Favorite Things Friday: Music

And here it is Sunday...posting my Friday blog.  Maybe I should retitle to Favorite Things Weekend post?


However, I will be staying within the theme for the week, which is "music."  Of course, the subcategories will be tweaked to meet my own personal preference.  Go figure. 


The subcategories are to include:  song from the year you were born, song from the year you graduated high school, love song, dancin song, and guilty pleasure.  I don't know yet what subcategories I intend to add as I haven't started perusing the charts as of yet.  My mind's a bit too cluttered to categorize at the moment, but things will come together as I write. 

Added side note:  I have TRIED to link every song/artist to Youtube video.  However, the links aren't appearing.  Just click on the word though, and it should work.  Crossing fingers...

1972:  Yes, you read that right.  1972.  I know...shocking isn't it?  Incredible for 38, right?  Enough said...moving on to the music.
