FMM: Denver Ditty

During our monthly birthday celebration last Tuesday, our guest busker called us up to the stage to join us for a song. Of course, we were very reluctant. But in the spirit of good fun, we decided to just give it a shot.

The song they asked us to sing was this really old song from 1974, and is a classic folk bar song from John Denver.

"Annie's songs" is such a laid-back and easy-to-sing song. That's why even if we have no singing experience, it was fun to sing along with this ditty. Also, that was the impetus that led to making this today's Friday Magic Madness song.

The funny thing about this song is that people think the title is "You fill up my senses." After all, that's the main lyric that you hear over and over again.

This song really filled up our senses.

FMM: Where does it take me?

I've been doing some research on songs about traveling and journeys for this year's service awards in school.

Thanks to that, I've been reacquainted with this oldie, but super goodie by John Denver.



This was big in the 70s, and more than 40 years after, it still sounds happy and fun.

Good - and old - songs transport you that way.
