Your Grand FUnk Railroad made me cackle out loud!!!
Happy Monday.
I love all of those Dolly – I got chills with the Whitney one, giggled with the Grand Funk Railroad one, and danced in my chair with Little Big Town and the Dixie Chicks (both my favorite). 🙂 Have a great week! 🙂
It Will Rain, so Blow and Set Fire To The Rain – I’m Glad You Came Safe And Sound
All great songs & makes a person want to get up and dance. Thanks for sharing you musical party. Have a great day!
The Grand Funk Railroad one is very funny! Loved it. Thanks for making my day.
So glad you posted a Whitney funeral video. I went antiques shopping that Saturday and completely forgot to turn on the TV when I got home (which was already late). Tells me I need to catch up pronto.
Yep, it’s me again draggin’ up the rear always the last one to finish. Soon as my therapy is over I’ll be back in the groove. Love your choices girlfriend. As I said let’s get creative this week, and you sure did. See ya next week & have a good one! Love Dixie chicks.
I’m playing catch up. I’m sorry for being so sloooow to get over for a visit. This is kinda wild we both picked American Band. That song really rocks, doesn’t it? Keep dancing the rest of the week and I’ll see you on Monday!
