    Great collection of songs here. For me Billy Joel may be the only artist that can rival Sir Elton John vocally and instrumentally and showmanship. Thanks for including him in the playlist today. Have a blessed week.

    Robin,

    'Lucy In The Sky' is old favorite. Every time I hear it, it makes me feel good inside. :) 'Mandy' is such a sweet song that transports me back to the 70s during a time when my emotions were a bit fragile, perhaps even broken. No doubt because of some stupid guy, not DH - he's not stupid. :) The only song by Looking Glass I know and love, "Brandy". Today, John shared another song by the band that was new-to-me and a pleasure to hear for the first time. Thanks for sharing your picks for this week on the dance floor. Have a boogietastic week, my dear! xx

    There are a couple here that I was set to pick, then chose not to because I knew someone else would. Glad you did! Great set!

    I have to say out of all these tunes "Beth" has to be my favorite. I've never heard it before & didn't know Kiss did this type of song. It's fantastic! Thank you for joining us.

    Lucy in the Sky is an excellent choice. Haven't heard that Kiss song before.

    Mandy by Barry Manilow is one I haven't heard in a while (why not?)and it made me happy. Captain Jack and that Shea Stadium concert - such a perfect selection. Nice set! This is such a broad category; it was fun seeing what everyone was offering. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

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
