednesday with part 2 of our Biltmore Estate Tour. This is CAAC signing off, have a blessed Memorial Day and a boogietastic week! X💋X💋, Cathy
