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🐾😽💞

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

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

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.
