    Nice choices! "Mary Poppins" was a great movie and Julie Andrews was in especially fine form when it came out (and I remember going to see it when it came out...)

    Thank you for joining us and your musical choices are very pleasant for the soul and on the ears. Many I haven't heard in a long time and so happy you've chosen. Mary Poppins was a favorite movie of mine if only for the tunes, and Dan Fogelberg although new to me I really liked his song, a nice upbeat tune! Now Streisand's version is so very pretty. Thanks for joining us and I hope you can make it again soon! hugs Enjoy your day!

    All good songs, but I was so fascinated by the Mary Poppins clip. Where do I begin? Stuff I never would have noticed as a kid. An American Robin (I'm not a birder but that was obvious). But how they manupulate the robin once he perched on Mary's fingers is a mystery because of the bird's body language, fanning out its tail feathers for balance when she moved the bird - how did they do that in the era before CGI? That couldn't have been a real bird - she was even petting the bird's stomach and birds don't like to be touched all that much. I'm more impressed by that than the ability to clean the house by snapping her fingers! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

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...
