How are you doing today? Friday was very spring like, short sleeve weather. I began to doubt our over night forecast, but I know how volatile the weather is this time of the year and then I was remembered how the Blizzard of ’93 came in following beautiful sunny, warm temperatures. The weather man did miss his prediction. Instead of the 3 inches forecasted, we got at least 8 inches. Our power went off during the night but thankfully it was restored before we had get up. It was a frigid, windy Saturday. Old Man Winter had to strike one last time just to prove that he’s not done yet.
Thanks for making the Sunday Edition of Monday’s Music Moves Me a part of your day!
The theme this week is whatever music moves you. I’m turning to my music folder stash to use some gems I’ve been saving for the right chance to spin them on my virtual turntable for ya. While sampling tunes on YouTube today’s artist came up as a recommendation, The Heavy Horses. Have you heard of the band? It turns out THH is a pseudonym for singer/songwriter Justin Mahoney to hide behind. He writes and records songs about angels, outlaws, and murder. His 2012 debut album, Murder Ballads & Other Love Songs I’m sharing today was nominated for the Country Recording of the Year at the 2013 East Coast Music Awards and Folk Artist of the Year at the 2013 Music NL Awards. I found myself rather drawn to Justin’s music style and I hope you enjoy it, too. Click play, let the tunes fly in the background while you do other things.
If you liked what you heard with this playlist, then you may also enjoy his 2019 album, With Darkness in my Eyes. This isn’t the kind of music I listen to but it has a certain feel that grabs me. It definitely makes me think of the untamed, wild west. It’s kind of fun to get drawn into Justin’s music, which magically transforms me the dusty rugged streets of Tombstone. I can pretend I’m the angel trying to save a desperado like in an old movie. I always wanted to be a starlet. 🤩
Just in case you missed the hundreds of text alerts and other random announcements, it’s official, we’re now back on Daylight Savings Time.
This is a music linky party. Your co-hostess are Marie, Stacy, Alana, and Me. Every other week we have a suggested music theme (see weekly prompts here) to build your song set around and all participants share YouTube or Vimeo videos for our music enthusiasts. Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.
THE PARTY BEGINS HERE!
For any reason the linky code does’t display properly, please leave your 4M direct link in comments. Last week I experienced a temporary issue with it not working right and felt I needed to mention this should it happen again.
Marie wasn’t well again last week. That’s why you didn’t see her. I checked in with her yesterday and learned that the doctor is treating for possible Covid. She’s not under the weather and can use all of our prayers. I’ll let you know as I learn more about our girl!
I’ll be back with a new edition of Tickle Me Tuesday, but whatever follows next is undetermined. Regardless, you can count on one thing for sure and that’s the return of the Sunday edition of Monday’s Music Moves Me throughout this madness I’ve put myself in. This is CAAC signing off, have a boogietastic week! X💋X💋, Cathy
