Music Mondays...on Wednesday

I have decided to come up with a new lazy way to make it easier for me to come up with posts idea for my blog posts on Mondays. I love music, which I would marry if I could, but since you can't I suppose marrying a musician is the next best thing. The sad thing about my love for music is that I am actually not musical at all. I'm what you pc people would call 'musically challenged'. I can sing on key and I do have an ear for picking up harmonies but I cannot for the life of me play an instrument and would rather have had my dad do my makeup on my wedding day than sing in front of people by myself. My mom plays guitar, piano, and sings, and my dad plays drums and is who I get my harmony hearing abilities from. I can't even make armpit farts! (although I can play Hawaiian music with my nose)

So in an attempt to fulfill my musical desires, I am going to be launching Maggie's Musical Mondays. I'm not talking the kind where Branden and I dress like hillbillies and sing Oklahoma songs for the world to point and laugh at; I'm wanting to share my wide musical appreciation with all of you! I feel the need to state now that in no way are you EVER going to find a country song in this collection of my music loves because I don't consider country music to be music (skinning a cat and recording it is just sick, not artistic!) and I loath it probably more than bathing suit shopping! I do like some Folk and Bluegrass music, and there IS a difference, so I don't want poo pooers when I share some of them.

Ok, so the big question is why in the world am I sharing this all on a Wednesday???

Because what better day to share a musical favorite of mine than on Wednesday...Business Time!

  4. Stephanie, a fellow nose player! I could cry with joy! I thought I was the only freak of nature who did this!!! You have made my day!

    Joshua, I love Sugarlumps too...and Bret you've got it goin on...and all the times Jermaine visits Bret as Bowie! They are just fabulous!

    Christiana, I know, how could you not!?! Branden actually has to take all the credit for introducing them to me though.

    Elisa, I'm so glad I have shown you to the light! These guys are a riot and will have you rolling! Business Time is a classic though ;)

  5. My mates are all musical but I don't have the self discipline to carry on with an instrument.

  6. You need to try nose music to the tune of that song that goes, "My Bonnie lies over the ocean, my Bonnie lies over the sea...." The part where you sing, "Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my Bonnie to me, to me" is the best for nose playing.

  7. Tony, that possibly and most likely is my excuse as well but being musically challenged sounds less lazy!

    Stephanie...I think you need to make a vlog of this! (and I'm so going to try it!)

  10. Of course a couple weeks after we were back from our honeymoon, Andy texted one of his friends that he had his business socks on...

  11. hahahahahahaha! I CAN do armpit farts, though that is the extent of my musical talents ;) I tried to learn to play the guitar a few years ago, but.... well.... apparently it requires time, effort, and talent.

Does this straitjacket make my butt look big?
