Top 5 Tuesday: April Songs

1. April Showers
2. Pennies from Heaven
3. Nothing Could be Finer
4. When It's Springtime in the Rockies
5. I'll Be with You in Apple Blossom Time

I totally understand there are lots of songs speaking of April such as "April in Paris", "When April Comes Again", "April Fool", "April Love" and probably several more.  I like to use these five songs as they are much more familiar and lead to nice discussions. With April Showers, there are flowers included: daffodils. With Pennies from Heaven, asking if you'd pick up a penny and the significance of "heads up" or "tails up" and superstitions. Nothing Could be Finer or Carolina in the Morning, has a wish at the end stimulating conversations of what one wish would you make. Springtime in the Rockies is just a lovely Spring tune speaking of the season. For some reason, Apple Blossom Time is a favorite as well around this time. I would consider it more a "May" song, but the blossoms definitely are starting and leads to good conversations about what else is blooming.
