Music Monday

This week’s theme?  Marie at XmasDolly suggested that we come up with songs about winter, cold weather sports, or snuggling up with friends. It’s just around the corner folks!


I’m not particularly fond of winter, so …



  



But I think we can manage a few happier songs …

    Love these although I couldn't play the 2nd song since I'm in Canada. I have to see that film with that "Baby, it's cold outside" song. Love Betty Garrett and Red Skelton. She always played a gal wanting a man. Ricardo is so food in this...who knew he would be Mr. Roarke.

    I love the three vintage picks at the end! It's never too soon to pull out these fun, secular Christmas tunes. :) Thanks for joining the party, my dear. Have a boogietastic week! xo

    Although we chose some of the same songs, you made my day with The Boxer and Button Up Your Overcoat. I had to sing along to The Boxer! But as much as I enjoyed the oldies, I also enjoyed Jimmy Buffet. Just the thing to cheer up a dreary, rainy turning to snow in the near future type of day.

 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
