Music Monday

 Before we get into the theme …


The first time I saw Jimmy Buffett live and in concert was in 2009.  I won tickets to his show at Madison Square Garden.  I was hooked.  He played Jones Beach every summer, and we saw him there many times.  His music was the soundtrack to our  Caribbean vacations.  He didn’t tour this summer, so I kind of knew he was ill.  I feel like I’ve lost a friend.


  



And now let’s move in to today’s theme.

And the theme?  Songs with September in the name.


First one that comes to mind is


  

And Neil Diamond 

  

I’ve liked Daughtry since his American Idol days


  

A hit from 1966


  

Had to include Jerry Orbach 




And we close it out with Green Day

    The Neil Diamond song is popular today. The Try to Remember song was the first one to pop into my head.

    Great Jimmy Buffet song - I love any song with steel drums in it. Also enjoyed your September playlist (am I surprised that you would include Try to Remember?) Wake Me Up When September Ends is one of Green Day's best songs and they have (in my opinion) a lot of great songs.

      John, it’s very different from everything else in the play list. But you have to realize I’m not just into rock, I also love Broadway. Orbach was big on Broadway well before Law & Order and Dirty Dancing. His first major role was in The Fantasticks. He played El Gallo and introduced “Try to Remember” to the world.

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
