Rocktober!

-





It's October...the air is cool, the leaves are turning, and it's time for some music!


I will be participating in #RocktoberMusicFest, a blog hop sponsored by Mary at  Jingle Jangle Jungle.


Mary's rules:

Here’s how it will work:

Each day (yes, *EVERY* day) in the month of October, I will be making a post sharing a song that falls under the category of ‘Rock’.If you want to join me in the fun, all you need to do is write a post with a song and video that also falls under the category of ‘Rock’. This includes any sub-genre of Rock. (Hard Rock, Soft Rock, Alternative, Punk, Acid, Classic, Rockabilly, Southern, etc).

I don't think I'll be participating every day, but I'll try to post frequently. I'm going to choose songs and performers that have meaning for me.

And I'll be posting other things besides my Rocktober posts, including my participation in several blog hops. So you're likely to see more than one blog entry from me every day.

Let's get this party started with some heavy metal.  The English band Led Zeppelin is credited as being one of the originators of the genre.

I remember them best for the song that was the theme of my 9th grade dinner dance.




But I think my favorite Zeppelin song is this one:

    Great choices! Led Zeppelin is a great way to celebrate the month. And no worries if you aren't able to post every day. I know it's a huge commitment, but the main idea of the #RocktoberMusicFest is to celebrate the music and to have fun - so if you happen to miss a day or two - it's not a big deal :)

    Thanks for joining in today!

    Both great picks. Hard to say what my favorite Led Zepplin song is - I am partial to a number of songs from Led Zepplin IV. And, believe it or not, some from "In Through the Out Door". My husband has all their albums, I believe. I may be participating later in the month, here and there. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Robin,

    You sure rocked with two of Led Zeppelin's classic hits. 'Stairway To Heaven' will always be my favorite from them. Rock on, my friend!

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

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
