For this week's blog hop, we're told to choose whatever songs we want.

Since Thursday is Valentine's Day, I've chosen some love songs.

Let's start with some Blondie:




And move on to Freddy Mercury -- yes, I love Queen.




How about some Styx?



And let's finish it off with some Fleetwood Mac




No, wait....let's do a bonus hit. 

How about some Barbra?

    Songbird,

    Styx was a favorite 70s band of mine and 'Lady' brings back fond memories...eh good feelings really. I don't have any particular memories tied to most past songs as I do emotions. I recall to listening to a lot of Fleetwood Mac's tunes on the airwave as a young teen which includes your song feature this morning. Streisand was big back in the day but I never really got into her mewsic. I think of her more as an actress instead of a singer. Have you seen Meet the Fockers? She plays Ben Stiller's mother in the film. The whole series is great fun! Thanks for boogieing with the 4M gang this week. Have a songtastic week, my friend!

    I really like Styx in the 80s.Same with Fleetwood Mac: their 70s discography was amazing but I love thei80s' stuff recently. I love Lindsey's "Go Insane" album and Fleetwood Mac's "Tango in the Night" (which was suppose to be Lindsey' next album but it became the band's). Thanks for the listens!

    I saw the Fleetwood Mac song and it didn't sound familiar, so I played it. I never knew the name of it, mostly because I was too busy changing stations when it came on. I have to admit, I haven't been much of a FM fan since Peter Green left. Apart from that (hey, they can't always be winners), this is a good bunch of songs. My wife saw Styx when they were still doing high school dances in Chicago. Barbra Streisand has a good voice, but her songs in the late '70's were a little morose. Then again, a lot of songs in the late '70's were morose...

    Good set!

    Some more songs I hadn't heard in years. Always been a Blondie fan. They look so young here.

    I loved these tunes, especially Styx! But all of your song choices were really good. Happy Music Monday!

    I have neglected the 70's for years in favor of the 80;s but I've been listening to some Styx recently and am rediscovering them. And many may disagree with me, but "Evergreen" is one of my favorite Streisand songs. Great set! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Ahh Barbara Streisand. I wonder where she is now and what she is doing.
    Thanks for rocking.

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.
