Saturday 9: Dancing in the Moonlight (1972)
1) The lyrics tell us the moon is big and bright. Do you often take the time to watch the sun set or look at the moon?
Yes. I like looking at sundown skies and the moon and stars at night.
2) The lead singer of King Harvest, Dave "Doc" Robinson, tells us that everyone feels "warm and right." How would you describe your mood as you answer these 9 questions?
Sleepy and cozy.
3) He sings that his friends don't bark or bite. What about you? Is your bark worse than your bite? It probably is for sure!
4) He believes you be unhappy when you dance. Do you agree?
I don't agree at all. Dancing makes you happy.
5) King Harvest was not the only name the band used. They once performed as E. Rodney Jones and the Prairie Dogs. If you ever played in a band, tell us what it was called. If you haven't, make up a band name.
The Starlight Ballroom Band
6) Even though this was a major hit, King Harvest's record label, Perception, went bankrupt in 1974. This decade has been hard on many businesses -- especially restaurants -- and many closed their doors due to covid. Tell us about a shop or restaurant that closed recently, and that you miss.
There are so many businesses that have closed forever, especially small businesses that it is a terrible shame. I can't name just one.
7) This very upbeat song came from pain. While vacationing in St. Croix, songwriter Sherman Kelly was the victim of vicious gang attack and was left for dead. He wrote this song during his long recuperation and it helped him envision joy. Is there a song that reliably lifts your mood? (Yes, you can say this song. Mr. Kelly is right, it IS joyful!)
Here is a drone video taken where I live.. The music is a joyful rendition of Bob Marley's 3 Little Birds..
8) In 1972, when this song topped the charts, Wrangler jeans were America's best-selling blue jeans. Do you often wear denim?
I sure do. I love it anytime of year. It's comfortable.
9) Random question: Which of these is completely, 100% UNTRUE of you: Greedy, lazy, or jealous?
Jealous. Just never applies.
Grinning...I sure enjoy your answers, Annie. Have a beautiful day friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous place to live. I grew up on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, and sometimes I do miss the smell of salt air. I also really like your header design--very cool.
ReplyDelete#8 What I am wearing right now is a pair of jeans and a denim jacket.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad the businesses that have closed down. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.

You are blessed to live in a beautiful area. That would make me do a happy dance for sure!
ReplyDeleteYou live in such a gorgeous part of the country! You have helped us to appreciate a place I never really knew about before! I can imagine you were a wonderful dancer. I never really had a lot of good rhythm...kind of awkward because I was left handed and often did things the opposite of what everyone else was doing...so that made for some awkward moments. LOL. I enjoyed your answers as always. Yes, looking at the moon and sunset and stars are also a favorite of mine.
