Rocktober
Rocktober begins on a bittersweet note as we remember the lives of Helen Reddy and Mac Davis.
Here’s Helen singing a song Mac wrote.
Here’s Mac
Bet you didn’t know he wrote this one
And close it out with an encore
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.

ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in RocktoberMusicFest! Looking forward to a great month of music.
It’s going to be great

ReplyDeleteShe had so many hits
DeleteI am going to have a tribute on my blog Monday for Music Moves Me; I had also come up with Mac Davis singing "In the Ghetto" and I can see why it worked so well for Elvis-and for Mac Davis - in fact, I actually liked the Mac Davis one better. A sad way to end September and begin October. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
