"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." Dr. Seuss
Today is Elvis Presley's birthday he is 78 years old today... Happy birthday to the king of rock-n-roll. Now I don't want to hear from any of you asking me, "what I'm talking about, don't I mean he would have been 78 because he died in 1977?" Elvis isn't dead, he's in Witness Protection somewhere, living out his retirement golfing, fishing, and singing around the campfire. Now don't you try to tell me any different, it will just upset me and make me cry.
Anyway, in honor of The King's birthday, I wanted to play a few of my favorite songs of his for y'all. Hope you enjoy.....
This is my favorite Elvis song, ever:
This song is just so sexy and jazzy, I really love it:
This song always gives me chills and fits my blog perfectly:

In honor of Valentine's Day tomorrow, today's theme is AMORE' (True Love). So pick whatever songs are on your mind, write up your post and share with us because we love music and we love you all. I dedicate the following songs to the love of my life, the man who changed the world for me when he came into my life and made everything wonderful. Yes, we have had our ups and downs, fortunately the downs have been few, and we have gotten through them together with love, hard work,and a LOT of laughter. So, my darling Bill, thank you for everything you have done for me, been to me, and continue to do and be. I will love you until the day I die. Can't Help Falling in Love ~ Elvis Presley(You knew he'd be here!)
Declaration of Love ~ Celine Dion
I'll Be There for You ~ Bon Jovi
This last song is a silly, sexy song that both Bill and I like to sing when we are just being funny. We both love Bryan Adams and have seen him twice in concert and it was excellent. This video is AWESOME as it stars the actors from one of our favorite Syfy shows Warehouse 13. Hope you enjoy it... While there is no foul language, it really isn't for little ears.
I Wanna Be Your Underwear ~ Bryan Adams

Today Elvis Presley would have been 77 years old - did any of you think I'd let this day pass without mentioning it??? I bet if he was still around, he would be rockin' and shaking his hips and making ladies (myself included) swoon. A beautiful life taken much too soon. Here is something from me to him....
What a way to start off the new year. I swear I'll be better next week.
I forgot yesterday was Sunday, so I'm late again....

Here is what I have been grooving to today:
This is such a beautiful song and it reminds me of the Community Chorus I belonged to in Connecticut when I lived up there.
