And today's theme?

  ‘Fool’ song titles or lyrics

So let's start with Frankie Lymon.

And then there's Rick Nelson:




Fooled around and fell in love ...



And we close with one that can fit both this week's theme and the theme for April 27.

    I really like Ricky Nelson and felt bad he was killed in the plane crash. I hope your Passover was a good and blessed one.

    Oh, Ricky Nelson, he was a favorite of mine when I was growing up. Nice selection of songs. Let's be wise and not fools. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Well, this is going to be my favorite playlist of the day. It is amazing that Frankie Lymon was only a teenager when he wrote Why do Fools Fall in Love. Poor Little Fool was on of my favorite Rick Nelson tunes and Fooled Around and Fell in Love just gets everyone off their feet and on to the dance floor. Thanks for the great tunes that inspire some very fond memories of days gone bye. Have a blessed week.

    Great songs! This just goes to show that artists have sung the fool for awhile.

    Robin,

    Ricky Nelson had such a smooth voice. Miranda's cover of 'Fooled Around and Fell In Love' isn't bad but I prefer Elvin Bishop's original the best. Thanks for joining me on the dance floor today, darlin'! Stay safely indoors and healthy. Have a boogietastic week! xx

    I used the original "Fooled around and fell in love" but I think I like this one better.

    I'm convinced that the key to Ricky Nelson's success was James Burton on guitar. This is a lot like "Hello Mary Lou" in structure. I had this one as well.

    And, finally someone uses "Why do fools fall in love"...

    I liked that Fool around and fell in love song very much, Songbird and although we didn't know any of the other songs nor singers, it was a nice introduction, thank you for that. It's always great to hear new songs😺Clean Pawkisses for a Happy Tuesday. Stay Safe Healthy and Yourselfie🙏🐾😽💞

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 ...

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...
