 And it's a "your choice" week.


Live music last night!  Oh how wonderful it was!  


Peter Noone at The Cutting Room.  Yes, we actually ventured into NYC for live music.  East 32nd Street, to be precise.

It’s a small venue, seating is  first-come-first-served.  We got there before the doors opened and waited outside.  Drew spotted Noone walking up the street, and we got a chance to speak to him before he went inside to do a sound check.  Alas, no photos.

Two other 60’s-era singers were in the audience: Billy Jay Kramer of the Dakotas and Eddie Brigati of the Rascals.   Drew managed to get a photo with Brigati.


But of course the main attraction was Noone, who sang and told stories for 95 glorious minutes.









So today's featured artist ...





















And a bonus hit

    As I remember, Eddie Brigati's teeth went in all different directions, so either he had them fixed or that's your husband on the right. I liked the Rascals and especially his voice.

    Looks like Peter Noone had some dental work done, too. I always liked Herman's Hermits, sunshine pop at its finest.

    Oooh I'm envious! I've seen Peter Noone with Herman's Hermits at the NY State Fair twice and he is so good, so entertaining, and it's obvious how much he loves interacting with the audience. So a 95 minute show in an smaller (I assume) setting - wow. I've heard many of their songs live but what a treat it was to hear him cover The Hollies' Bus Stop. (I had that 45, I am fairly certain. Bus Stop, I mean.)

      I just showed your post to my husband and we both agreed it looked like Peter Noone put on a little weight since we saw him last (2019). Well, who hasn't? I also need to sign my name and then it's back to work I go. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

      He actually joked about his Covid weight gain. He said the vest was now a girdle...

    Robin,

    Oh how fun! I like listening to Peter Noone's SiriusXM show. Many years ago, I did a feature on Hermans Hermits and I left a message on his website mentioning my intentions with the hope of enticing to my site but he was a no show. Months later I got an email from his saying he just now seeing mine and thanked me for the interest. I was delightfully stunned. Now every time we hear or see Peter, DH will say, "There's your buddy!" lol He's a charming fella with a great arsenal of tales to keep his audience entertained always. I love the oldies! Thanks for joining the 4M gang on the dance floor. Looking forward to having you as honorary co-hostess next month, my dear!

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...
