The Heat is On – Curious as a Cathy https://curiousasacathy.com Enjoying life through music, doodles, & pix Tue, 12 Nov 2024 17:20:12 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 65600115 Today is canceled! https://curiousasacathy.com/today-is-canceled/ https://curiousasacathy.com/today-is-canceled/#comments Tue, 05 Mar 2019 11:00:03 +0000 https://curiousasacathy.com/?p=35953 Continue reading Today is canceled!]]>


While today might not be canceled for some, I believe it’s gonna have to be for me.  You see, I made the decision a week ago to take part in the 10th April A to Z Challenge (meme button, right sidebar at the top).  I haven’t been doing it that long but a good number of those years. 

Some folks like the task of doing daily posts, me not so much. It’s an overload to my system, so in order to keep my sanity and on track (sorta) I prefer to get everything possible done in advance.  

You can check back later in the month for my A2Z Theme Reveal post but I am continuing with my art sketch series.  This year I’m taking a more focused approach but I don’t want to let the Cathy out of the bag just yet. Are you curious?  Set yourself a reminder to join me on the 18th to learn more!

I’ll be back on Friday to announce last week’s BoTB winner.  What’s that you didn’t vote yet? You still have time to give your opinion but hurry the deadline is Thursday at noon (EST). Have funtastic day!

No doubt Heartache Tonight kinda night for fans around the world after hearing the news.

 

Frey co-wrote Heartache Tonight with Don Henley, Bob Seger, and J.D. Souther; the song released in the same year I got married 1979 and hit the Billboard 100 Hot hits at #1 in November of that year.

The 70s was a good decade for The Eagles and Glenn Frey. Lyin’ Eyes, Frey’s #2 hit reminds me of a cheatin’, no-good, two-timing scoundrel who I once called my boyfriend. What can I say I was young and stupid, mostly too young to see it coming.

Bad things have a way of turning into good things. Before long I got a Peaceful Easy Feeling after meeting DH, my True Love.

 

In our early years of marriage, Frey’s hit songs popped up in movies and TV shows that repeatedly played on radio stations everywhere.

This song was a stand-alone sensation at #2 on the charts. You might know it best from Beverly Hills Cop, though. Let’s flashback to 1984 with The Heat is On.

 

Do you remember Frey appearing on the first episode of Miami Vice? That show had the same name as his Billboard Hot 100 hit, Smuggler’s Blues. No question most of us remember that tune, if not all of us, but my favorite song from the TV series soundtrack charted #2 on the 1985 Billboard Hot 100 list. Can you guess what it is? If you said, You Belong to the City, then you’re right!

The world has lost a few exceptional music talents this month and the year is still young. I reckon we’ll see more departures before it ends, but the good thing is we live in an age where audio (and video) files are carefully preserved for future enjoyment. Instead of saying goodbye, I am going to say, I’ll catch ya on the flip-side, Mr. Frey!

What is your favorite Glenn Frey song?

I’m keeping this party going. Who wants to join me? Get your ticket now cause I’m fixing to board the Love Train where the celebration begins with the Monday’s Music Moves Me crew!
