I'm definitely out of ideas too MR but I'm happy to be entertained and educated by others. That's the great thing about music. There is always something new to discover and listen to. We are lucky music can be shared all around the world now thanks to technology. It was fantastic to see so many artists in lockdown performing for people everywhere and most did this for free also.

My favourite Stevie Wonder song (apart from his love songs) Master Blaster..I can't blast this as it's not even 7am.....but best turned up very loudly..particularly the intro...

I'm so sorry MR! I didn't realise...I need to keep a spreadsheet of what's already been posted..yes I am in work mode as just on lunch break...

I'll start fresh with the new theme from Friday arvo and make a note not to post what everyone else already has going posted forward..I know it's Horrie Hastings turn and I know what the theme is...

I have my theme all ready to go too so just let me know when it's my turn again..

No need to apologise. It's really hard to remember what everyone has posted sometimes, especially if like me you don't log in for a few days. I was more commenting that we both love the same Stevie song!

Oh and I'm looking forward to finding out Horrie's theme. I've learnt a lot about reggae this week so thanks Andy.

Thanks again MR . I'm not going to steal Horrie's thunder but I am looking forward to his turn too..no hints from me I promise..

Yes it's been really good listening to reggae this week as I like to dance around to it when I can't get out to walk. (making toast as I type this even though I have tuna and veges for later..carbs, carbs and more carbs to paraphrase young Victor ) I still can't get this one out of my head. I know that it's been posted twice now under female artists but it makes me happy and I hope it makes others happy too. The funny thing is though even way back when this was released, that closing shot of Toni's silhouette always used to haunt me even though she's happy in the clip. I can sense the loneliness it as the band all go off in another direction and she's just on her own..now I'm sniffling and dancing..and eating toast..

Posting the lyrics also.

Toni Childs Stop Your Fussin'

Why you look so sad when the sky is perfect blue
And you're getting everything you ever wanted to?
Let's no talk about the bad times
We've been thought that before
It's not right for making love anymore.
So stop your fussin'
Boy
Please
Stop your fussin'
Boy
Your time will come
Yes
Your time will come
Can you lay me down in meadows soft and green?
And can you lay me down and talk to me of things
Like stars that burn into the night
And moons that turn with purple lines, that's what I want!
Just stop your fussin'
Boy
Please
Stop your fussin'
Boy
Your time will come
