Ahh it’s definitely a long kinda cold in many parts. I have to be thankful for this finicky hot and cold weather. I need the warmth.
Thanks for the dance.
Aloha.
Love all your song choices, many were introductions to me that I enjoyed very much! 🙂 Here’s hoping spring arrives soon – music sure helps chase away the winter blues, doesn’t it? 🙂 Thanks for the dance!
I’m glad you enjoyed the tunes, Stacy. 🙂 Winter is being stubborn this year. Come on, spring! Thanks for coming by.
Music helps anything and everything! Thanks for sharing.
I feel we’re going to see spring soon in my neck of the woods. 🙂
Yes, music is the best elixir! 🙂 Glad you’ll be getting spring, soon. I wish that were the case here. Doesn’t sound promising, but they’re often wrong. Thanks for coming by!
Well, you truly went all out didn’t you? Fantastic choices and many has been an introduction to me. Totally awesome and thanks for the dance! Hugs and have a great day! The oh winter tune is so new to me, but just layin’ down on the couch with that one made me snap my fingers & hum along. Long cold winter had an awesome riff in there by the guitar my husband enjoyed this tune & to me the singer almost sounded like Prince (God rest his soul). I must say I never heard the Rolling Stones tune. Muddy Waters I don’t think I ever heard that tune before and with my name being Moody naturally I love the next song by the Moody Blues…. hehehe~ I’m not really into Black Sabbath, but Simon & Garfunkel’s winter tune it’s a big yes… I have heard this tune before. ~hehehe~ So all in all a great run down of winter tunes. Thanks for joining us.
Hi Marie; I’m glad you (and your hubby) enjoyed the tunes. Tom Keefer, the lead singer for Cinderella, does have an interesting voice. Good thing it’s still working – he’s had major vocal chord surgery! 😮 That Rolling Stones song likely isn’t familiar to most people. An obscure album track. 🙂 And who doesn’t love S & G? 😀 Thanks for hosting this musical blogfest and for coming by to share your thoughts. Cheers!
I have not heard that Moody Blues song in forever!
Probably since the last time I posted it. 😉 Thanks for coming by. Stay warm!
Debbie,
You’re in Canada I expect it to be nasty there. Here we’re having decent weather almost spring-like and I told DH that the temperature will probably drop when March gets here. Sure enough, our forecast is predicting just that. A final blast by old man winter, no doubt. We might even get some snow flurries. I doubt anything will become of it, cross fingers, but you just never know. I’m so happy you decided to chase away those winter blues on the dance floor, but you’re making awfully chilly with these song titles. lol Incidentally nearly all of these are introductions but that’s not going to surprise you now is it. 😀 That being said, I enjoyed listening to your song picks! Have boogietastic week, my dear!
Hi Cathy; We’re in the southern part of Canada and it’s not nearly as bad as further north. But, like everywhere else, winter has been more severe than usual, here. I read that your area has had a lot of rain and flooding. Hope you’re not affected too badly by that! 😮 I figured these songs wouldn’t really be your “cup of tea” but maybe The Moody Blues one? 🙂 Wishing you a good week as well. Thanks for coming by!
Winter is not my favorite season, but the songs you picked are fun!
Winter is probably the least-favourite season for most people, except those who do winter sports. Glad you enjoyed the tunes. 🙂 Thanks for coming by!
Nice setlist! I know I’m growing tired of the snow as well. I think the last time I experienced a winter such as this – the never ending snow, I took a vacation. Spent almost 3 weeks in Hawaii during the month of March. When I returned home the snow had mostly melted, but it was much easier to deal with. Let’s hope this weather eases up soon!
I’m glad you enjoyed the tunes, Mary. 🙂 Three weeks in Hawaii sounds wonderful! If only! This winter sure has been a bitch, so far.
Love the music Debbie. I like Moody Blues best, but you have some great songs here. Sorry about the weather, it has been hitting many pretty hard this year. Sometimes all you can do is sit down with good book and put on that music and enjoy.
here is Colorado we have been lucky other than the mountains have been hit hard. Good for skiing,but we may pay for it when it start melting.
Stay warm,
Debbie
Hi Debbie! 🙂 There are so many of us around. Glad you enjoyed the music. Colorado must be a beautiful state. We’re in the middle of yet another snowstorm here – worst winter in over 20 years! 🙁 Come on Spring! Thanks so much for visiting. 🙂
Hi Debbie,
My friend stays in Toronto, they are saying that it is really very unpredictible weather. Hope Toronto people get some relief…. And yes it is nice way to get reliefed… Music 🙂
It sure is, Nikita! We’re in the middle of yet another snowstorm here. Sigh….. Thanks for visiting. 🙂
We would love some winter here.. it’s been too hot for far too long 🙁
“The grass is always greener on the other side”. LOL We’re in the middle of a major snowstorm again and we’re mighty sick of it. 🙁 Anyway, thanks so much for visiting and stay cool. 😉
Great selections about winter! Sorry it has taken me a while to get back here. Worked several doubles this week and had lots to take care of. See you again Monday 🙂
Hi Kim; I’m late getting back to you as well, but, it’s all good! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the songs and thanks for visiting!
We’ve set records here in Austin.
Here too Becca. After a couple of spring like days, we’re supposed be hammered by a blizzard tonight! 🙁 Thanks for visiting and have a good week.
How I Wish I Could Play in The Snow. Beautiful Music Collection For.Monday…I Should Have Dropped In Earlier. My MonDay Wouldnt Have Been So Blue.
Snow is only fun when you don’t have to deal with it constantly, for many months. Thanks for visiting Rajlakshmi and hope the rest of the week is less blue for you. 🙂
Got a mess of rockin’ here for sure! Love the blues. My favorite genre to jam too! Thanks for picking some heavy duty ones here & thanks for stopping by!
Hi David; Glad you enjoyed my selection. 🙂 Thanks for visiting.
Hi Debbie! For starters I’m genuinely and so terribly sorry for how badly you’ve been blasted this winter. I’ve gained several bloggers friends in Canada and the upper Eastern US and it’s been just terrible for everyone. Great selection of music and I would pick Simon and Garfunkel as my favorite in the group. Reminds me of the road trips my dad and I took when I was a kid 🙂
Hi Mike; It sure has been an awful winter! 🙁 Glad you liked the tunes and that the S&G one
brought back some pleasant memories. Music is great that way. Thanks for visiting! 🙂
What a super idea – songs relating to winter. I quite fancy trying all year round weather based songs sometime. It’d make a great game if you were ever snowed in – but Scotland hasn’t seen any snow this winter.
Winter’s Tale is sung beautifully by Justin Hayward. It’s a pity David Essex gets more acclaim for it.
Great idea, Helena! I know some great summer songs, too. 🙂 Lucky you – no snow, but I understand it’s been raining a lot, which isn’t wonderful either. I like both versions of the song, but Justin holds a special place in my heart. David’s version is also good. Thanks for visiting!

It is cold indeedy!
I hope you get some sunshine soon!
Thanks for rocking with these music hits!
Have a blessed week!
Glad you enjoyed them and thanks for visiting! 🙂
Awesome Debbie, thanks for the songs! Winter has been horrid hear as well. I didn’t think I’d ever say, “Bring on summer!”
Hi Bren; I know – it’s been bad all over! 🙁 Spring is going to suck too, with all that mud from the tonnes of melted snow. Yuck! Music always cheers me up and I’m glad you enjoyed the tunes as well. Thanks for visiting. 🙂
You really outdid yourself on this one Debbie! I love each of these songs! I’m listening to Black Sabbath right now. It reminds me of my uncle. When he was about 16 or 17 jamming out to this in his room. I would be hanging outside his door and wondering what the funny smell was coming from his room ;).
Lovin’ this post girlfriend!
Hi Corina; Glad you liked my selections. The story about your uncle made me smile. 😀 Music is great for bringing back memories, isn’t it? Thanks for visiting.
Wow, what a great mixture of ROCK & ROLL! Moody Blues well naturally is a favorite of ours being as our last name is Moody ~snicker~. Love your blues song haven’t heard anything like that in a while. Black Sabbath, man girl you so ROCK! Gee, you look like you live next door to me. Our front yard & backyard looks exactly like that. Our black lab hates going out there. I think I’m going to have to get her some boots the big baby. Stay warm & thanks for joining us.
Hi Marie and thanks for visiting. Sick of winter yet? LOL I love Black Sabbath! Going to see them for the second time in 8 months on April 11. They put on a fantastic show! 😀 Your poor Labby must get cold feet. Black Labs are gorgeous – love them too! ♥
we have had a rough winter here in cleveland as well.get set of tunes.I donot believe I have ever heard a winters tale by the moody blues before.thanks for sharing it.
Hi Mike; I know, winter has been bad all over. 🙁 Glad you enjoyed the tunes. The Moody Blues one was originally recorded by David Essex. This is a rare cover version.
Another cold one in ‘winter’peg too! but always the sun making it bearable – grateful for that =)
Lots of great choices for a Wintry Monday – HapPy Dancing!
Hi Sharon; We’ve been lucky with the sunshine too, this year. It’s usually much greyer in the winter. I actually lived in “Winterpeg” once, as a small child. Don’t remember it, but my mother told me how cold it was! Glad you enjoyed the tunes. 🙂
We finally got a snow day today, if you can call it that. It’s more like an ice day with a little bit of white stuff on streets and mud. It’s not nearly as pretty as your pictures, but I’m glad to have a day off work today. Perhaps I’ll find time to visit everyone!
Hi Joyce; Sounds like pretty unusual weather for your area! Mud is never pleasant either. Hope it clears up soon! Thanks for visiting and have a great rest of the week. 🙂
I like all your choices my fave was The Moody Blues
That snow looks horrific I hope it isn’t as bad a March as they predict for you 😉
Have a snowtastic week ahead and thanks for stopping by
I’m hoping they’re wrong too, Steve! It has been a horrible winter and it started early. Glad you liked my selections. Thanks for visiting and stay warm! 🙂
Thanks for sharing these, Debbie. I enjoyed listening to them as our not-cold-at-all winter turns into summer! 🙂
Ah not cold-at-all winter! I envy you that, Corinne. We are hoping for spring here, but doesn’t look very promising yet. Thanks for visiting and have a good week. 🙂
