Music Monday

-

Today  I begin this month as honorary co hostess of this blog hop.  That means I get to pick our themes.  So on this American Independence Day, we will celebrate with freedom of choice.

One of my regrets is a concert I did not attend.  September 19, 1981, Simon and Garfunkel had a reunion concert in Central Park.  A group of my friends went to the concert, but I did not.  I was recovering from mono at the time,  my doctor told me I shouldn’t go … I listened to my doctor, and have regretted it ever since.

So today let’s celebrate the music of Simon and Garfunkel.

The Sound of Silence 


  

The Boxer


  

Bridge Over Troubled Water



  

Hazy Shade of Winter



  

I Am A Rock


  

Scarborough Fair




  

Mrs. Robinson




America

    What a pleasant surprise it was coming to your post today. I'm sorry you missed the concert, but this set brought back so many memories of my teenaged years. I Am A Rock was the anthem of my teenaged angst (I even bought the 45) and later bought two of their albums. The Art Garfunkel solo on America was incredible. I still think enough of us are out there looking for America. Thank you. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    I've always enjoyed S&G. It would've been cool to have seen them in concert but somethings take priority. The good thing you can enjoy their music anytime and you picked some of their greatest hits for us to boogie to on the dance floor. Thanks for filling in this month as honorary co-hostess, my friend. Have a boogietastic week!

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
