And still more ramblings

 The drones over Long Island garnered a front page headline in Newsday. 


The governor is looking for federal legislation to protect our airspace.  An airport in Orange County was shut down  for an hour Friday night because of a drone.

Oh, and it looks like Mariah Carey canceled her concert,

Fortunately Peter Noone’s concert at Westbury Music Fair proceeded as scheduled Friday night.  The Buckinghams opened the show.










Sorry, no fan video — YouTube blocked it all because of copyright laws.  I think they’re really cracking down. 

We went back Saturday night to see Micky Dolenz of the Monkees. Didn’t even try to take video, but I got a few photos of Micky and his sister Coco.







Coco did two solos to open the show. Micky told stories about his career and sang …

Ran into some friends while we were there.  Not unexpectedly, they’re big Monkees fans.

Before the show we went to Ben’s Kosher Deli for a late lunch/early dinner. The website has a listing of all of their gluten-free options.  I had a pastrami sandwich on gluten-free bread with a side of potato salad. I was a bit jealous of Drew’s potato knish; the gluten-free version I have in my freezer is ok but not as good as the real deal.

Today we’re going to the movies. More about that later …

    Yep, youtube started blanking out almost all music in the videos including my son singing songs.
    I'm thinking the drone deal is a nothingburger.
    We saw Wicked, the movie, the other day. Great movie but I had forgotten it is just part 1, kind of letdown.

Music Monday

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 ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
