 And it's a "your choice" week.


One of my favorites from the early  70's died in a plane crash.  Only 30 when he died. Gone way too soon.  


Today I will enjoy the music of Jim Croce.


Let's start with "Operator"



"I Got A Name"


Who could forget "Leroy Brown"?



Or Big Jim?




And now the one that always makes me cry ... released as a single posthumously, his second #1 hit...

    Robin,

    Joe Croce was a great singer. I really love his music! Great selections to share on the dance floor, my dear. Have a boogietastic week! ;)

    Anyone who can watch the video of Time in a Bottle and realizing that Jim Croce's son A.J.(yes, I had to look it up) has had his own tragedy in life (left fatherless right before his 2nd birthday, abuse leaving him blind at 4 and only later recovering part of his sight) and more recently, the sudden death of his wife, leaving him with two children to raise...still, I understand that A.J. is an accomplished musician. My personal favorite, next to Time in a Bottle, is I Got a Name. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

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 ...

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
