Welcome to "The Guest" Jingle Jangle Jungle’s Guest Blogger Series Week 36 Today's Guest is: Katrina Rees Hey everyone! My name is Katrina, I’m 24 years old and live in Wales, UK. I work as a Charity Shop Manager but in my spare time I travel the country, going to different gigs and supporting my favourite bands and singers. Music is my number one passion in life and I’ve loved listening to it from an early age. I started blogging over a year ago now and I love writing about my little adventures so that I have something to look back on in years to come. My other hobby is reading and I occasionally write guest reviews on my friend’s book blog too. I’m really happy to be a part of Jingle Jangle Jungle’s Guest Blog Series and I hope you enjoy reading this post!

"Back in Black" is a song by AC/DC, appearing as the first track on side two of their 1980 album of the same name. Known for its opening guitar riff, the song was AC/DC's tribute to their former singer Bon Scott. His replacement Brian Johnson recalled to Mojo magazine in 2009 that when the band asked him to write a lyric for this song, "they said, 'it can't be morbid – it has to be for Bon and it has to be a celebration.'" He added: "I thought, 'Well no pressure there, then' (laughs). I just wrote what came into my head, which at the time seemed like mumbo, jumbo. 'Nine lives. Cats eyes. Abusing every one of them and running wild.' The boys got it though. They saw Bon's life in that lyric."

Annie Lynn, President of AnnieBirdd Music, LLC, began writing songs when she was 14 years old, while acting in Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer’s Night Dream” with the Germantown Theater Guild in Philadelphia. Asked to write “a nature song” by the show’s director, Annie wrote “Listen,” and the song and the show were subsequently filmed and shown on CBS. “I remember being this excited 14 year old kid, so psyched that the first song I had ever written was on TV,” Annie reflects now. “If someone had told me that 30 years later, I’d be recording that song with my own child, I would have laughed! Now I have whole communities of school-aged children singing my own choruses back at me, and it really is a great feeling….”
