 And Marie wants songs about the New Year.


Well, as it turns out, I have a great playlist for New Year's Eve.


Shall we start with Johnny Mathis?  I believe he has a question to ask us.




Some romantic thoughts from Bing Crosby:





Some cheer from Abba:




After the year we've had, Barry Manilow puts it all into perspective.



And we close it out with a classic from Rod Stewart.

    Robin,

    I responded on my site but here is where you'll find the 2021 4M Themes. I'm co-hosting next month, then you're up in February. Did you send your themes yet? I didn't see an email from you. Maybe you haven't but I thought I'd better ask. :)

    Johnny Mathis voice is smooth as silk! I can't believe I haven't heard the Bing Crosby "Let's Start New Year" before now. I like that ended with a modern version of "Auld Lang Syne". Rod does a lovely job on the old classic. Thanks for sharing the dance floor with me, darlin'! I'm happy to soon say goodbye to 2020 and ready to welcome in the new year. May the Lord bless you throughout 2021, my dear! {hugs}

    I don't think I ever heard that Bing Crosby song, either and I just loved the vintage Coca Cola ads and World War II era photos. That song had perfect lyrics for ushering in 2021. Our hopes are all high as kites! Nice hearing Barry's mellow voice and Rod did a nice job on Auld Lang Syne. Happy New Year and "See" you in 2021. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

 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

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.
