Throw Back Thursday *I’m late, you should see my laptop*

I started at 8:30pm deciding on video’s. After years of enjoyment, YouTube and VeVo are enforcing copyright laws. Somebody has an answer, please leave a comment or email msandorm@verizon.net. The Shania Twain video is an example, of the the copyright screen. I stopped at 1:00am, way past bedtime. I’m praying for progress today. Here’s a snack while I work on desert.

Throw Back Thursday *Don’t let time pass you by*

I was thinking about tunes to play, Prince came to mind. He’s Mystical, very erotic with dancers and fans enjoy every minute. Prince supported multiple charities, one supported kids education. He heard the library was closing due to lack of funds. The next day, the library doors opened.

I celebrate the life of Prince and pray the family comes together with hearts of love.

Throw Back Thursday *Country? Rock? Country Rock?

Howdy friends,

Thinking about Country Music today, the line between Country and Rock are not always visible. Brad Paisley and many others sound like Rock with riff’s  and jamming guitar solos. The video surprised me, did I wake up in tunesville?  The Country artist are everywhere except in Country music. I hope you enjoy the music. Next week we’re Rocking, flames shooting from the sky. Maybe Big Hair band or you can leave a request 24 hours a day.  Xx  M

I’m blessed even when it sounds differently. Thank you for bringing sunshine with your comments.               RIP Merle Haggard.    Xx  M

Throw Back Thursday * Shelton…We’re having a Party*

guitar-player-on-grunge-background_M16SwA8d-2

I’m the Country Star in my head tonight, not my usual choice of music yet some I can’t get enough of. It’s a triple shot of Blake Shelton. I picked fun, blow the roof off the house music this week. Blake is one of my favorite current day singers, oh I meant drinkers. His blue eyes and big smile shows me he loves  the job. He’s like 6’6…….oh back on track.

I have surgery to implant the Port to start me IV Therapy on Tuesday. When I’m scared or nervous it’s usually chocolate, cookies, cookies. Instead of chocolate, I went for Blake, He always makes me feel good. He’s down home country boy, I picture him on a john boat fishing on his land.

If you don’t like the words, no problem, no country for your taste, that’s ok. This weekend is have fun letting the bobby pins out. I’ll be thinking of you and what I’m missing out on. I’ll catch up when I get back.   XO M

Throw Back Thursday *Blues Throw Down*

heart-on-sand_7JOac-

It’s a Blues inspired week for our selection. I don’t know much about the blues, I know what gets my attention. The problem is finding quality sound. This week it’s a bingo number swirling around, we’ll see where it goes.

If you could leave what URL you found me at I would appreciate it. I have time to solve my issues before WordPress comes back from big corporate meeting. Help me out.
