Music Monday

The blog hop theme this week is:  your choice. 


I seem to have exhausted by "songbirds" vanity topic, so I guess it's time to move on to something else. 

How about the music I listened to in college?

I had this album on vinyl, I recorded it on a cassette tape and played it over and over.  One of my favoites from the album:


(yeah, I know, Long Islanders and Billy Joel....)

I was still in high school when  Rumors was released, but the music became a staple of my college years. A  favo



I really loved this one:




Tume for some Breakfast In America. My favorite cut from that album:



There's a club wed go to every once in awhile, and we'd dance to this:





My first serious "we are committed to this forever" relationship was in college.  His favorite band was Queen.  My love for the music outlasted our relationship.   This one is for Kenny, wherever he is.

    Of this set, I like, in particular "The Chain" Didn't like all Fleetwood Mac, but I did like this one a lot. And Supertramp - I had two of their albums. I don't know why I don't feature their music more often. Nice set. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    The 80s was a decade of wonderful mewsic. Your playset brings back memories from college days and early career. It's funny to think that this stuff is what they call the oldies now. lol Thanks for sharing the dance floor with the 4M gang! ;)

    It just doesn't get any better than Fleetwood Mac. "Rumors" ranks right up there with Eagles "Hotel California", Elton John "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and the Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" as far as classic albums are concerned. Great selections today. Have a blessed week.

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

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
