Moody Manitoba Morning

I have lived in Manitoba for most of my life. As a kid (like most kids) living in a small town was excruciating - I had to explore! I had to get out and see things - experience life.

After doing that (and hating it most of it) I returned to Manitoba. I feel comfortable here - it's home and always will be. I can handle the winter - I don't mind the cold as long as I don't have to be in it (outdoors) long term. When summer hits, I'm all about the yard party.

Others feel that way about where they are, and will defend their choices about where they live too. Feel free to inhabit any part of the earth you wish, people - as long as you're happy there!

The point I'm trying to make here is the bus driver.......

I had to, I'm sorry. The look on your face was priceless.....

So our bus driver was telling me (during a rain shower I'm certain) about a song that someone had written years ago called, 'Moody Manitoba Morning.' I giggled and asked if he was serious - he was.

It turns out my province is quite famous for this song - and I have never heard of it.

He couldn't remember the name of the singer and I promised I would look into it and get back to him. In the meantime, I have fallen victim to that 'end of school don't really make much effort' mom syndrome and I never bothered to Google it.....until today.

Now I am really giggling!

So, Mr. Bus Driver Extraordinaire - here is 'Moody Manitoba Morning' - my focus was on the song, but someone added some Manitoba photos to it and now it is a video. the singers?

THE BELLS! Phew! I managed to pull it all off before the end of the school year too.

 

 

The singer reminds me of the old Woolworth's commercials where they used that Carpenter's song.....'every sha-la-la-la....every woooaaahhhhh'....you get the idea.

The video has some interesting Manitoba sites on it too - enjoy!

Rock your day!
