Music Monday -- songbirds part 2
Continuing the "songbird" theme from a few weeks ago, here's Dan Fogelberg:
I love how Mary Poppins is singing to a robin:
Let's fly with the Steve Miller Band:
And for today's finale:
It’s all coming back to me now
So you should know that I am not a “shopper”. I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall, 15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall. I prefer to shop on line. And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible. I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain, Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes. They’re primarily in Manhattan. A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty. I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou
Very nice songs. Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the 4M crew on the dance floor this week with 'your choice song picks'. While you're visiting, you may want to check out today's A2Z Little Mermaid art sketch series ‘Grimsby’! ;)
ReplyDeleteNice choices! "Mary Poppins" was a great movie and Julie Andrews was in especially fine form when it came out (and I remember going to see it when it came out...)
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us and your musical choices are very pleasant for the soul and on the ears. Many I haven't heard in a long time and so happy you've chosen. Mary Poppins was a favorite movie of mine if only for the tunes, and Dan Fogelberg although new to me I really liked his song, a nice upbeat tune! Now Streisand's version is so very pretty. Thanks for joining us and I hope you can make it again soon! hugs Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteAll good songs, but I was so fascinated by the Mary Poppins clip. Where do I begin? Stuff I never would have noticed as a kid. An American Robin (I'm not a birder but that was obvious). But how they manupulate the robin once he perched on Mary's fingers is a mystery because of the bird's body language, fanning out its tail feathers for balance when she moved the bird - how did they do that in the era before CGI? That couldn't have been a real bird - she was even petting the bird's stomach and birds don't like to be touched all that much. I'm more impressed by that than the ability to clean the house by snapping her fingers! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
