Music Monday - Melting The Blues Away

We went to the Stranahan Theater in Toledo last night to hear the OMEA District 1 High School Honors Concert of the best of this area's high school orchestras, choirs, and bands.  It was a wonderful evening of music.  My son played his upright bass in the orchestra there.  I recorded three of their songs, but I don't have time to upload them to the computer today.  Perhaps I will do that another time.

At one point the emcee of the program was laughing about the fact that during the band's performance, some of the other students from the orchestra and choir were backstage dancing to the music on stage.  We in the audience couldn't see them, of course.  He was amused by the fact that the kids were doing a sort of line dance, can-can style, with high kicking legs. It made us wish we could have seen what was going on back there!  

A dance with high kicking legs, always makes me think of the big finish to the song, "New York New York" by Frank Sinatra, so now this song is stuck in my head.  I thought it would be a good one to post for Music Monday this week.

It's snowing here AGAIN today.  Schools are closed AGAIN.  I need to get outside to clear off my car and the driveway AGAIN so I can go to work this afternoon.  It's not the "little town blues" as mentioned in this song that I need to have "melting away,"  it is all this ridiculous snow, but that's not happening today.  

So I might as well be cheerful in spite of the weather and get outside to do some high kicking steps of my own while I take an ice scraper to my car windows and a snow shovel to the sidewalk.  I hope whatever type of "blues" you might be suffering from today that they too will soon be "melting away."  Happy Music Monday to you!
