HAVE YOU HAD A BUSY DAY, LITTLE MAN? THEN IT'S TIME TO RELAX AND LET ALL YOUR WORRIES MELT AWAY...


It's been mostly a warm sunny day today, a bit overcast at times, but at its best the type of day that would've benefitted from a nice cool breeze.  Well, here's the aural equivalent of such a breeze, delivered by the man with one of the greatest voices ever to grace the planet - Jim Reeves.  The song is called Crying Is My Favourite Mood, but you won't be crying after listening to it, no sirree.  You'll be sighing with pleasure and more relaxed than Mr. Relaxed, of Relaxed Street, Relaxedville.  Don't take my word for it, give it a listen.  And don't miss the nod to Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue at the end.

  1. No comments, Jim? Don't worry - they're probably just rendered speechless by your great singing.

  2. Brought back memories of my Dad...he was a great Jim Reeves fan. "I Love you Because" and "Distant Drums" come to mind as favourites. Any idea why the Rhapsody In Blue bar at the end of this song?

  3. Probably because people who are crying can be said to be 'blue'. Am I clever or what?
