As many of you know I do a weekly radio show called, “Music from Germany.”
https://knuj.net/2022/06/05/music-from-germany-june-5/
It’s brought to you by Domeiers New Ulm’s German Store!
Domeier’s is a unique store located at 1020 South Minnesota Street in my hometown of New Ulm, MN!
It’s always a nice walk from my house to the wonderful world of Domeiers German Store!
We really enjoyed the sounds of our Municipal band last night!
My favourite was the medley from Meredith Wilson’s, “The Music Man.”
I found out Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are performing that Hollywood musical on Broadway!
My own music duo Molly and Sonny Boy (me and hubby Jim) will be performing here at German Park on June 20, 2022!
Here is a sample of our original music!
I just watched this band bio.
Herman’s Hermits had 30 top hits!
They added to an LP with a song they thought was rather ridiculous called, “Mrs. Brown you’ve got a lovely daughter.” But of course it became a smash hit!
Many of their songs were released as popular singles.
There is the lead singer Peter Noone, but no Herman in the band.
Herman was a band name derived from the name Sherman of the American cartoon, “Sherman and Peabody.”
There always seems to be great content in band biographies.
What is your favorite Herman’s Hermits song?
Hubby brought me in a handful of fresh home-grown radishes from our backyard garden.
So I grabbed one and ate it.
Tender and delicious. 😋
Not bittter at all.
Springtime is a lovely time of year.
I recently bought myself a Galaxy 4 watch and I thought there is no better photo to put on my new watch-face than hubby and his radishes!
I have decided to dedicate each Friday blog post to songs that come my way.
Whenever I discover a new song or remember a good song to share, I will post it here on Fridays.
Today we are going to feature a song that I had not heard before, or did not know much about.
It was dedicated to me by a jazz trio because I was wearing my beret at a jazz night last Saturday night.
The band leader said, “Here is a Django Reinhardt song for you called, “Nuages,” a French word for clouds. ☁️
Here is the illustrious Monsieur Reinhardt on the guitar performing, “Nuages.”

Watch Django Reinhardt play incredible music with just 2 fingers on the fretboard.
Each Monday I will show you what I’ve been watching in a new feature I have decided to call, “On the tube.”
Today I’m watching, “The Green Hornet.”
Campy fun.
Sadly, it only went for one season on ABC, but such a lark.
Yesterday was a very long day.
Nevertheless, it was time to get out of Dodge.
Hubby and I decided to let someone else entertain us with food and music for a change!
So we drove to Morgan Creek Vineyards on a chilly night.

It was so pretty outside in the country, but we were able to sit indoors to enjoy the warmth of food, drinks & music!
We went to hear my former college guitar teacher, James McGuire play with his combo.
Longer daylight seems to provide more energy for the soul!
Today my post is about music and food, two of life’s greatest blessings!
Today my little music duo, Molly and Sonny Boy ( hubby Jim and I,) did a nice little number for you, “That’s Amore.” Just guitar, tambourine and 2 vocals.
It’s a song that mentions Pasta Fazool.
Hubby cooks it often from a recipe he got from his Italian ex-girlfriend’s mother. It contains ditalini pasta, Great Northern beans, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes dried Romano cheese chunks, black pepper, red pepper, rosemary, garlic and olive oil.
My folk duo published this song.
It was inspired by a real-life experience.
I was introduced to a new coffee drink I never heard about until I moved to the USA.
It was called the Cappuccino.
I wrote the lyrics and hubby arranged the music and tweaked the lyrics to suit.
He put the African talking drum in there as well, to mimic the sounds of cappucinno-making.
I used video and photos from the time we were in Las Vegas.
Enjoy this song for free from Sonny Boy and me!
Last night my eclectic music duo, Molly and Sonny Boy performed at Morgan Creek Vineyards.
It was perfect weather.
When the sun finally set, there was a clear sky and a beautiful moon.
The food they provided after our gig was from an outdoor pizza oven.
All in all, it was a special time thanks to our generous George, Paula, Adam, Griffin, Dee and all the employees at Morgan Creek Vineyards!
