  In honor of Christopher Columbus, build a playlist of Italian artists/bands. 


So many to choose from …


Let’s start with Bon Jovi

  

Lou Christie


  

Frankie Avalon


  Connie Francis


  

Madonna

  

Gwen Stefani


And let’s switch gears for a moment as we remember the remarkable career of Angela Lansbury.  I had the pleasure of seeing her in The Best Man.  


  

So many roles, so many moments.  But her best?

    Robin,

    Many of your Italian artists I didn't know they were Italian until today. You did a great job with your picks. 👍👍

    I heard about Angela Lansbury's passing over the weekend. How nice of you to pay a musical tribute to her. She was a very talented lady. I only know her work from TV.

    Have a boogietastic week, my dear!

    Nice selection, and also, tribute to Angela Lansbury. I knew Ms. Lansbury from Murder She Wrote (I'm not a Broadway type person) and I'm hearing her voice for possibly the first time. What a talent she was. Enjoyed your playlist. I didn't know about Lou Christie until I researched my post - great minds. To hear Connie Francis again! I never listened to No Doubt, so the Gwen Stefani song was new to me. 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

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.
