This Is The Life
Monday morning, Shut Up and Kiss Me wonder where’re you gonna sleep tonight.
This catchy song was originally a big hit for its singer-songwriter, Scottish Amy Macdonald, who wrote it when she was only 16. The song made its way all through Europe a decade and a half ago, and landed here with this Romanian band.

Ask Me Why
Monday Morning, a most unusual cover of a lesser known, but great early Beatles song. The guy who does this is really interesting–go to his channel and look at the variety of covers he does, all very well produced. I have no idea what his real name is, but he’s quite talented.

I Should Have Known Better
Monday morning, a spirited sing-in. This was recorded at Strawberry Fields, the small garden patch just inside the entrance to Central Park, across the street from the Dakota, the apartment building where John and Yoko lived. A crowd gathers every year there on Lennon’s birthday Oct 9th and sings. This was from last October’s gathering.

What’ll I Do?
Monday Morning, Nat King Cole tells his story. Lots of versions of this song from Frank Sinatra to Johnny Mathis to Linda Ronstadt, but my favorite by far is Nat King Cole’s version. No pyrotechnics, just pure and simple singing with tasteful accompaniment.
I was surprised to see who wrote this song!

I’ll Never Find Another You
Monday morning we salute Judith Durham of the Seekers who died this month. The 1964 hit featured the Australian singer’s wonderful voice which would ring out from the harmonies of her band mates. They had other hits including the theme song to the film, Georgy Girl, but this song is my favorite of theirs.
