I have been on a blogging hiatus but I am back today. Back just in time for Monday's Music Moves Me.  Today's theme is one hit wonders from your high school years. Below you will find a few from mine.


My high Schools years would have been 1986 to 1989.



1986 Back then "The Futures So Bright I gotta Wear Shades"

To be fair, Robert Cray is a blues artist so just having a mainstream hit is a feat.

It is a blog hop and you can check out the rest here. Thanks for visiting and I will be back soon!

Battle of the Bands: 80s Pop, Newer Covers

Do I do the expected Holiday song or do I spin the mystery music wheel? Well the mystery wheel wins again. Today's inspiration comes from 80s pop. I saw Taylor Dayne back in the early 90s in concert and paths crossed recently perhaps on radio airwaves or something. Anyway I hope you enjoy.

Please check out the rest of the battles, this site has the best links.
