Music Monday

 And it's a "your choice" week.


Well, for some reason my mind is wandering towards the Caribbean these days...so how about some Jimmy Buffett?


Bet you didn't know I was a Parrothead ... unless you've been reading this blog for awhile.  

My first Buffett concert was at Madison Square Garden.





But most of the time we've seen Buffett at Jones Beach, an open air venue.


Great  venue, isn’t it?








We've even seen Buffett on Broadway,  Saw Escape to Margaritaville twice, and the second time Buffett showed up to sing with the cast.





Let's kick off our shoes, grab a cool drink, dig our toes in the sand and change our attitude...



Where will we go when the volcano blows?



Phins up!




Time to hula



Let's have some cheeseburgers!



And his signature song...



I'm going to have to play that one again, it's so much better as an audience participation piece...



We've got tickets to see the show in August...assuming it's a "go"...

    Robin,

    What a fun way to escape this Monday with a bit of sandy and spray! It's pretty warm today here so getting misted by the ocean would feel pretty good. Great mini-concern beach-side right from my computer chair! Have a boogietastic week and thanks for joining the 4M dance party, my friend. :)

    Oh my gosh, this is wonderful. We saw Jimmy Buffet once too! We saw him at Islands of Adventure in Florida and we had an absolute great time. I have never been to a place like that before. We had soooooooooo much fun, and Jimmy Buffet is definitely the bomb. Thanks for your tunes girlfriend... GREAT JOB!

    It is amazing that Jimmy Buffett has made a remarkably successful career out of an ongoing beach party. T-shirts, surf trunks, and flip flops have made him a household name. Great playlist.

    Oh by the way, Islands of Adventure and the otherside is Universal Studios where we saw Jimmy Buffet's "Margaritaville" & it was crowded as hell & he showed up, walked around say hello to everyone and then did a song or two. All I remember was a I had great time and their margarita's were the bomb! hahaha We'll have to go there some time! Well, it would be nice wouldn't it?

      I had several meals in Margaritaville at Universal, but Jimmy never showed up while I was there. Fun place, though.

    I feel happy, Songbirdie. These songs, especially the first one raised up our energy level to the highest. Pawkisses for a Happy Day🐾😽💞

    Jimmy Buffet. I would love to go to one of his concerts but the funny thing is, I don't listen to his music. It's the kind of music that (for me) needs to be played outdoors, with crowds all around. And I don't go to many concerts, so I just contradicted myself, I guess. Maybe, post-COVID, I'll find a concert. I'm tagging one of my Parrothead Facebook friends with your post, because I enjoyed your mini-concert, and I know she will enjoy, too!

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

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

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.
