Just Call Me Twilight

Happy Tuesday!  Today I am sharing with you an international group of music-makers.  Jack White is American; Ella Eyre is British; Kings of Convenience are from Norway; New Hollow hails from Ontario; and Biffy Clyro are a British rock band that formed in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire.  I love that each group/singer playing here have their own unique sound and style.  Influenced by their environmental surroundings?  Maybe, maybe not.  But unique they are.  Enjoy!  JCMT Jack White - "Would You Fight For My Love?" Ella Eyre - "If I Go" Kings of Convenience - "I'd Rather Dance With You" New Hollow - "She Ain't You" Biffy Clyro - "Bubbles"

From the title of this blog post, I suppose you think I will be writing about the cute, sweet things my girls did for me on this special-of-all-special days.  Well, that is partly true. As you can imagine, my girls did do a fair amount of notable things for me.  All were appreciated and will be retained for future ooohhing and aaahhhing reminisces.  Pictures were painted, cards assembled, a necklace made (complete with fingertip impression), and a precious coupon book with promises of services I have no intention of collecting.  Those were the cute things. Then there were the odd happenings of the day, starting very, very early.  Oldest Daughter chose to wake up at 2a, on purpose, to deliver a gift bag full of hand-made goodies to my bedroom door.  She wanted to ensure I would see the bag the minute I tripped over it as I exited the bedroom later on in the morning.  But, in the delivery...

Today is New Music Tuesday!!  Music posts are probably my favorite part of doing this blog.  I can research music all I want and it does not lead to any type of soul searching in order for me to share my findings with you.  It is quite time consuming as I prefer sampling groups and songs that are not found on mainstream radio, but the end results are so worth it!  You, the readers of this blog, have also suggested so many new groups (keep it up - I love the suggestions!!) that have then led me to other new and exciting groups.  I am bursting to start sharing with you part of my extensive list of fantastic music.  So, sit back and enjoy the euphonic stylings of today and I will be back with you later in the week with my next official ramble.  Cheers for now!!  JCMT (As always, you can click on the box to play the video, or the underlined name of the song/group is a link straight to t...

Guess who's back?  Wait - what? No. Guess again.  Yep, that's right.  Me!!  I have missed doing this blog post and communicating with y'all.  I have missed purposely tapping into this messed up brain of mine weekly.  I have missed sharing my innermost thoughts with you and receiving your feedback (even if your feedback is that my innermost thoughts are totally messed up).  I have heard from so many people over the past few months that they miss my ramblings and wish I would just get back to it already.  So, to feed a small part of my creative soul, I am resuming this blog.  Enjoy! _________________________________________________________________ Hello, my name is Twila and I have control issues.
