This blog spot is the home to my ramblings. I am a free lance writer. Most of my work goes on Associated Content. Sometimes I write what is on my mind, sometimes I plug some of my writing, and sometimes a combination of the two. So, sit back read, enjoy, and we will see where it goes.
It's a twofer post today. I am doing the A to Z Challenge where you blog based on a specific letter of the alphabet through the month of April. Today's letter is S.
It is also Monday's Music Moves Me and today is a freebie which really makes it easy to intertwine the two.
I have been doing my A to Z relating it to my Mom. The musician I am going to focus on is Santana because my Mom and I went to see him at Wolftrap it was a co-bill with Jeff Beck. (I went the following day too!)
It was 1995 and her is Santana performing "Jinga" in Peru that year.
Santana "Smooth" with Rob Thomas.
No not all songs from the same year. This is just a collection to enjoy.
One of my all time favorite Santa song is "Winning"
Since the anniversary of Woodstock is coming here is a flashback. Santana performing "Soul Sacrifice" at the festival.
I could do this all day but I know you have other blogs to visit. It was a fun concert which I enjoyed with my Mom.
Today July 20, 2015 marks Carlos Santana's birthday and I plan to celebrate his birthday with lots of great music. It is a bonus to have back to back great guitarist birthdays like Brian May and Carlos. So I will open up the music with a song called "Winning."
He has won multiple Grammy Awards, the majority of them coming later in his career with collaborations like this one with Rob Thomas..
As you can see Carlos Santana has been very "smooth" over the years. his career has gone a long way since Woodstock when he performed "Soul Sacrifice"...
Here he is with Michelle Branch with "The Game of Love"..
I hope you enjoyed your visit. I will be back tomorrow with the winners post of my Battle of the Bands post.
