Music Monday: HOBnobbing with Sweet Caroline

First off, I think it’s only fair to tell you that I am NOT a Neil Diamond fan at all.  Not in the least!  BUT, every time I hear this song, it grows on me, especially when it conjures memories of good times and great friends.

 

Saturday night, we celebrated my hubby’s birthday with friends at one of our favorite watering hole, the House of Brews, which we’ve nicknamed “The HOB”.  On Saturday nights, there’s a decent guitarist and he always includes Sweet Caroline in his set.  Of course, the crowd (mostly made up of us) can’t resist belting out “BA BA BA” in the chorus.  It’s “SO GOOD! SO GOOD SO GOOD” and so much fun to be loud and obnoxious with your friends!

On another note, I want to thank everyone for linking up and participating in Music Monday with Run DMT for the past month.  Next week, October rolls in and I am ready to sink my teeth into Halloween.  So for the next four weeks, I will be sharing my favorite Halloween tunes. Share your favorite spine tingling tunes too, if you dareMuhahahahahaha!

    Sounds like a fun birthday. Hau`oli La Hanau to your husband 🙂 I really like Neil Diamond. He isn’t someone that I would listen to all the time but I’ve always liked his voice. Great choice. 🙂 Have a great week ahead 🙂

    Sweet Ca-ro-line…. that’s the only part of the song I know 🙂 I like his voice though. That looks like a nice birthday party. Happy birthday to your husband.

    Looks like everyone had a great time celebrating your hubby’s birthday! Happy (belated) Birthday to him! 🙂

    I’m not a huge fan of Neil Diamond, either – but like you, this song always grows on me every time I hear it! 🙂

    glad you put in the preamble….
    the ladies look like they are certainly enjoying themselves…the guys (except for the one in the middle) look like they’re having one last drink before heading back to prison…maybe it’s a reaction to Neil Diamond?????

    There are some of his songs I like and yes it’s great fun to be loud and having fun with your friends!

    Happy Belated birthday to your love.

    Have a great week! Thanks for this sweet memory! 🙂
