Music Monday

And the theme?


Time. Song lyrics or titles mentioning time, or calendars, or days of the week. Kudos to Alana for offering the first music prompt for the new year!


Let’s start with a Neil Sedaka classic.

  

Stevie Wonder also takes us through a whole year


The Waitresses offer a retrospective of the year during a chance Christmas meeting


  

The Beatles had a different take on time


  

Al Stewart noting the passage of time




  

Let’s not forget Cyndi Lauper



  

I saved this one for last, it always makes me cry,  The song was released in 1972.  The artist, Jim Croce, died in a plane crash just a few months later.

    Robin, thanks for joining the 4M party. "I Just Called To Say I Love You" is a great song. That one is going to be stuck in my head the rest of the day. Have a boogietastic week, my dear!

    Great minds! Besides the one we had in common, there were two others I thought to use but didn't. I like your mini theme of "all through the year"; I hadn't thought of that at all! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Like your playlist, Songbirdie. Our favourite is Al Stewart and Cindy Lauper, but we loved Jim Croce's song too and with knowing that this maybe was his last song...well...that touched us too😿Double Pawkisses for a Happy Week ahead🐾😽💞

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 ...

Saturday 9

  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...
