 Weekly questions and blog hop brought to you by

Hilary at Feeling Beachie

This week’s co-host:  Pickles from Purrfectly Pickles

The premise is simple; just fill in the blanks.

This week’s statements:

1. I can really use ________ right now.
2. I like to ___ my _____
3. The color of the sky right now is ______
4. I get annoyed _____ because of ________

Answers:

1. I can really use a good night’s sleep right now.  Haven’t had one in years.

2. I like to take spontaneous road trips with my hubby.   It’s rare for me to have a weekend off, (I’m self-employed and he works Mon.-Fri.), so when one does come along, we get in the car and….

3. The colour of the sky right now is black, with stars.  It’s the wee hours of the morning here.

4. I get annoyed with utility companies because of  their expectation that you should wait around all day for them to show up.  Had an appointment last Saturday for a furnace inspection and they never came.  GRRRR!   On the rescheduled day, they arrived at the last possible moment.  GRRRR!

MORE CONFESSIONS OF AN AGEING ROCK CHICK

Bookmark and Share

hippierockchickIn the original post, I lamented speeding downhill towards 60 and wanting to make up for lost time.  My mission? To catch every favourite rock artist in concert, before they or I croaked.  In other words, a concert “Bucket List”.

Read it HERE.

When I left off, we had just obtained tickets for Neil Young with Crazy Horse in Nov. and The Who in Feb. Both of those experiences were absolutely incredible and I was in a state of euphoria for days! Even more amazing now, I’m finally getting my chance to see:

THE ROLLING STONES!!!

“Blues rock is a musical genre combining bluesy improvisations over the twelve bar blues and extended boogie jams with rock and roll styles.”

- from Wikipedia

Many artists perform in this genre and today, I would like to share some of my lesser known favourites:

MUSIC MONDAY; HEART

Bookmark and Share

Welcome to

Music Monday

This week’s feature is HEART.

Seattle sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson are the “Heart and Soul” of the band Heart, which has seen other members come and go over the years.  Ann’s powerhouse vocals and Nancy’s incredible guitar licks  make for a formidable combination.  They will be inducted into the

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 18.  

Long overdue, in my opinion!

MOURNING THE END OF AN ERA

Bookmark and Share

It’s true that everything comes to an end.  Sad when it’s something that has been part of your life for many years.

Hubby and I just got back from an overnight stay in Niagara Falls.  It’s less than an hour away and a frequent “go to” place for us, when seeking a little R & R.

MUSIC MONDAY; ERIC BURDON

Bookmark and Share

This is my inaugural post for the weekly “Music Monday” link up.  

Just perfect for a music fanatic like me! 
Today’s offering is about one of my all-time favourites; Eric Burdon, former lead singer of The Animals, (old and new), War and the Eric Burdon Band.   In my opinion he was and, most remarkably, still is at the age of 71, one of the best blues/rock singers in history.

WHAT IF…

sex in the backseat

She remained wildly attracted to him, but had to break it off.  Sex alone was no longer sufficient.  An in-depth conversation would be nice on occasion, or maybe go to a proper movie theatre, (not just the drive-in); anything to indicate he liked her as a person and not only for her physical attributes.

Although my day is only part-way through, several things have made me smile already:
