 The theme?


Robin from SongbirdsCrazyWorld says since we’re in “the dog days of summer”, lets put together songs about animals.


Yes, I chose today’s theme.


So by now you know I am the mother of two adorable cats, Duchess and Shadow.




So we will start with songs about cats, of course.


  


  

But I also like dogs.  I had a poodle once, and more recently I had a wonderful beagle named Molly.  So, songs about dogs.



  



You’d expect a girl named Robin to like birds.  You’d be correct.


  

When I was a kid I’d ride horses at camp.  So a song about horses.


  

And when I created this theme, I never said the animals had to be real.  I love fantasy,  so …

    Good choices! We only have the one song in common (you'll see tomorrow).

    Very clever idea to incorporate mystical creatures in your theme picks. I didn't think of that! I loved "Puff the Magic Dragon" as a kid!! You did a great job on your entire song line up. Thanks for sharing and for coming up with such a good theme for us, dear friend. Have a boogietastic week!!

    Yes indeed, it was good to hear Puff and Rockin' Robin, from the good 'ol days. Have a blessed week.

    Everyone was in love with Davy from The Monkeys, but my crush was Mickey!

    I love Puff, the Magic Dragon but it's so sad. When I was a kid and heard this song, I cried and made up a different story where the Dragon still had his friend and was happy.
    Love the Irish Rovers

    Great choices here. Many of which I considered. Very nice playlist.

    Some classic songs here. I loved Puff the Magic Dragon as a child although the deeper meanings of the song (when a child grows up) escaped me at the time. Year of the Cat is one of my all time favorite songs.

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.
