 It’s a “your choice “ week.


Hmmm….


This song is on my mind lately.


  

Yes, I named my cat after a Cat Stevens song,

But I like a lot of songs by Cat Stevens/Yusuf.

Wild World …


  

Peace Train 


  

He had a big hit with this cover

  

I didn’t realize he covered this one, though

  

This is recent cover


 

But getting back to his stuff …



  

And my favorite

    I love Cat/Yusef and still have the original Tea for the Tillerman album Thanks for the concert. ☺ P.S. this week has a theme: Four-day music fest. Any festival headlining this artist would be great!

    How I loved Yusef when I was in college - and I still love him. I enjoyed hearing him once again, especially the last video filmed in 2022. His voice is still there. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Robin,

    I forgot about how popular Cat Stevens was growing up until like now someone sharing samples of his work. "First Cut Is The Deepest" especially makes me think of my early teen years. Thanks for coming to the party. Have a boogietastic week, my friend!

    I so often am humming to the words to Moon Shadow in my head when I got out with Mickey for his last pee of the night! That is, if there's a moon. I have a lot of his songs on my phone. By the way, let's give him credit, The First Cut is the Deepest is HIS song! He wrote it too! I loved his artwork on the albums back in the day. And he was very handsome, I had his photo from a concert on my wall! Oh, I'm dating myself!

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...
