Music Monday

-





Today is Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year.  It is a day of prayer and private contemplation.  

The holiday has put me in a nostalgic mood.  So today’s blog hop theme is bringing back sweet memories.
This week's theme:
First Grade Songs – songs that were popular the year you were in first grade (or when you were 6 yrs old)

 Oooohh  .... 1966....

 (yes, I'm old...)
But it was a great year for music.

 The Beach Boys were surfing.






The Mamas and Papas were California Dreamin'








While Simon and Garfunkel were Homeward Bound




Tommy James gave us the Hanky Panky





And we will close it out with the Supremes

    I got y'all beat by 10 yrs. I'm older than dirt I think. hahaha I'M YOUNG AT HEART THOUGH FOR SURE. Guess being married to a guitar/singer player in a rock & roll band keeps me young! hahaha Luvin' Supremes tune haven't heard that one in a while. Holy Cow Hanky Panky that tune was cool back then. Great handful of tunes here my friend. Thanks for playin' along with us.

    You are no where near old, so let me say how young you made me feel. These are songs from when I was in middle school - part of the soundtrack of my life (as I like to call it). Two of my favs here - Good Vibrations (the instrumentation) and California Dreamin'(the harmonies). Thank you for making me feel young again. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Robin,

    Age is only a number, don't let it make you feel old yet! We have plenty of time ahead to call ourselves old. :) You really pulled together some excellent tunes from the 60s. I love all of the artists you picked, especially Simon & Garfunkel and Tommy James & the Shondells. My auntie and her first cousin, Charleen, (recently passed) used to listen to Dian Ross and the Supremes when I was little. They are about 10 years older than me and I always looked to them as big sisters. :) Get this, in case you didn't know, Mary Wilson one of the original Supremes is on this season of DWTS. For her age, she does a good job on the dance floor, too. She seems like a nice lady. :) Thanks for joining the 4M party and have a boogietastic week, my dear!

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.
