Music Monday -- The Moody Blues

-
It's a "your choice" week....

And my choice is...the Moody Blues.

I saw them in concert at Westbury Music Fair in November 2012.  That was my "do-over" concert.  We had tickets for their show in April 2012, but I was in the hospital...

So anyway, here's the video I shot  in Westbury:






There are better videos than mine, of course:

















Yeah, I think you can tell I'm a fan....

    You are a fan - I am too, but the one time I could have seen them, fate intervened and I couldn't go. I love them. Enough said. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Robin,

    The Moody Blues band is a simply pAwesome! They have some great hits, many that I didn't know they did until I started blogging. I am bad when it comes to band names and who did what but Blogopshere is opening my mind allowing me to make better connections in the mewsic world which makes me very happy. :) Thanks for hitting the dance floor with the 4M gang, my friend. Have a boogietastic week, my dear!

    Hello, songbird! I appreciate your visit and comment. Love the Moody Blues! My favorite of your selections is "Nights in White Satin." It's great that you were able to see them in person . Recordings are good,but they aren't quite like a live concert experience. Take care.

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

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

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.
