You’re the best!
Welcome to Monday’s Music Moves Me on Sundays! When I decided on my themes months ago, it sounded like a good idea but I never imagine how hard it would be until I began looking for songs and so I apologize to you if you struggled with this one, too. The theme this week is in honor of National Compliment Day. Pick songs that offer a nice compliment to your readers or dance partners. The first song to start of my playlist truly is fitting for you, my friend. You’re the Best!
January’s honorary co-hostess happens to me little ole me. This being said, the 4M co-hostess Marie, Stacy, Alana, and I invite you to hit the dance floor. 😘
This is a music linky party. 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.
Our Marie isn’t feeling well. Last week, I learned she had been in the hospital. She has pneumonia and a UTI but thankfully not Covid. I’ll keep you posted on any developments. Kindly keep her prayer, if you would.
This is CAAC signing off, please join me next time for Tickle Me Tuesdays. Have a boogietastic week! X💋X💋, Cathy

Marie,
I’m soooo happy and relieved to hear from you. I’m glad you’re doing some better. Don’t worry about sleeping all the time. That’s precisely what your body needs to get well. So, chillax and eat your chicken noodle soup. 🙂 Sending positive vibes, prayer, and other good feelings your way, my dear!

John Holton
Good for you for finding as many songs as you did. I finally had to change the assignment to get something unique…
Cathy Kennedy
John,
No worries on doing your own thing with this prompt or any for that matter. To me, it’s more important to have music to share, so feel free to step off track any time it doesn’t work for you. I like to think the prompts are more or less a guide for those who need them or looking for a challenge. Thanks for joining the party, my friend!

The “Snowcat” is indeed Aww…some! Listening to Joe Cocker brought back a flood of memories. Thanks for a great start to the day.
Cathy Kennedy
Joe Cocker was an amazing singer. I loved his vocal style! Too bad we don’t have more musicians like this today.

That cat on the snowman head is so funny! Love that last quote too. Perfect to start a Monday.
Cathy Kennedy

You are special and i am so glad i found your blog.
That kitty has found himself a new friend.
Cathy Kennedy
Mimi,
These two seem like unlikely friends but the kitty has really warmed up to the snowman. Oops…I think the snowman might be in trouble.
Brian
That was a good playlist and I totally love that snowcat!
Cathy Kennedy
Brian.
That snow kitty is funny. 🙂 Do you like playing in the snow?
Birgit
Great song choices here and thank you! I will say “A Beautiful Girl is like a Melody” for you! I actually didn’t mind that One Er…oops…Direction song. I always like the Joe Cocker song and remember John Belushi doing a spot on imitation of Cocker. I am glad Marie is getting the help and she is in my thoughts. I love that pussy cat!
Cathy Kennedy
Birgit,
You’re the second person to mention John Belushi’s Joe Cocker’s impersonation skit from SNL. I’ve never been one for late night TV as I used to fall asleep before 11pm once upon a time. I found it on YT. John Belushi was a talented young man. Too bad drug addiction took his life too soon. Thanks for remembering Marie. She’s doing better but not a 100% yet.
Sandee
Love your Awww Mondays contribution. That cat love his/her snowman. Adorable.
Great take on the theme this week. Mine will post at 11:59 tonight. I had a bit different take on mine. I hope I stuck with the theme okay. I’m new at this.
Thank you for hosting the fun.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Love hugs. ♥
Cathy Kennedy
Sandee,
I’m glad you joined the dance party, my friend. It’s okay by me if you went a different direction with the prompt. The themes are pretty much a guideline for those who want them but I’m happy just to have the music.
Eugenia
What a great selection of songs, Cathy! I will keep Marie in my prayers. ❤️
Cathy Kennedy
Eugenia,
I sure do appreciate you keeping Marie in prayer. I can only imagine how bad she’s felt. Many years ago I remember having a horrible bout with what I thought was allergies but it turned into an upper respiratory thing and got into my head big time. I was totally wiped out and completely useless as a mommy. The good news is I haven’t been sick with anything like that in decades. knock on wood Thanks for swinging by to boogie with me, darlin’!

That is a sweet theme. I will put my thinking cap on. Nice choices. Thanks for hosting. I will add a link tomorrow. XO
Cathy Kennedy
Ellen,
I see that you did get back over to join the party. Excellent, my friend! Thanks for dancing with me. 😉
Alana Mautone (@RamblinGarden)
A great playlist overall. Some songs here I had forgotten (including the one from One Direction) and one new one that may become an earworm (Beautiful Smile). Compliments to you also, Cathy, and I’m keeping Marie in my thoughts.
Cathy Kennedy
Alana,
I’m glad to keep everyone in the loop on our Marie. Poor thing has been through so much! The good news is in case you missed it, Marie stopped by yesterday reporting that she’s doing better. So, I’m relieved to learn about her progress. Thanks for joining me on the dance floor, my dear. Have a good week!

Hi, Cathy!
Happy Pawww-some 4M Monday on Sunday, dear friend! I hope you and DH are having a nice weekend and staying warm.
Awww, I wanna smooch that white kitty! I’ve heard of a coonskin cap, but that snowman found head wear that’s even warmer in winter.
I enjoyed listening to your set of compliment songs. I especially liked the catchy, melodic song and mewsic video by One Direction, the English-Irish pop boy band of the early and mid 2010s that were part of a new British Invasion of America. I read that One Direction was active areas in philanthropy that included benefits for children and research into autism and cancer. I also especially like the mix of male and female vocals, the funk, jazz and soul influences and the brassy horn section on Lady A’s Nashville country song “You Look Good.” That’s a great song that crosses over genres! New York artist Alex Goot also has a great sound on his 2011 single “Pretty Eyes.” Joe Cocker’s “You Are So Beautiful” was a biggie, and it always reminds me of John Belushi imitating Cocker on SNL.
Yessum, I will keep friend Marie in my prayers and sending hope for her speedy recovery from her illness.
Once again, you introduced me to a bunch of songs that I instantly like and welcome as ear worms. Enjoy your Sunday and the week ahead and I’ll see you on TMT day, dear friend Cathy!
Cathy Kennedy
Tom,
I didn’t find time to do any delving into this week’s artists/songs. I appreciated knowing One Direction’s commendable for children’s well-being and protection, the most innocent of all humans. It’s a shame anyone can mistreat a little one and it somehow seems a thousand times worse when a child gets sick. I don’t think I’ve seen John Belushi imitating Joe Cocker before. Let me hop over to YouTube to check this out. BRB!
Okay, I’m back. I found Belushi’s skit performing “I Need A Little Help From My Friends which is funny but quite good. I’m going to share it below for anyone who hasn’t seen it.
Thanks for the visit, my friend!
