Monday's Music Moves Me ~ A Little Break and An Explanation

.
<br /><a href="http://thenewxmasdolly.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz61/xmasdolly/Decorated%20images/th_retromusic1-1.gif" /></a><br /><br />     First of all... CONGRATULATIONS to all the lucky winners of our Grand Gala Giveaway!! We are so grateful for your participation and support for the past 100 weeks and look forward to another 100 with you all. LET'S KEEP ROCKIN!  

Welcome to Monday's Music Moves Me!!! We want to make this one of the BEST meme's in all of Blogville, but we cannot do that without YOU.... so come share your music with us and bring your friends to share theirs with us, too!!

Running this little dance party of ours is the sweetest and most wonderful Marie of XmasDolly. The cohosts helping to keep the party rockin' and rollin' are three absolutely fabulous women, who I love to call my friends: Callie of JamericanSpice, Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, and  Cathy of Cathy Kennedy's Blog.  Plus because life gets to be so hectic at times, we occasionally have one of our faithful followers/participants help us with our cohosting duties. This month, we have Danielle of Royalegacy helping us out, so don't forget to go visit her and follow her blog also!

Normally I am also a cohost on this magnificent meme, but my back and neck have been giving me much more difficulty over the last month and I fell last week, causing me even greater pain and the ability to spend less time on the computer. Soooo, I am going to take the month of August off from my hosting duties while I try and recuperate. I will still post the weekly theme and the linky and will do my best to visit as many of you as I can with the time I can spend on the computer.

I do hope you will continue to support the meme, follow the other ladies, and rock your hearts out every week... I know that some Mondays it really is the only thing that gets me going.  =)

So, this week the theme is FREEBIE; and you get to pick any song your hear desires. I cannot wait to see what you post...... Have a great week and keep on rockin!!

***Just one more note,

please keep your songs PG - this is a family blog.

If you do have one song that has some questionable lyrics or content,

PLEASE put a disclaimer BEFORE the video

so my readers can make an informed decision

 as to whether they wish to view it or not.

Thank you!***

Holy cow... can you believe that it's only TWO weeks until our 100th week Grand Gala Giveaway??

Don't forget to enter for some totally awesome prizes!!

Welcome to Monday's Music Moves Me!!! We want to make this one of the BEST meme's in all of Blogville, but we cannot do that without YOU.... so come share your music with us and bring your friends to share theirs with us, too!!

Running this little dance party of ours is the sweetest and most wonderful Marie of XmasDolly. The cohosts helping to keep the party rockin' and rollin' are ME, Callie of JamericanSpice, Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, and our newest, and of course just as fabulous, Cathy of Cathy Kennedy's Blog. Also, because life gets to be so hectic at times, we occasionally have one of our faithful followers/participants help us with our cohosting duties. This month, we have one of our original cohost's Larry of Cakeblast helping us out, so don't forget to go visit him and follow his blog also!

This week is Gone But Not Forgotten week! Songs from singers that we have lost within the last six month, all too soon in my opinion.

Daydream Believer ~ Davy Jones

I've Gotta Get a Message to You ~ Robin Gibb



At Last ~ Etta James




I hope you enjoyed my selections... I can't wait to hear what's moving you this week. Here's all you need to do to play along:


Step One: Head on over to You Tube, pick your videos and post them on your blog! Upcoming themes are to you LOWER RIGHT of XmasDolly'sblog.

Step Two: Grab the 4M Button and the Hosts' Buttons and place them on your site... we all have them clearly visable on our sidebars.

Step Three: Make sure you are following your hosts - either on GFC, Linky, via email, Twitter, etc. and we will follow you back. This one is really important if you want to participate in our Grand Gala Giveaway coming up in 2 weeks.

Final Step: Most important, SIGN the linky, visit the other participants AND LEAVE A COMMENT! You know you like comments, so do your fellow players.


Each week we've been having a random drawing of all our participants to be our 2 Spotlight Dancers; and they are in the lucky #1 and #2 spots in our linky. Marie has been trying each week to reach the Spotlight Dancers via email, but many of you don't have your email address available on your blog. I have also tried to help her a couple of times and we have left messages on all forms of social media for our wonderful players. Soooo, if we can't find your email address easily, you'll miss out. During our Grand Gala Giveaway, we are only featuring ONE spotlight dancer who will be in #7 this week (sorry you're so far down), and our fabulous dancer this week is the one and only:

Gillian of A Daft Scots Lass

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Now I know Gillian has been in our spotlight before, so I'm sure she proudly displays her badge telling everyone she was chosen as our winner. For everyone else chosen, go on over to XmasDolly's blog and grab the button to let everyone know just how special you are!

So let's go everyone... post your songs, link up, tell your friends, and don't forget to head on over to Dolly's blog, and the rest of the ladies' blogs to enter our Grand Gala Giveaway!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Don't forget... if you are one of the lucky ones chosen for our spotlight dance, you get to grab the Spotlight Dancer Button from Dolly's right sidebar and proudly display it on your blog... WooHoo!

Now, don't forget to sign the linky, visit the participants, and leave a comment - you know you like them, so does everyone else. For more Monday music fun, visit my friend Denise at Run DMT.

ROCK ON MY FRIENDS!!

I'm very sorry to say there are some people not playing along just using our linky to get traffic for their blogs! Unfortunately, these bloggers will be marked and ignored, you will not get any benefit from our linky, so don't bother. All we ask is that you leave a comment, grab our button, ad/or follow us. If you don't want to post a video, you can post a link to a video, or post some lyrics, but please - at least attempt to make it music related.

*** Just one more thing...

PLEASE, we are family friendly blogs

and while we really don't want to censor anyone,

but we do ask that you keep your songs rated PG13 or less.

If you find that you need to post songs of an explicit sexual nature or language,

please find a different venue.

If your song does contain a small amount of questionable Language,

please put disclaimer BEFORE the video.

Thank you very much!***
