@terenceterrier

Da winnin linky woz released in da 90's so I did a lookysee to find Sir Elton singing a songy wot I like from da same period. Dis week I gives you 'Sacrifice' as my linky. I best Tucker tradishun I gives yoo a live vershun to wotch n listen to.  (Lexie: ahh I dus miss Tucker, he was such a great player and friend)

Last weeks winner was Harvs with Billy Joel and River of Dreams. Billy sang about not knowing what he was looking for but going to the river every day to look. Maybe he should do what Lykke Li does and follow the river instead of just standing there! Maybe he'll find it then. So my choice this
week is Lykke Li with I Follow Rivers.

Well done with River of Dreams. Billy Joel has a rich history to draw upon and I chose Billy as a "piano man". A contemporary of Joel's, the incredible pianist Randy Newman also has a strong catalog. My tune was written by Newman, "Sail Away", which covers Jesus and crossing waters to find dreams. Joe Cocker does an amazing job with Newman's song.



@claptonterrier
last week mr Harvey chose a song called River of Dreams…and  that reminded us of a very old song that we recently heard being performed by some very young people….we liked it so much we are picking it as our link this week…its simply called “:River” and its by Joni Mitchell…

Great tune Harvs! Love Billy Joel. This week I share "Rapture" by Blondie. Heads shaking out there? How you gonna linky this tune you ask? Well rapture is defined as ....The carrying of a person to another place or sphere of existence. To sleep per chance to dream.





@djladylexie

So we are goin wiv Grace Jones and Slave to the Rhythm. Plus we like this video coz she is usin hoola hoop and mum just started power hoop! Hoopla!





@sonikebt
Last weeks winner was @bunnersandharvs with Billy Joel's 'River of Dreams' which made me think about what sails on rivers - ships that's what. So I tried to think of songs about ships and remembered the marvellous 'Dignity' by Deacon Blue.
