Good Morning!

Welcome to Morning Open Thread, with daily posts from a MOTley crew of hosts who choose their own topics from a wide-open range: often music or poetry, sometimes history — anything and everything from Apples to Zoology! We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in our open forum. That’s a feature, not a bug. Other than that, site rulz rule. Meanwhile, grab your cuppa, and join in!

This an open thread and you’re welcome to stop to say hello, check in on the motley crew, join the motley crew (no secret handshake required ) and if inclined join in with the theme.

Or not! We are easy like that.

Theme

Hey all. Yep it’s me, and it’s not a Tuesday. And not being a Tuesday you are about to be treated to a single song and a mission.

The mission is to share some songs or artists you think of now that you’ve seen this one.

Alabama Shakes – Hold On

A co-worker sent me a link to this video when it first came out and I thought it was great. Still do.

The band split for a bit while doing solo work – but are back together (minus the original drummer) touring in support of a new album.

Heath Fogg – lead guitar, backing vocals (2009–2018; 2024–present)

Brittany Howard – lead vocals, rhythm guitar (2009–2018; 2024–present)
