And today's topic?

Songs about the end of Summer

Well, this summer never really got started...and now it's over.

Sigh.

As they say in baseball, "wait until next year."

So...the music.

These folks had a great summer,,,



I had a huge crush on Travolta back in the day.

More nostalgia for summers past:




And some Don Henley:




Let's go First Class




A classic




And we close it out with Chad and Jeremy

    Robin,

    I can't believe it's the last day of August. Fall is close on our heels. I know my northern furriends aren't too excited about the seasonal change because that means Old Man Winter follows afterward and sometimes he has a way of jumping the gun. The year is also moving by at an alarming rate. There's no slowing it down. I think I'll be happy when this year is gone, though. It's been a hard one. I'm ready to hit reset for us to have a better new year than this at the stroke of midnight on December 31st, aren't you? Great song set! My favorite is Frank Sinatra, "The Things We Did Last Summer", very pretty! It's great having you on the dance floor. Have a boogietastic week. Stay safe and be well, my dear! {{hugs}}

    A great selection of songs today! I especially like the Chad & Jeremy song, always one of my favorites.

    A great set. I had forgotten all about First Class; it was nice hearing that song again. But best of all was A Summer Song (which I had on my blog, also) because that song is the very definition of the end of summer. Summer has ended in upstate New York; today was our first day of the upcoming seasonal gloom. But autumn leaves must fall.... Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    We enjoyed your playlist, Songbird, it was very varied. Our favourite is Brian Adams and the Beach Baby was so seventies ;) 😸Swinging Pawkisses for a Happy Wednesday🐾😽💞

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.
