The Garden Party

Music thread

It's been a while since I posted some music. This past weekend was great with sunshine and temps in the 60's. We had thunderstorms last night and today is overcast and blase.

The endorphins from the weekend activities wane on Monday. This, along with the grey skies, puts me in a mood. Need some music to relax and recharge the soul with.

A little Pat Metheny should do the trick. This song is "It's For You."

And Last Train Home, KJ might like this one....

Oh, my goodness, MICHAEL!
---How I LOVE Pat Metheny!!!
The last part of, 'It's for You' also reminded me of "Letter From Home'---(one of my FAVORITES!) It was so nice just hear his music again---such a treat.
Last Train Home---perfect!---and what's more, that train looked like #844, my most favorite steam engine in the world! For REAL!
If anybody loves old trains, click on YOUTUBE for History Channel Train Races Heliocopter---16 or 18 minutes of unrelenting FUN! Sometimes the 'copter is doing about 70 at 20' AGL! The pilot is a rock star!
Michael, I just feel so YOUNG right now--so energized!
Thank you!

Got it wrong---,it was 'Have You Heard?' that 'It's for You' reminded me of.
'Letter From Home' is more moody--slower..and it was used as the title song.

Boy that sounds like a nice time! There is a resort near me that has a Jazz Festival on Labor Day weekend, I was only able to go one time but it was a wonderful time with good music (lots of local Jazz Artist) and good food. I like 38 Special, don't listen to music near as much now as I use to..........

Liljen and Sewwhatsnew - Thanks, the color is BM Shelburne Buff. I'm really happy with it. Caroline - Thanks! They always have to be in my pictures. Sewwhatsnew - I remember your room now. I didn't see the photo. I'll do a search and see what comes up. At one point I considered wood blinds but they'd be a nightmare to dust. The panels are only stationary. I didn't want to have to always be messing with the curtains. We don't have any houses out front but if I needed the privacy I'd add lined woven romans. I may still add them sometime in the future.

Thanks to everyone who can create such thoughtful and fun threads from me as well.. I don't always find my smile until I read the smile thread. I definitely don't always see the beauty until I see the show mine show yours thread. I also enjoy the reading threads and Jim's phrase of the day. Also Including floof a la Amy and others. I learn a lot here and much enjoy each contribution.

Oh, I wish I was your mother I wish I'd been your father And then I would have seen you Would have been you as a child Played houses with your sisters And wrestled with all your brothers And then who knows I might have felt a family for a while and here's a version with full lyrics. I love this Mott the Hoople song.
