Here We Go Again.....
Well hello again cyber world! I took a small break from writing but have come to realize more and more lately that I miss it so!!
My question today..... What is in a name? Or your own name rather.... Don't tell me that you've never "Googled" yourself or typed your name into your ITunes search to see what awesome things can be related to your name! I know I have! And so have you!
I've always been a tad bit annoyed at my parents for not stopping to think.... "Hey, we have a daughter, yaayy! We should name her after a sick Rock 'n Roll song!" Growing up with the name Katie, well you could go and say that in the late 80's it was quite possibly the most popular name out there. Yes, very Irish indeed and I have the freckles to prove it. I also went to a Catholic school... so Catharine was very, very popular!! In my class alone there was about 6 or so of us Catharine's or Kate's.
I stop and think of all the awesome songs that are named after some pretty sweet chicks.... "Angie" The Rolling Stones, "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" The Beetles, "Sarah Smile" Hall and Oates, "Come On Eileen" Dexy's Midnight Runners, "Layla" Eric Clapton, "Maggie Mae" Rod Stewart... I could go on for days!!!!
Well I did some research a while ago and it turns out I have my own pretty bad ass song!!!! I came across Muddy Waters at a young age. I have some pretty awesome parents and lets just say they raised me right! (Especially in the music department.) As I became more and more interested I came across a song titled "Katie" off the Unk In Funk album. Such a great album!!!
I of course became addicted with "My Song"!!!! A perfect combination of funk and blues! I couldn't find a YouTube video to accompany today's post but click the link on the top and give it a listen!!!
Enjoy and have a great weekend!!!
