Music Monday

 And it's a "your choice" week.


It's also "Rocktober".


So today's playlist  is from an 80's band we all know and love.


The Go-Go's.


Let's start with  a vacation.




Our lips are sealed



Head over heels?



This next one was supposed to be a song by the band, but wound up being a solo hit for Belinda Carlisle



The ladies are still rockin' in 2020



And for an encore...

Two years ago I had the chance to see a Broadway Musical, Head Over Heels, based on the music of the Go-Go's.







Here's the cast at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade:

    I can't believe that we both picked the same version on We Got the Beat. I guess great minds think alike. Thanks for the dance.

    Robin,

    I'm finally getting over to dance with you. Phew, it's been a busy day. It's funny I just came from Patrick's who had a more recent song by these chicks. Like everyone, their appearance has changed a lot over the 30+ years. They still know how to rock it, though. Thanks for joining the 4M crew on the dance floor. Stay safe, be well, and have a boogietastic week, my dear! ;)

    So many good/interesting things about the Go-Go's. I saw a documentary on them during one of my vacations. If all they had done was launch Belinda Carlisle to fame it would have been enough. But they are so much more. I need another vacation. I'm in one of the spiking NY counties. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Wow, I just heard Eddie Van Halen Died, and he was only 65. He gave us a lot of great music. May he rest in peace. You got some great tunes here my friend the GoGo's didn't make it really big, but what they did they made a name for themselves for sure! Great pickins' here my friend! God speed!

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

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
