Music Monday – Black Magic Woman by Santana #musicmonday

Posted on November 30, 2020 by fundinmental

Santana was an ear opener for me and made me appreciate the depth of music so much more than I had used to…or maybe that was the Marijuana I was smoking. Santana was the first concert I ever went to and did partake of the joints that were being passed around. Someone would light it and it would be passed from person to person, row to row, until another one came around. I was quite the novice and could hardly walk out when it was over. LOL

Lyrics

Got a black magic woman
Got a black magic womanI got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can’t see
That she’s a black magic woman
She’s tryin’ to make a devil out of meDon’t turn your back on me baby
Don’t turn your back on me babyYes, don’t turn your back on me baby
Stop messin’ around with your tricks
Don’t turn your back on me baby
You just might pick up my magic sticksGot your spell on me baby
Got your spell on me babyYes you got your spell on me baby
Turning my heart into stone
I need you so bad magic woman
I can’t leave you alone

Music Monday – Do What You Can by Jon Bon Jovi #musicmonday

Posted on November 23, 2020 by fundinmental

Lyrics

Tonight they’re shutting down the borders
And they boarded up the schools
Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks
One last paycheck coming through
I know you’re feeling kind of nervous
We’re all a little bit confused
Nothing’s the same, this ain’t a game
We gotta make it throughAs we wave outside the window
Older loved ones stay inside
Moms and babies blowing kisses
May be saving someone’s life
They had to cancel graduation
It ain’t fair to Skype the prom
Our kids sit home in isolation
TV news is always onWhen you can’t do what you do
You do what you can
This ain’t my prayer, it’s just a thought
I’m wanting to send
‘Round here, we bend but don’t break
Down here, we all understand
When you can’t do what you do
You do what you canThe chicken farm from Arkansas
Bought workers PPE
Not before 500 more
Had succumbed to this disease
Honest men and honest women
Working for an honest wage
I got a hundred point one fever
And we still got bills to payWhen you can’t do what you do
You do what you can
This ain’t my prayer, it’s just a thought
I’m wanting to send
‘Round here, we bend but don’t break
Down here, we all understand
When you can’t do what you do
You do what you canThey built a hospital on East Meadow
In Central Park last night
Doctors, nurses, truckers, grocery store
Clerks manning the front lines
I saw a Red Cross on the Hudson
They turned off the Broadway lights
Another ambulance screams by (screams by)
If by the grace of God, go IAlthough I’ll keep my social distance
What this world needs is a hug
Until we find the vaccination
There’s no substitute for love
So love yourself and love your family
Love your neighbor and your friend
Ain’t it time we loved the stranger
They’re just a friend you ain’t met yet
OhWhen you can’t do what you do
You do what you can (do what you can)
This ain’t my prayer, it’s just a thought
I’m wanting to send
‘Round here, we bend but don’t break
Down here, we all understand
When you can’t do what you do
You do what you can
When you can’t do what you do
You do what you can

Music Monday – You Can Sleep While I Drive by Melissa Etheridge #musicmonday

Posted on November 16, 2020 by fundinmental

I love this song and I used to belt it out at The Bayhouse Pub in Daphne, Alabama. My sister and I would get up and sing Karaoke, laughing and dancing all around the place. I love road trips and after I hooked up with Mr Wonderful, I was able to sleep while he drove. LOL

I was very fortunate to be able to see her live and go backstage for an autograph and photos. Hmmmm…I wonder where the photos are now. Have to ask Mr Wonderful, seeing he is the master of our digital archive.

Lyrics

Come on baby let’s get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
There’s a chill in my bones
I don’t want to be left alone
So baby you can sleep while I drive
I’ll pack my bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket I’ll carry my harp
I got some money I saved
Enough to get underway
And baby you can sleep while I driveWe’ll go thorough Tucson up to Santa Fe
And Barbara in Nashville says we’re welcome to stay
I’ll buy you glasses in Texas a hat from New Orleans
And in the morning you can tell me your dreamsYou know I’ve seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes
You’ve been looking for something
That’s not in your life
My intentions are true
Won’t you take me with you
And baby you can sleep while I driveOh is it other arms you want to
Hold you the stranger
The lover you’re free
Can’t you get that with meCome on baby let’s get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
If you won’t take me with you
I’ll go before night is through
And baby you can sleep while I drive

Tackling The TBR – 6.14 – 6.20.20

Posted on June 21, 2020 by fundinmental

I got the idea and the motivation to start doing this post from All The Book Blog Names Are Taken. It has helped me to keep track of my reading shelf as far as current events and I also started doing a post for Books From The Backlog to tidy up my shelf. I feel better about my out of control TBR and have even knocked off a couple of those old ones that had been hanging around for years. COME ON….JOIN IN.

Previous TBR Total: 2483

Currently Reading: 6

Some of these may look familiar and that’s because I had a 2 month free Kindle Unlimited and read and read and read those. This is the last week and then I will start knocking some of these off my list.

Books Added to TBR:

I have added some for giveaways, but they will be deleted, so I only count them for the totals and books removed when I remove them. You won’t see them here.

I could not resist the cover for this romantic comedy.

Rap is hit and miss with me, but Yeah by Usher had me bobbing my head to this 2004 US billboard chart #1 hit.

Usher Raymond IV is an American singer, songwriter, actor and dancer. He was born in Dallas, Texas, but raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee until moving to Atlanta, Georgia. At the age of 12, his mother put him in local singing competitions, before catching the attention of a music A&R from LaFace Records Born: October 14, 1978 (age 41 years), Dallas, Texas.

Posted on April 2, 2019 by fundinmental

Welcome to my end of the month wrap up for March. It’s a little light because I am still having trouble with my arm. I think this will be going on for a while, but I hope to catch up on reviews due and back off bringing any more in, except for authors I have previously reviewed. The reviews will end up being shorter than normal, but it can’t be helped.
