Another oldie but classic. It’s a live version, but a really nice live version, with video of band playing.

“Green Onions” is an instrumental composition recorded in 1962 by Booker T. & the M.G.’s. Described as “one of the most popular instrumental rock and soul songs ever”.
Absolutely one of my favourite tunes of all time, in my top 5. Another oldie but classic.
I couldn’t decide which video had the best audio quality, but I think the second one – let me know in the comments which you prefer.
“Twenty-Five Miles” is a song written by Johnny Bristol, Harvey Fuqua, and Edwin Starr for Starr’s second album, 25 Miles (1969)
I’m proud of my own flag – I assume others are too.
I’ve added the German flag to my sidebar, as many German people visit my blog (almost 27000 views)
Welcome and hello to all my German readers, best wishes to you all. Thankyou for reading and visiting my blog.

Another oldie but classic’ie, and one of my favourites. From an era where people were actually creative, and actually made really good music. Rather than bland reboots, rehashes, remixes and remakes (sorry, rant over).
This was the best video I could find, video and audio wise.
“Dancing in the Street” is a song written by Marvin Gaye, William “Mickey” Stevenson and Ivy Jo Hunter. (Wikipedia)

A kind commenter reminded me the South African flag is missing from my sidebar, as I have nearly 9000 page views from South Africans.
You should definitely visit her site, there’s some beautiful photography – a gem amongst blogs :

In my stats I noticed I get a lot of views (14422 page views) from people in the Philippines, so I’ve added Philippine flag to my sidebar
And my Indian readers are even more prolific (27198 page views) so I’ve added the Indian flag too.
So welcome and hello to all my Filipino and Indian readers, best wishes to you all. Thankyou for reading and visiting my blog.

In the theme of my previous post – One of my favourite Beatles songs.

I have found music, blog-wise, quite polarizing, because people like what they like. Which is fine.
Plus I’m an absolute novice in creating music !
Anyway – I like this quote, so sharing for you.
‘What trifles constitute happiness! The sound of a bagpipe. Without music life would be a mistake. The German imagines even God as a songster.’
OR Sometimes expressed simply as:
‘Without music, life would be a mistake.’
– F. Nietzsche (Twilight of the Idols, or, How to Philosophize with a Hammer)
I’m not widely read on Nietzsche, so don’t know if these quotes are correct (exactly), please feel free to correct me in the comments if you’re better read than I.
Cheers

Thanks to Anna for sharing this quote. I think it’s worth passing on :
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
From Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
