Weekly Song Challenge Week 43

         Are you ready for Halloween?  I'm not sure that I'll participate this year, but I haven't been doing Halloween at my house for several years now.   It will probably be another sour puss darkened house blocked doorway Halloween for me.   But in the community I'm not sure what folks will be doing about trick-or-treat.  Lots of decorations to be seen.  But on a Sunday night?   I'm sure someone will be looking for candy.

        And now for the last "Weekly Song Challenge" of 2021...

This ongoing Challenge comes from Mary at Jingle Jangle Jungle.   She provides the categories of the week.  Here's what we've got for this week:

October 27 - Week 43

A Song with a Boy’s Name in the Title

A Song with an Animal in the Title

A Song that mentions your Favorite Color

The Buoys "Timothy" (1971)

Here's a tune you might not have heard in a long time if ever. It's about cannibalism--or is it?

Murray McLauchlan "Horses On The Highway"   (1983)

      From Canada, McLauchlan is a favorite artist I discovered in the eighties--while I was working in Canada.

Bruce Cockburn   "Incandescent Blue"    (1979)

         Also from Canada and an artist I also found out about when I was working in Canada during the eighties, Bruce Cockburn is one of my top favorite singer/songwriters.  I like the color green a lot, but traditionally blue has been my favorite color since I was a kid.

     Do you know any of the songs I chose?   Which songs would you pick?

 

Weekly Song Challenge for Week 42

 Since I've done a lot of music posts on this blog I thought I'd join in on a music Challenge that's been going on for a while now.  Don't forget that you can still vote on my current Battle of the Bands as well...

      This ongoing Challenge comes from Mary at Jingle Jangle Jungle.   She provides the categories of the week.  Here's what we've got for this week:

October 20 - Week 42

A Song with a Girl’s Name in the Title

A Song with the word Under in the Title

A Song with Cry in the Title

And here are the songs I came up with coming from three artists that I enjoy...

    

Bruce Cockburn    "Peggy's Kitchen Wall"   (1984)

The Church   "Under the Milky Way"  (1988)

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young   "You Don't Have to Cry"  (1970)

               What are some choices you might have made?   Have you voted on my Battle of the Bands yet?
