SEASON 434 - GROUNDHOG YEAR
Good morning, afternoon and evening everybody! So… last July Lynda (bird’s eye view of my ukulele) and I co-hosted Season 388 together, and had a blast doing it. And now we’ve decided to have another go in the hope that you all might enjoy it too this time! ;-)
Now you may be a little puzzled by the title of this week’s theme – it’s derived from the title of a 1993 film (Groundhog Day), starring Bill Murray as a cynical TV weatherman covering an annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, who becomes trapped in a time loop forcing him to endlessly repeat the day of February 2.
So for Season 434 we are going to musically trap you in a time loop, forcing you to endlessly repeat the year of your choice. In other words, you can only play songs that were written and/or recorded and/or released in that one specific year. You must choose and state that year in the written post with your first entry and stick to it for the rest of the week, restating the year in the text of each subsequent post for your hosts’ convenience please. But do not deviate from that one same year or I’ll set Lynda on you! Get it? Good!!!
Originals are welcome, but they must have a connection to your year of choice - for example an event that happened to you (births, deaths, marriages, meetings etc), or a significant national or world event from that particular year. That should give you plenty of scope.
Collaborations (from the year chosen by at least one of the collaborators) and multitracking are welcome, as are other instruments – but ukulele must be in the mix somewhere!
THERE IS NO SONG LIMIT!
The season starts at 12.01am Hawaiian time Sunday 7th June and ends at 11.59pm Sunday 14th. Both Lynda and I will invoke the host’s privilege and post one song each below as an example of what we need - everyone else will have to wait until the official starting time!
THERE WILL BE PRIZES! We will each choose our 3 favourite entries (yes that’s 6 altogether!), and the winners will receive a prize - details of which can be discovered in the short video below:
Winners will be announced in the wraps within a few days of the end of the Season.
Most of all……. HAVE FUN!
Lynda will be managing the playlist this time, but I will add a link to it here when it’s up and running.
Edit: here it is -
PLAYLIST
And don’t forget Val’s relatively wonderful season 433 still has another day and a bit to run - so please don’t neglect her!
