Week 13 of Mary B’s song challenge. Here are this week’s prompts:
A Protest Song: Chicago Transit Authority, "Someday." From their first album, before the real Chicago Transit Authority’s lawyers came calling.
A Love Song: Ella Fitzgerald, "Night And Day." Cole Porter’s classic.
A Sport: Jan & Dean, "Surf City." "Two girls for every boy…"
Tally ho and away we go! See you next week with a brand new show!
Great selection of songs, especially the sport song. Surfing was a good choice!

It didn’t occur to me that surfing was a sport at first…

I don’t think you’re alone in your thinking, John. Being from Florida, surfing is a big attraction, and in California and Hawaii, it is a major sport. If you don’t live in those areas, surfing takes a back seat to other sports.

Right. There’s no surfing on Lake Michigan…

Love it!! I feel like we kind of match with the love song since we went with songs that were in Astaire/Rogers musicals and were composed by the great songwriters from the 20s and 30s. I love Ella and her great take on this classic song. Chicago is such a great band with real horns and other instruments which you don’t see nowadays. Love that you picked surfing:)

I thought surfing was a good choice, and it gave me an excuse to play some Jan and Dean. Did you listen to Leonid & Friends? They’re all playing there, too.

I’ve never been surfing, and given my age and infirmities I probably never will go surfing.

I tried once as a teen. Never could stand up on the board. I do enjoy watching the surfers though.

I chuckled when I saw your sport song. (Is your internet back up? Make sure they credit your account.)

I’m using one of their hot spots, which surprisingly I can actually connect to from home. I’m not sure where it is, but I’m not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. I renewed my VPN license to be safe…
