5 on Friday -- Set 258 / Happy 8th Anniversary to My Blog!


A Piece of My Mind turned 8 yesterday!

I'd like to say a very heartfelt thank you to all of my longtime readers. I have so many online friends that I met initially through the blogosphere, and my world is so much happier with all of you in it.

I thought I'd include the link to my very first blog post, as a little look back today:




And now, on to our regularly scheduled programming.





Spinning Friday tunes since 2010...

For anyone who wants to join in, simply choose five pieces of music and post them for other bloggers to enjoy. Then check out the set posted by the other 5 on Friday blogger -- you can sign in over at Golch Central's Rambling Stuff.

This year I'll be taking a once-a-month look at specific instruments and showcasing five songs or tunes which place that instrument front and center.

My new feature is called Spotlight On...

...and for our second installment, I'm looking at another of the primal body instruments. Here are five songs which shine a spotlight on whistling


1 - Young Folks - Peter Bjorn and John - 2006







2 - Trinity (Titoli) from the Django Unchained soundtrack - Annibale E I Cantori Moderni - 2012







3 - Colonel Bogey March from the Bridge on the River Kwai soundtrack - composed by Frederick J. Ricketts -- performed by The Mitch Miller Orchestra - original composition, 1914 (for the soundtrack, 1957)








4 - Magic Moments - Perry Como - 1957








5 - Don't Worry Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin - 1988
