Musical Monday # 150

I was introduced to Musical Monday by Delores who copied the meme from another site.

I think it’s a fun way to show off some of the music we like and brighten up our Mondays at the same time. 

I’ll be finding my clips on you tube, so will simply credit that site since there are often so many versions of everything and I wouldn’t want to accidentally credit the wrong artist.

Today’s clip is:  Roy Orbison

Blue Bayou

    I think Elvis does that also, Roy does it better...I think he wrote it also.

      only slightly confused; yes he does. Mellow is one of my favourite words.

    I believe Joe is right that Roy Orbison wrote this song, at any rate he sang it well.

      The "Big O"...how wonderful he was! Beautiful voice...beautiful song.

      The song definitely was written by Roy Orbison along with Joe Melson. It was a big hit for Orbison when he released it in 1963.

      Wonderful! Wonderful!

      Happy Monday, River...thanks for the music. :)

    Linda Ronstadt did a gorgeous version of this but I love Orbison's, too. I remember reading an article about him in which the writer compared his singing to an opera singer's. Both he and Ronstadt certainly had the range.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
