Music Monday for the family

-
And today we are asked for songs about Mom or our family.

Let's start with Martina McBride, singing about her relationship with her daughter.  I have two daughters, so I can relate.





Next up, Carrie Underwood singing to her mother....






Backstreet Boys salute the perfect fan...





Lee Ann Womack's wish for her child




And since we're talking about parental hopes and dreams





And finally, so that we don't drown in sentimentality today....




And for the gardeners among us....













I was going to leave it there, with a joke....

Then Saturday came  the news that Little Richard died.    I'll close it out with one of his best.

    Robin,

    I'm glad to see someone paid tribute to Little Richard. I meant to revise my post but forgot. I enjoyed your Mom-themed songs today. Martina McBride is one of my favorite female country artists. Have a boogietastic week. Take care and be well, my dear! xx

      Have a great week.

    There are so many interesting things about the Little Richard video. I am sure he was not allowed to break loose just like Elvis was only shown from the wait up on his first Ed Sullivan appearance. Note that the band is all black and the audience is all white, but the only couple dancing is black...different times. Love that "mini grand" piano. Thanks for sharing a great video of a great artists. Have a blessed week.

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
