Music Monday

-


Taking a break from my Florida travelogue -- there'll be another post later today -- it's time for Music Monday.

Today's theme:

April showers bring May flowers’ (songs about spring, rain, flowers, or even actual showers where you get clean.

 We start with  a classic:

It's all right..

And next we have the Cowsills.



A little CCR is always nice:




And we'll close it out with some Tom Petty:

    Great songs and I guess we both have a wonderful mind as we both picked "Wildflowers" by Tom Petty.

    SCW,

    You and I shared the same song (The Rain, The Park and Other Things) today. After a good rain, we all like to say, 'Here Comes the Sun'. Great song choice! CCR song is a classic and I love it and with all this rain, those 'Wildflowers' are goin' look awfully pretty.

    Thanks for hitting the 4M dance floor today, my friend. Have a boogietastic week! ;)

    If I hadn't been doing A to Z (and needing songs beginning with "A") I definitely would have done "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", one of my favorite CCR songs (what a baseline!) and The Cowsills, another favorite song. You put together a nice set. Happy you are continuing to join in on our Monday music fun, Songbird! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

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

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
