Welcome to Monday’s Music Moves Me! I threw out two music prompts to inspire ya. I hope it helped. I’m going to be the odd one and if you’re on the same page as me, then we’ll just stick out like two sore thumbs together.
In today’s line up, I’m sharing with you the 1970 album, Friendly Strangers by The Ides of March.
At first, I thought this was a new discovery until I got to track three. I recognized it immediately, but I’m not sure if it’s this version or another I remember.
Now what about the calendar event known as “Ides of March”, what’s that all about? I looked this up before but forgot. It’s basically marks the mid-point of the month and is historically marked by the turning point for the Roman empire with the assassination of Julius Caesar. What contrasting figures we recognize this month, Caesar, a dictator – self serving, and St Patrick, a man of God – serving others.
Everyone has time restraints. Please if you can, when you add your link to make an honest effort to visit, comment, or click ‘like” to let your bloggy friend know you stopped by. For some a small gesture means a lot.
At the moment, I do not have a “like” button. Feel free to drop an emoji in comments, no words needed so I’ll know to do a return visit.
Are you ready? It’s now your turn to share what music moves you!
This is a rework of my 2020 Irish Lass vintage pinup girl I drew for the A2Z Challenge. I really like the changes and improvements.
I apologize for the added fluff, but I couldn’t resist trying it in Brushstrokes.

Before I go I wanted to share with you something DH shared with me last year, an image of a giant Celtic cross in the Donegal Forest in Ireland. You can read more about this interesting landscape at IrishCentral.
I’ll wind things down with another playlist by Ides of March. Enjoy and have a boogietastic week!
