and Myra at We Make Three recently asked if I would like to be part of her very fun and very brilliant musically-minded weekly post - Mixtape Monday. I! Know!
In keeping with the bent of my personality – I said, “Yes!” I mean, a whole post about ME and music and ME? Like, of course! I love to serve my public. I’m a giver. I was born that way. My middle name? Giver. Mmmm-hmmm…
Aaaaanyways… on Mixtape Monday, Myra features a different blogger who has made the world a better place all due to her fabulous taste in music and his/her top ten songs on his/her iPod. Mixtape Monday – isn’t that a great title! Isn’t that a great idea?! Oh, AND she asked for a picture. Dudes, I totally grabbed a picture that one of The Retro people took at one of their gigs. I was all “in the zone”, either dancing with myself or rockin’ the Casbah. Or both.
You want to know my top ten? I’m not telling! You ned to go visit Myra at We Make Three! Oh, and leave a comment – it’s like a virtual hug! Give her a hug for me!!! Go there as I do my part to spread the linky-love that makes to blog-world go-round in perfect circles… and also to read all the yummy, lovey, ever-so-true things she wrote about Me – lil’ ‘ol Me!
All this music-talk reminded me of a meme I did back in September ‘06. It was called “Musical Fortune Telling“… To do it I set my iPod to “random” and asked my iPod (out loud) a series of questions. I think it’s time for a reprise… I am going to just copy and paste those answers here… the answers from that post were just too awesome to ever “do-over”:
How does the world see you?
“Everybody Dance Now” by C&C Music Factory (Is anyone who knows me really surprised??? In fact, it’s a little freakay…)
Will I have a happy life?
“Like a Child” by Jars of Clay (kids are happy people, especially when they get chocolate milk and coins for the bubble gum machine)
What do my friends really think of me?
“I Must Have It” by Veggie Tales (eww, that’s charming)
What do people secretly think of me?
“Man Of God” by Audio Adrenaline (that’s better)
How can I be happy?
“Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden (black sun = happy…)
Will I ever have (more) children?
“He That Is In Us” by Hosanna Music (I have nothing to say)
What is some good advice for me?
“Believe” by The Newsboys (true, true…)
How will I be remembered?
“Self Control” by The Music Machine (yeah. no.)
What is my signature dancing song?
“Majesty” by Delirious? (picture flags of many beautiful colors, flowing scarves, tamborines and a big open field)
What do I think my current theme song is?
“Yuletide Medley #1 (Oh Holy Night/Joy To The World/Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem/Deck The Halls) by the Glenn Miller – In The Christmas Mood Holiday album (OK, I do love holiday music)
What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
“I Will Sing” by Hillsongs of Australia (sure if I’m at a karaoke bar – and have had a dose of “liquid courage”)
What song will play at my funeral?
“Gargantua’s Last Stand” by Man…Or Astroman? (seriously)
What is my day going to be like?
“It Is You” (Live) by the Newsboys (huh?)
Now. How about you? I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to read about your answers! Go – do this, post it and would ya put a comment about it here? Then I would know when to go, and so would all our friends who visit here! It could be a regular musical carnival! C’mon! PLEEEEEEEAAAAAASE!
Alright. I am off to bed… Kiss, kiss.

Keep up-to-date on the insane, the insightful, and the whatever…








I did that iPod meme a while back and my answers were pretty freaky, too. I gotta dig that one up…
I’m off to check you out on Mixtape Monday!
Wait, isn’t it Wednesday?
Left you a virtual hug on Myra’s site. You’ll have to go there to read it :).

Thanks for the suggestion Jenny – I just posted my musical fortune telling results and they were a little spooky – need your guidance on how to interprete the “over the rainbow” answer. I figure you’ve got the inside track with your ruby red sneakers!
Hi Jenny! I’m visiting via Kathleen via Myra – a fellow music lover and ipod addict… I love this meme – super fun – and I’ll do it too. I was also a monday mixtape contributor at Myra’s a few months ago – so fun, right??
