Sending belated Father's Day wishes to Drew! What a great way to get the party moving with rocker Pat Benatar this morning! Great song picks!! Have a boogietastic week, my dear. ;)
My friends loves Pat Benatar and has seen every performance when she's in Toronto. I heard she has an operatic voice but chose rock. She has a great voice!
Alrighty then I see you hit us with your best shot, and wow it was good! I haven't heard one of her songs in a while and yes, I do love her voice. What a range too! Good work my friend. You definitely hit us with your best shot! Have a great day!
I didn't know that "pint sized Pat Benatar" (as a local DJ used to call her) grew up on Long Island. I love her. I love her music. I loved those videos, all new to me I could see her fighting the Nazis in World War II or encouraging ladies of the evening to leave their pimp (I wonder what happened after the video ended, though.)

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.
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...
