Songs about the end of Summer

Well, this summer never really got started...and now it's over.

Sigh.

As they say in baseball, "wait until next year."

So...the music.

These folks had a great summer,,,



I had a huge crush on Travolta back in the day.

More nostalgia for summers past:




And some Don Henley:




Let's go First Class




A classic




And we close it out with Chad and Jeremy

    Robin,

    I can't believe it's the last day of August. Fall is close on our heels. I know my northern furriends aren't too excited about the seasonal change because that means Old Man Winter follows afterward and sometimes he has a way of jumping the gun. The year is also moving by at an alarming rate. There's no slowing it down. I think I'll be happy when this year is gone, though. It's been a hard one. I'm ready to hit reset for us to have a better new year than this at the stroke of midnight on December 31st, aren't you? Great song set! My favorite is Frank Sinatra, "The Things We Did Last Summer", very pretty! It's great having you on the dance floor. Have a boogietastic week. Stay safe and be well, my dear! {{hugs}}

    A great set. I had forgotten all about First Class; it was nice hearing that song again. But best of all was A Summer Song (which I had on my blog, also) because that song is the very definition of the end of summer. Summer has ended in upstate New York; today was our first day of the upcoming seasonal gloom. But autumn leaves must fall.... Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    We enjoyed your playlist, Songbird, it was very varied. Our favourite is Brian Adams and the Beach Baby was so seventies ;) 😸Swinging Pawkisses for a Happy Wednesday🐾😽💞

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...
