Great Idea! Shall we all grow older, but not up? I will build the sand castle! :biggrin:

I had been thinking of this song for a long time. It was the theme of an entire year, one year, many, many years ago... and for some reason it came to mind...

And then it popped up on my social media, like magic! :biggrin: Gotta love it.

“These are a few of my Favorite things.” https://youtu.be/q7JEUetg8lE Instrumental and a bit jazzed up.

So, as I drift off to sleep to the silence of snow, with the tiniest snow flakes already accumulating to about three inches or 7.5 cm.:smile: I will dream of the winter wonderland we will awaken to. We are blessed to have a warm house. We are entertained by Ella, rolling in the snow and coming back in the house coated, looking something like a furry, grinning, abominable snow beast.

...these are a few of my favorite things...:smile:

^ I do enjoy your taste of music Anala.

Of favourites …. My favourite first cousins (ImthatIm mentioned in another thread) are ½ Romani/Kale/Gypsie people - whom I look forward visiting the most, once this international travel ban is over.

No longer living the traditional lifestyle, but still – there is this special umph to them.
If only they could sing in Spanish as well heh ….

Good Morning,

I just caught up on my listening. :smile:
.......
sentient, Wow! What a happy song! Everyone dancing! Beautiful! I could only open the middle one, but a great song to wake up to! :biggrin:
.......
Lucky 1, (Elevators) They could be besties with Jack Johnson and Jimmy Buffet. Such an easy going play list you have going. Lovely!
.......
Now, the challenge, what will New Years Sound like at your house? I am going to have to put my “thinking cap” on for this one. :biggrin:

Okay....I'm having one of those mornings......trying to finish up all the **** piling up at the office by 5pm today so I can take the next week off and run down the coast with my boys for a few days.

So I'm posting one song this morning that fit how I'm feeling about going to the office (and no...I don't hate my job! just want some time off!) and another one about how we are feeling about it being winter and gray skies...

First one .....The Boat Drunks......"Calling In Gone!"

A taste of Gypsy Spirit (‘energetic signature’).

They say the gypsy songs fall into 4 categories in a cycle (up North anyways).
The boasting (in the marketplace) songs.
Getting into a fight songs.
Ending up in jail songs.
The poor me songs.
And the cycle starts again.

It is good when one can do one’s ‘boasting’ on the dance floor and by singing:

Me thinks Spain perhaps is a good country for gypsies in Europe.
