Quick, what song do you think of when I say the word “Chicken”?
When I put together programs for clubs, public events or senior communities, I love to play “song association” a sort of version of word association where differents genres and artists are linked together by only the slightest relationship!
Themes keep the audience awake and involved. Every song, I will change styles from classical to rock and roll, involving all ages and backgrounds in the enjoyment of guessing and recognizing their favorites.
But in 2020, I haven’t been able to do any of this public concerts! But I have enjoyed the very steep learning curve of sharing more of my music online. Mostly enjoyed…
So to send off this year and welcome in a new 2021, I put together 12 mini concerts, each a collection of love songs inspired by the gifts described in the Christmas Carol.
The Twelve Days of Christmas was originally a symbolic song where a Lover gives his True Love several gifts as a coded description of Christ. So as we uncover the hidden meaning in this old Christmas Love Song by associating it with love songs all the way today.
Here is the links to days one and two. We associated Blackbird by the Beatles with a Partridge in a Pear Tree and mixed Married Life from the movie Up with the image of two turtle doves.
Day three is three french hens… and yes, there will be the chicken dance!
Follow along or leave a suggestion for the 12 days of Christmas!
