songbird's crazy world

 And the theme? Wimbeldon kicks off soon. Let a tennis star, the game, England, or  traditions  guide you in your music discovery picks! Hmmmm… British Invasion music, anyone? We start with the Beatles, of course. Or maybe you prefer the Stones The Kinks The Who The Animals The Yardbirds  The Hollies The Zombies  And finally, one of my favorites  Yes, that’s Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits. And some fan video

 We went to Jones Beach Friday night, took a great walk on the boardwalk.  The first of many this summer, I hope. I took a walk in the neighborhood Saturday afternoon and saw a bunny.  Drew tells me he saw our bunny Friday, he needed something from the backyard shed and the bunny watched him retrieve it.  But sadly, I found a robin’s egg in the lawn.  It was under the bird house, Cracked, so it won’t hatch.  Sad.   Last night was the first performance of Yeoman of the Guard,  one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s lesser-known works.  There are two more performances next weekend (Drew opted out of today’s performance because today is Father’s Day.) Drew is a yeoman in the ensemble but also has a small role as a priest.  I man the box office and sell refreshments. Today’s activities include brunch at  Rothman’s .  I haven’t been there in years, but as I recall, the brunch is incredible. Later Drew and I might head to the movies. Drew’s ...

  The Men in My Little Girl's Life 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 memes, however, and here is today's meme! Saturday 9: The Men in My Little Girl's Life (1965)     Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Chosen for Father's Day. 1) In this song, a father shares the story of his daughter's life through first the boys, then the men, she brought home. The first is Rod, a little kid who wants to play in the backyard. Who were your playmates when you were young? Did you find it more fun to have them over to your home, or to go to theirs? I have three younger sisters,I th...

Just hanging out.  

 So yeah, Knicks in 5.  The parade will be Thursday.  Chaos in lower Manhattan. I will not be there.  And yeah, I’m really enjoying our patio; nice place to hang out for a couple of hours. But there’s absolutely no shade on the patio, so we’re going to need a canopy  if we’re having a barbecue. And we are planning one for July 4.  So we ordered a canopy, one that comes with mosquito netting.   The New York political primaries are June 23.  Early voting has started.  Drew and I voted yesterday, in the same building where they’re handing out community pool passes.  The pools open Friday.  I can’t wait! Meanwhile I a still  obsessing over yoga.  I’ve found several yoga channels on YouTube that I am really liking. Namaste.

 Your choice again... ...so today I choose Fleetwood Mac. The Rumours album was one of my favorites.  Released in 1977, the music evokes memories of my junior and senior years of high school. I must have played that album until the vinyl wore out.   I finally got to see Fleetwood Mac in concert in 2013, at Jones Beach.  Great show.   So here are some of my favorites from Fleetwood Mac. And my absolute favorite -- how can you resist Stevie Nicks singing about a breakup with her lover while said lover accompanies her on the guitar?
