Music Monday

 Sorry, I’m just not feeling this week’s theme, though I’d love to see what everyone did with it.


I’m still on a high from last night’s Tony Awards.


So forgive my self indulgence, but I’m going with a Broadway theme today.


West Side Story



 Chicago




Hairspray 



Wicked 






Yes, that was from last night’s show.


One of my favorites from Hamilton







Let’s close it out with a classic.






BROADWAY’S BACK

    It's all good! No one is going to kick you out of the group. I'm not big into Broadway, until I think of some of my favorite music over the years. Climb Ev'ry Mountain, Edelweiss, The Music of the Night, Seasons of Love, You'll Never Walk Alone, yes, please! One of my cousins in Brooklyn is a big Broadway fan so she would know the currently popular songs. I'm more into (mostly) the older ones. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Robin,

    Sometimes themes are tricky and even though I came up with this one, I found it challenging. I'm glad you decided to hit the dance floor with your Broadway themed songs. It's nice to sample music across the genres. When I was a kid, I loved West Side Story. It's interesting while I watched the video of these street tough kids and thought, how can I take these guys serious dancing, you know? It's almost made me laugh but then that's a musical for ya. :) Great sounds from some of the most recognizable Broadway productions! Have a boogietastic week, 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...
