10a. Music Keynotes Red Red Wine - UB40

Perfect pairing with my blog on our visit to Monefiorelle Winery in Chianti!
This song was penned by Neil Diamond in the 70's and again became a hit with the UK's UB40 in the 1980's. 
This youtube video is from a live concert in Montreaux in 2002.  Usually when an 80's band regroups and hits the stage again it disappoints you with sound and with the inevitable aging that takes place with our former fascinations.  This proves thats not always the case.  The bands sound is mature, lead singers voice more well rounded and the song has legs!   There, I've managed to throw wine terms to describe UB40.  My cliche obsession is now complete!  Cheers and enjoy.

Shakespeare I'm not, but the borrowing, the appreciation, the effort is true.

Shakespeare I'm not, but the borrowing, the appreciation, the effort is true. And that's why my Blog title is a 'play on' words altering the opening line of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night from "if music be the food of love" to "life" because it seemed to reflect me and my aspirations of writing, much better.



'Love', as a word, comes with expectations doesn't it? It seems grandiose and definitive. The word 'Life' though feels comfortable, more palatable and true. That's what I really hope to accomplish with my blog. Write what I feel, write for me, write about my life. So with that said, I hope you find something to 'chew on' from reading my blog. Expect tired clichés, eclectic music references, spelling mistakes, run-on sentences and poor grammar, because well, that’s just me.


Cheers!
