Due to the filled weekends and evenings after work of the past weeks, I am not able to catch up with my own schedule. Either I have been busy renovating the house, preparing for another upcoming move, I was simply off or preparing family events. This threw me completely off my usual posting habits. That’s why I need to take this week off from the regular posts… BUT… I have had the idea for a new song series.
I thought it would be fun dedicating weeks to songs of one particular year. I don’t know yet how this is going to develop. I may not go on year by year but pick years randomly and maybe not consecutively week by week. Also, I won’t be adding the lyrics because it shall simply be a walk down memory lane. So, since I am having problems finding time for posting excessively these days (lol), I will start right away and with my year of birth. Hope you enjoy!
In The Summertime – Mungo Jerry
Feel free to add or mention in the comments your favorite song of 1970 and the memory that connects you with it.
In Love and Light

That’s exactly how I think about that song! I had no idea it was released in 1970. I start to like my series more and more… lol!

Oh yes, this meets the needs. 🙂 Thank you so much, Erika. It seems we should found a internatioinal renovation team. Last weeks i noticed Teagan’s (teagansbooks.com) painting addiction, and now you too. 😉 Dont worry, i should do too, but its not compatible with my workflow. Not yet! Lol Best wishes, Michael

I totally understand you. Actually we wanted new floors in 4 rooms. Since it is a good opportunitie we painted ceilings and walls of those rooms too and (in order to save money) we removed the old floors by ourselves (which was a pain in the 🍑) It took us two weekends plus some evenings…. and in between I was off to family events in Vienna or elsewhere… no weekends for writing since Easter.
But now we are finally done and… that means I can start moving… lol! But at least the silverlining is in sight 😅

Great song in its day and, by the way, my son and daughter were born in in 1968 and 1971 respectively. 🙂

So, we could have played in the sandbox together. The songs of those years will definitely have special memories regarding your young family back then.

lovely idea – this takes me back to boy scout camp in Dorset and a long hike and a horsefly bite. It was sung in the van on the way to camp. Maybe you might add a sentence of what memory the song conjures and then your correspondents will join in!

That is a good idea… the problem is, I have barely memories of 1970… lol! I know the song but to me it appears as if it was simply always there. But I will do that once my memory kicks at later years. Thank you for the input, Geoff!
