Music Monday

 Today's theme:  In honor of Marie’s mama’s birthday build a playlist with her favorite artists Dean Martin, Glen Miller, & Frank Sinatra.


My favorite Dean Martin song, it's played in the movie "Moonstruck".



He always looks like he's having the time of his life.




Glenn Miller...this is the first thing I think of when I hear that name....



and another favorite:



But I saved the best for last.  Old Blue Eyes himself:





Here's Frank with Dean on the Jerry Lewis telethon in 1976, singing and clowning around:




And for the big finish:

    Good Frank songs; I like so many I could barely remember which ones were my favorite.

    Robin,

    I love Dean Martin! You're right, he looks like he's having fun and I generally got that feeling every time I saw him on TV. Frank Sinatra is a good singer but he isn't my favorite. The Glenn Miller is fabulous. There's something so special about that big band sound. His disappearance is still a mystery. I don't think I ever heard if they found his plane. Wouldn't it be interesting to learn what happened? Thanks for hitting the 4M dance floor today, my friend. Have a boogietastic week!

    I guess all of us picked "In the Mood" and I agree with Cathy, you just can't beat that big band sound. I am a Frank Sinatra lover and although I didn't pick "My Way", it is a favorite of mine. Now, Dean and Louie Armstrong was quite the duet, too. Both looked like they were having the time of their lives. Nice set! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

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
