 Sorry, I’m just not feeling this week’s theme, though I’d love to see what everyone did with it.


I’m still on a high from last night’s Tony Awards.


So forgive my self indulgence, but I’m going with a Broadway theme today.


West Side Story



 Chicago




Hairspray 



Wicked 






Yes, that was from last night’s show.


One of my favorites from Hamilton







Let’s close it out with a classic.

    It's all good! No one is going to kick you out of the group. I'm not big into Broadway, until I think of some of my favorite music over the years. Climb Ev'ry Mountain, Edelweiss, The Music of the Night, Seasons of Love, You'll Never Walk Alone, yes, please! One of my cousins in Brooklyn is a big Broadway fan so she would know the currently popular songs. I'm more into (mostly) the older ones. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Robin,

    Sometimes themes are tricky and even though I came up with this one, I found it challenging. I'm glad you decided to hit the dance floor with your Broadway themed songs. It's nice to sample music across the genres. When I was a kid, I loved West Side Story. It's interesting while I watched the video of these street tough kids and thought, how can I take these guys serious dancing, you know? It's almost made me laugh but then that's a musical for ya. :) Great sounds from some of the most recognizable Broadway productions! 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

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.
