And this week's theme:

Songs about Family or Siblings

Well, I have three sisters, so....







Great song from White Christmas, I just love Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen.  

But the lip synced version by Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby was hysterical:



The disco era brought us this hit:





Elton John sings about his "brother" Daniel:




And Night Ranger sang about "Sister Christian"





And let's go dancing with the Kinks:




And close it out with Neil Diamond:

    Robin,

    I only have one sister. My late brother's wife I don't consider a sister anymore and it has nothing to do with his death. I consider many of my bloggy female friends as sisters and I have plenty of them, including you. ;) I like your take on this week's theme. I love the song "Sisters" from White Christmas. That's such a fun song but when Bing and Danny Kay performs Rosemary & Vera-Ellen's routine making for a hilarious scene. I love that old movie and am looking forward to watching it this coming Christmas season!! Thanks for Come Dancing with the 4M gang today, my dear. Have a boogietastic week. Stay safe and healthy now! ;)

    "White Christmas" was a great movie. Danny Kaye was one of the funniest men around, and I have a special place in my heart for Rosemary Clooney. Great set!

    Who would have thought of White Christmas? Not me, certainly. Loved those blue boas and Bing and Danny's lip sync. The other songs are all old favs and you picked a couple of the same ones I did because...great minds! Enjoyable set. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    What a great bunch of tunes you have put together from Bing Crosby & Danny Kaye to Neil Diamond. You go girl. I love White Christmas & yes every single tune in this wonderful movie! Danny Kaye played in another movie which is a favorite is Hans Christian Anderson. Great job my friend, great job!

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

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.
