Today is Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year.  It is a day of prayer and private contemplation.  

The holiday has put me in a nostalgic mood.  So today’s blog hop theme is bringing back sweet memories.
This week's theme:
First Grade Songs – songs that were popular the year you were in first grade (or when you were 6 yrs old)

 Oooohh  .... 1966....

 (yes, I'm old...)
But it was a great year for music.

 The Beach Boys were surfing.






The Mamas and Papas were California Dreamin'








While Simon and Garfunkel were Homeward Bound




Tommy James gave us the Hanky Panky





And we will close it out with the Supremes

    You are no where near old, so let me say how young you made me feel. These are songs from when I was in middle school - part of the soundtrack of my life (as I like to call it). Two of my favs here - Good Vibrations (the instrumentation) and California Dreamin'(the harmonies). Thank you for making me feel young again. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Robin,

    Age is only a number, don't let it make you feel old yet! We have plenty of time ahead to call ourselves old. :) You really pulled together some excellent tunes from the 60s. I love all of the artists you picked, especially Simon & Garfunkel and Tommy James & the Shondells. My auntie and her first cousin, Charleen, (recently passed) used to listen to Dian Ross and the Supremes when I was little. They are about 10 years older than me and I always looked to them as big sisters. :) Get this, in case you didn't know, Mary Wilson one of the original Supremes is on this season of DWTS. For her age, she does a good job on the dance floor, too. She seems like a nice lady. :) Thanks for joining the 4M party and have a boogietastic week, my dear!

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...
