So our conductor, X-Mas dolly, asked us to post a birthday song for her.

THERE ARE A LOT OF SONGS.  I had trouble making up my mind.

So here goes:








And then:






This last one is a children's song.  My family sings it at every birthday.  My sisters are convinced that my dad and my aunts wrote it.






Dolly has also asked that we choose a song whose title begins with the same letter as our name.

My name is Robin, so I will go for the obvious:

    Sir Paul rocks! I have loved the Beatles/Paul McCartney Birthday song since the very first time I heard it at a Sweet 16 party (probably not long after it came out). Being introduced to new birthday songs may be my theme for today - including Jimmy Buffet. Have a great week, Songbird. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Ahh, you have the same name as my DH!! That's so cool!! :) Marie is gonna love your song picks. I bet you'll have her doing a little chair boogie if she has the energy and I sure hope she does after being sick. Bobby Day, "Rockin' Robin' is a great song and perhaps my favorite of your picks. DH used J5's cover to close each night when he DJed for the summers. Have a boogietastic week, my furriend!

    Nice set! Martina McBride and Jimmy Buffett worked well together on "Trip Around The Sun."

    Always love the music of Paul and the Beatles. And it was nice to hear "Rockin' Robin" again, it has been a while!

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
