Friday Music Blog

Welcome back in to the Friday Music Blog! One of the most popular blogs I offer, I am excited to introduce the first topic of 2011! Today's focus is songs with adverbs in the title. I know, I know, a bit weird, huh? Well, I get that. I'm odd. I adore adverbs. Completely underused in our lexicon, the adverb illuminates ideas and speech. To review for those of you who consistently slept through grammar class, the adverb modifies the verb, adjective or other adverb in a sentence. Typically adverbs are easily spotted by their "-ly" ending but not all adverbs adhere to this spelling, think "very" or "well". I'll even offer up an example song - "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by Savage Garden. Sappy? Yes. Full of adverbs? You betcha! So, do your best with this oddball topic and see how many songs you can come up with that use adverbs in their title. This is a great strategy to keep your brain sharp and ward off dementia and forgetfulness! (What was I saying?) Just doing my part to keep you mentally keen.

One week under our belts in this new year. I am thrilled with 2011 so far, intrigued by the mystery a new year guarantees, and excited by the new topics I'm introducing this year - the Monday Movie Blog and the Tantalizing Thursday food blog. I'm always curious as to your thoughts about the topics I write. Comments? Critiques? Requests? Let me know!

Join me on Sunday for a special (and rare) blog entry for a very special reason. It will not be posted as early as my week day blogs, but it will be posted for public consumption sometime before I go to bed that night! I hope you can check back for that and, of course, continue to check back for the FMB posts that accrue. And then, I invite your to join me to start the second week of 2011 with me at Chief 187 Chatter! Happy Weekend!!
