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🙏🐾😽💞

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.
