 Another “your choice” week.


At the beginning of the month I mentioned that my daughter loves fantasy, magic and fairytales.


She gets it from her mother.


I’m a geek, a nerd, a lover of all things magical and mystical.






Lately I’ve been obsessed with dragons.


So I’ve put together a play list, songs about dragons.


Let's start with a song by Don McLean.  I don't know the movie that he wrote it for but the song is pretty.




I remember seeing, and loving, the original Shrek.  Never saw any of the sequels.  As I recall, there's a wonderful dragon in that movie...



You know there has to be a Disney song in here somewhere



And some Celtic music



Or some Finnish power metal







Some Scottish music




And  you have to include  some Game of Thrones



And Harry Potter



My daughters loved Quest for Camelot



How To Train Your Dragon



More Disney



Some Ed Sheeran




But we have to close it out with Peter, Paul and Mary

    Robin,

    Dragons wouldn't be a prompt I'd think of for music and I would've never thought there were this many but you came up with some excellent, mostly new-to-me music picks. Thanks for sharing these discoveries. It was great having you co-host 4M this month. You did a fab job and we'll look forward to having you on board again, my friend. Have a boogietastice week! 😘

    What a collection from various genres. The only song I knew was Puff the Magic Dragon. I liked the first "Pete's Dragon" instrumental and also the music from Game of Thrones (which I have never seen). I've read some of Anne McCaffery Dragonriders of Pern series over the years, but it's been a while. 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

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.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
