 And it's a "your choice" week.

Halloween is approaching, so how about theme songs from spooky TV shows?

Let's start with Dark Shadows.



How about The Munsters?



And if you mention the Musters, what else do you think of?



Let's move on to something different



Buffy is always interesting.



Hitchcock was always the master.



Are you Bewitched?



Of course there is the classic...



And finally, returning to the Dark Shadows theme, here's a little video I shot a few years ago.

    Robin,

    Excellent theme for this week! I enjoyed listening to all of these old theme songs which are perfect choices with Halloween approaching. Dark Shadows was a favorite from my childhood. I started watching the series several years ago but never finished it on Amazon Prime. I need to pick up where I left off if I can remember. :) Thanks for adding a little creep to the dance floor in our morning. Oh yeah, who's in the video that you recorded? I can't tell. Have a boogietastic week, my dear!

      That is David Selby a/k/a Quentin Collins. "Shadows of the Night" was Quentin's theme.

    This will definitely be the most seasonal playlist I will see and hear today. Really well done. Have a blessed week.

    I can't view the last video, for some reason (nothing is visible). However I enjoyed the nostalgia of the 60's show themes. Dark Shadows was huge in my high school although I, personally, never got into it. And, earlier, there were Addams famiy fans vs. Munsters fans. Never watched Buffy or X Files, but enjoyed these all. Remember when TV shows had actual theme songs? 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
