And it time to Escape







Moving on the volume two...

A little Fox on the Run.



It's time to Surrender.







We have to include Glen Campbell




And let's close it out with Fleetwood Mac

    All songs I remember, and one I really love ("The Chain") thinking of Stevie Nicks being inducted into the Hall of Fame and listening to this live. And now the voting has begun for the 2019 nominees. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Whoa! Spirit in the Sky to start out with... totally awesome! "Ooga chaka song"! OMG, I haven't heard that song in forever... I love it! Escape... OMG, I think you have all my oldies that use to be on tape in my car and I'd be singin' in the car to the tape! Wow, those were the times! "Escape", a total singing tune! "Escape" nope, can't say I've heard that one before! Well, maybe I have... Ohhhhhhh "Fox on the Run" that's different... yep, I might have heard that one! Okay, totally "Surrender" by Cheap Trick.. hubby's band used to play that one! Cool tune! Okay, now I have to draw the line somewhere. hehe, Glen Campbell, he was okay, but not my cup of tea. Whew! Last, but not least my favorite, "Fleetwood Mac", and great tune... "...dam your love, dam your lies"! WOW, Awesome song! Thanks, girlfriend... YOU HAVE TOTALLY ROCKED THE HOUSE MORESON THAN ANYONE TODAY! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

    What a great soundtrack! Thanks for sharing these selections....I think Target has this on vinyl, and I may have to pick it up someday.

    I've always loved Hooked on a Feeling - I used to call it the "ooga chaka song", too! I got hooked on it when it was playing during Ally McBeal. :) Great song choices all around! Thanks for the dance! :)

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
