ABC Award!!!!
So my friend over at Beautiful Photographs nominated me for this award. In return I have to prove that I know the alphabet by thinking of a word for each letter.
I haven’t been real good about replying to awards. Don’t get me wrong- it’s not that I’m not grateful. It’s just that I don’t want to impress you with my awards. I want to impress you with my words and pictures. But a friend showed me I could look at this differently- as a chance to introduce you to some friends whose blogs I follow.
So I thought I’d respond by tying my words to songs!
A- Albatross (Fleetwood Mac)
B- Bodhisattva (Steely Dan)
C- Candy (Nat King Cole)
D- Dogs (Pink Floyd)
E- Elenore (The Turtles)
F- Fire (Jimi Hendrix)
G- Gypsy (Fleetwood Mac)
H- Help! (The Beatles)
I- Intuition (Jewel)
J- Jet (Paul McCartney and Wings)
K- Kite (U2)
L- Layla (Derek and the Dominoes)
M- Money (Pink Floyd)
N- Neon (John Mayer)
O- Odorono (The Who)
P- Porcelain (Moby)
Q- Question (The Moody Blues)
R- Ramrod (Bruce Springsteen)
S- Sailing (Christopher Cross)
T- Time (The Alan Parsons Project)
U- Under Pressure (Queen with David Bowie)
V- Vaseline (Stone Temple Pilots)
W- War (Edwin Starr)
X- Xanadu (Rush)
Y- Yummy Yummy Yummy (Ohio Express)
Z- Zebulon (Rufus Wainwright)
Now, here’s a few blogs to check out:

February 3, 2012 at 12:39 PM
Congratulations on your award Rumpy – but I’m far more impressed that you were able to find a song for every letter of the alphabet. That takes determination, but I know you have lots of that.
February 3, 2012 at 10:27 PM
Oh, I’m just a music hound is all!
February 3, 2012 at 12:40 PM
Congratulations on your peer recognition! I can’t believe all the work you did to look up links for every letter this way. That’s so awesome! I the love generic Soda bottle in Intuition.
February 3, 2012 at 10:27 PM
I have a wealth of information about music! And I’m a pretty good singer too. woo woo woo!
February 3, 2012 at 12:52 PM
Congratulations for your award Rumpy ! Well done with the song titles too. But I agree with Lindy, the best part is your picture at the end ♥
February 3, 2012 at 10:22 PM
I do look good, don’t I? *wink*
February 3, 2012 at 1:33 PM
Rumpy, you be DEE MAN! You rock, fella! I can see someone (we won’t say who) giving their age away just a tad with all of this Queen and The Who and Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd in the alphabet soup! Love it, just love it!
February 3, 2012 at 10:21 PM
Now granbee, ya can’t expect a dog with exacting standards like me to hang with young human…. they don’t have the time for me!
February 3, 2012 at 1:47 PM
Love it! (Except maybe for your ‘W’ choice–I mean, Good God, what is it good for?)
February 3, 2012 at 10:19 PM

Wow! you did fantastic thinking of song titles for every letter of the alphabet. Congratulations on the award. Thank for sharing with us…we don’t know if we can think of enough words to do this or not. We are far, far behind with posts on awards but we will get caught up one day and we will do our best to try to get those words. Hugs and nose kisses
February 3, 2012 at 10:13 PM
Yeah, me too! woo woo woo!

Congratulations on another award, Rumpy!! Woo woo woo!! You were very smart to know all those songs! Although you do seem to sing on Twitter–or Jen? Or both?! xx Berner Girls
February 4, 2012 at 1:16 AM
Wow, to find all the songs and then put it all here? Dude, you are one awesome, talented blogger!
