A challenge, but just for the fun of it

It’s all Elaine’s fault (she sometimes hangs about over here, but these days is a bigger Facebook-botherer).

But chiefly because of her, and a conversation we had yesterday evening, I thought it would be good to have a go at putting together a musical blogging challenge (in much the same way that Young Masher does his February Blogathon Challenge).

So.

We pick a month (I’ve already done this: June seems like a fair choice) and we write a post a day based on a musical theme.

This is an old idea and comes from GRAE New York, (it was Elaine who pointed me at the source material).

I’ve updated the list a little, made it more user-friendly and changed a couple of the categories.

What do you think?

Going to have a crack at it?

There’s plenty of thinking time, between now and June.

I’m probably just going to write a few lines about each song, and then post a link to the song on YouTube (assuming I can find the song over there).

And if you’re a Facebook-botherer and just want to post your music challenge in that place, instead of on a blog/website of your choosing, just make sure I can see it, eh?

Here’s the list in full, but I’ll post it again at the end of May.

  1. Well I shall surely join you. This sounds like fun. And I don’t have to think of a subject so all I hve to do is start working on the actual posts ready for June. Surely I can get this done………

    1. Good man, Dave. It’s just for fun after all. And to give me something new to listen to in my moments of insomnia 🙂
