Saturday 9- I'm Moving On

Saturday 9: I'm Moving On (1965)
 
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.


1) In this song, Chyvonne Scott sings that she's sick of her lover's "conniving." Tell us about a time you felt deceived. (It doesn't have to involve romance.)  I try to put things like that out of my mind.  I cannot think of one.  It has happened though.

2) She realizes it's time to move on to another love. What's your favorite love song? Is it about a relationship that's running smoothly? Or is it like "I'm Moving On," about an unhappy love affair?  I am having trouble thinking of one right now, I always had favorites when I was in high school, but I cannot remember the names of them.  I like happy songs.

3) Though Chyvonne Scott enjoyed only limited success as a recording artist, she was very popular in New York clubs. When did you most recently listen to music performed live?  We do not get to do this very often.  I can't even remember!

4) In 2017, this song appeared on a Samsung commercial that poked fun at rival iPhone. Is your cell phone an Apple or Android? How did you choose your phone?  We have Samsung Galaxy phones (android) and my husband went and picked them out many years ago, I wasn't even with him.  I didn't care, I just wanted a smartphone.  Our son has always had an iphone.  He insists on having apple technology.  When we upgrade we keep our Samsung's and he keeps his iphone.

5) Chyvonne is an unusual name. In 1965, when this song was first released, the most popular baby names in the US were Michael and Lisa. Do you have any Michaels or Lisas in your life?  I have a couple of Michael's, but no Lisa's.  There were so many when I was younger, it isn't like those people are not around anymore....I just do not see them anymore.  Even my name (Lori) is not a common name anymore...BUT...there are several Lori's where I work and I just love that.  It makes me sad that my name is not popular anymore.

6) Also in 1965, Winston Churchill died. In researching this week's Sat. 9, Sam discovered a Churchill quote that's new to her: "I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught." Share something interesting that you recently learned.  My son is trying to help me find books.  I am wanting to read some easy, but really good fiction books and he is trying to help.  I like books that are harder to read, but right now, I just want an easy quick read.  If you know of any...drop the title and author in the comments!  I will write them down and look for them.  I really need to read more and I want to read more. I just pick the wrong books.  It needs to capture my attention right away.  Josh also shows me really great older movies.

7) In 1965, one of the most successful movies ever made, The Sound of Music, was released. Have you ever seen it?  Yes, I love it.

8) Lava lamps were already popular in England and Brussels, but in 1965 they were introduced in the US. Do you think lava lamps are cool? I love them, I think they are super relaxing to watch.

9) Random question -- You have to buy something very personal that you find embarrassing. Would you rather pay cash for it, so your identity would be unknown but you'd have to face the cashier? Or order it online, where you could avoid looking anyone in the eye, but you have to share your name and address?  I do not buy anything that embarrassing, so I guess I would buy it in person.  It really does depend on the convenience though, if I am going to have to drive a while for something I will order it online.
