Lens-Artists Challenge #297: Music to my Eyes

I included the video in case you want to add it to your play list.
Have loved the Rolling Stones for most of my life. The first song I heard on the radio when I was around ten was Little Red Rooster. Dad always kept chooks for eggs and Sunday roast.
This was one of my early first bred rooster. My daughter named him Flaming Prince.

Another rhythm & blues as only the Stones could do. Out of Time an original Jagger/Richards composition

A rollicking tune that just flows along – Tumbling Dice

Sometimes you’ll find me Sitting on a Fence preferably not barbed wire. Eastern Rosellas don’t care. Not afraid to try something new, the Stones played acoustic guitars and no drums.

The dynamic changed when amazing guitarist Mick Taylor joined the line up. A driving beat to get you All Down the Line

Another laid back song. Now when it is performed on stage the age of the woman at the bar gets older. The Spider and The Fly

Make a wish

This one is a bit obvious but of course She’s a Rainbow

Never be in the same paddock as Wild Horses. This Rolling Stones song is a slow beautiful ballad

This is my guitar warm up song as I can play it any way I want from a rock to a real country style. Ronnie Wood replaced Mick Taylor when he reckoned being a Rolling Stone would kill him.
Just send me Dead Flowers to my weddin’………..

Everyone knows I am a Child of the Moon. This is the B Side of Jumping Jack Flash 45rpm single
“Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile”

I know I mostly end with a song and this post is full of songs, a lot of my favourites. I couldn’t include another of my childhood memory songs that sent me along the rock and roll life. Alas I don’t have a photo for so I am ending with a favourite from 1964. Under the Boardwalk

    1. Thanks Donna 🥰 The music is always here whether my tunes or the bird song.
      I was a bit oh what am I going to do 🤔 thousands of songs and photos to choose from so I made it simple. I love Wild Horses too 😀

  10. I just knew you’d rock this prompt! Great songs and great choices. I was born in ’64, so that’s one of my favorite songs too. I didn’t fall in love with the Rolling Stones until I was 18 though. Your daughter is clever too – that name is so fitting. All the bird photos are so colorful. I thought the Out of Time clock photo was a nice surprise in the collection. Well done, Brian!

    1. Thanks Shelley 🥰 I did have lots of fun once the cyclone of ideas settled onto one theme. Then the whittling down began or the post…..well you would still be reading it 😁
      I am glad I could pop in a surprise for you as well 😀

        1. Thanks Shelley. I write “composing” a post rather than curating? 🤔
          I guess the gathering of photos and music is curating but my words are composing. So my post is a blend of both. I find the word curating harsh as opposed to composing which to me is easy flowing.
          I might have sung a tune or two 😁

        2. You’re welcome. Yes, I can see that about composing – plus it fits ‘music’ better.
          It’s hard not to sing along, even if like me, someone who can’t carry a tune. 😆

  11. Wow Brian, you’ve outdone yourself and the rest of us this week! What a great idea to include the songs – well done. Loved that rainbow bird and while I knew most of the songs there were one or two that were new to me so kudos on that! When I was quite young I had a big fight with my older brother who loved the Stones and traded one of my horrible records (in hindsight!) for one of theirs. Of course he was SO right LOL. thanks for that funny memory.

    1. Thanks for a wow Tina 🥰 It was fun to compose and non-stop listening to Rolling Stones for the whole time, trying NOT to have more ideas.
      The Rainbow Lorikeet photo is a favourite.
      My elder sister bought home Beggars Banquet and that was it.
      My youngest daughter had a shrine to Keith Richards on one bedroom wall. Dad had to deal with the Blu-tack on the wall when she left the nest 🙄
      Glad to supply a memory for you too 👍😀
