Music on the Canals

I dance. Play that funky music white boy. Play that funky music right! Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die. Doing squats to the music. Till you die, oh till you die. Jumping around causing crystals to shake and the cats to sit up watching with interest. Even the fish seems avidly into the groove. Watch her move, move, move, move.

She likes the movin' and a groovin' Rock in the night out and the day in. I shake my arms up in the air waving them wildly. “Now this is something different” the pets think. Wild Cherry screams out my windows and into the canal. I switch to Madonna. Papa Don’t Peach. I’m in trouble deep. Like a Virgin. After all this isolation I’m practically a virgin again. I laugh. Sing it Gloria. At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong. And I learned how to get along. Oh! Oh! More squats and then I jump up.. I will survive! Kicking my Knees up to touch my elbows. My sister aways says that my single best skill set in life is that I can make anything into a party. And so if I can’t go out to the party. I’m bringing the party to me. And my neighbors within hearing range. Barbara the pharmacist on the first floor is going to have a heart attack. She gets upset and yells vaffanculo when the Conservatory across the canal plays Bach after dark. Imagine how she will feel about my funky music !? ? I fall to the floor in exhaustion panting and laugh out loud. (This video was not my music but my neighbors sharing their music on to our canal later than same day- Ps you got 2

Posts this morning because I felt like we could use some laughter)


OUR SPONSOR:

He’s not your typical antique dealer. 10 years ago Daniel Larsson - a Skateboarder turned the high end luxury antiques market on a tailspin when he became Sweden’s top antiques dealer. Now, Daniel alongside his rock singer/accountant wife are taking on a new brand and adventure in the home furnishings marketplace offering timeless classic designs, inspired by the finest 18th - 19th-century Swedish furniture. Think what would happen if RockerChic met Beethoven. With the increasing popularity and demand for fine authentic examples of historic Swedish furnishings, it is no longer possible to meet the demand with antiques alone. Original examples rarely come to market and when they do - they command premium prices. Larsson & Berg has build an archive of the finest historic original designs and they are educating contemporary craftsmen to recreate them. The goal of LARSSON & BERG is to safeguard Swedish designs and to develop, create and showcase high-quality classic Swedish furnishings, informed by their experience and knowledge of unique original examples. Join me in welcoming a new brand and adventure in the home furnishings marketplace by Daniel & Cristina Larsson. .
