When you see this, post 5 songs you actually listen to and tag 10 of your favourite followers/mutuals!
Got tagged by @hikamaus, so now we're playing how much do I want to carefully edit my actual taste in music so I don't sound like some kind of 80 year old jukebox set to shuffle the game of ... musical ... musical chairs (?).
"Hit it."
Getting weird immediately with "Pecori Night," by Gorie with Jasmine and Joann, a Japanese cover of The Bay City Rollers' "Saturday Night." Not just a cover, of course, because this has a cross-dressing guy dancing around dressed like a cheerleader... Can't find the original video for this one on YT, but maybe just listen to the audio only anyway. It's ... catchy. They also have a banger cover of "Mickey." No idea how I stumbled across these.
Song number two: "Fight Song / Amazing Grace" as covered / remixed / performed by The Piano Guys:
Great song, great performance, great video, what more can I say? Look up some other stuff by them if you like this one – "All of Me" and "Rockelbel's Canon" are good examples.
Third song goes here: I'm passing over some of the English-language Eurovision songs from the 80's that I've grabbed recently (I think I already posted them here?), and I'm choosing "The House You Live In" by Gordon Lightfoot:
He's more than just 'the Edmund Fitzgerald guy.' I can also suggest "Don Quixote," "Early Morning Rain," "Sit Down Young Stranger," "Second Cup of Coffee," and "If You Could Read My Mind" if you like this kind of melancholy, folk vibe.
Song Number Four: "Tracy" by The Cuff Links. Here's your obligatory oldies, happy pop song:
Fifth Song Goes Here: Finally, how about a lesser-appreciated 80's pop / rock song? I present to you the ballistic missile submarine Red October "Playin' With Fire" by Lita Ford:
I like her pop / rock stuff, but the majority of her work appears to be more country-sounding.
Thanks for reading / listening and you're welcome / I'm sorry.

It's Spring Break Time!
Since Fairfax County Schools are on Spring Break this week, so is the O’Connor Music Studio.
Enjoy your time off but don’t forget to practice!
Franz Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody #2 might be a good place to start (or not!)
Or, just watch and enjoy the Piano Guys as they share a Line Rider.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
This past week, I was blessed to have the opportunity to attend a Piano Guys (one of my favorite musical groups) concert. It was a moving experience. During the concert, the member of the duo who plays the cello (not the piano!), Steven Sharp Nelson, shared with the audience some struggles he has been having recently. He talked about this as part of the introduction to the song, O Come, O Come,…

Storytime:
My mother has lung cancer and has been having a really rough time, especially as of late. She went to a Piano Guys concert and got to meet them. They're her absolute favorite musicians, and she told them that going to their concert was on her bucket list. And then Steven turned to John and said "John! We've reached bucket list status!"
Anyway, I just wanted to thank them, because they made my mother so happy.
