 And the theme?


Wedding Songs – play at or wished you had or want. 

Well, my daughter Becca is getting married next month, so wedding music is on my mind.

Here are a few songs that were played at my wedding.

Let’s start with a dance tune. 


  

Yeah, Drew got on the floor and did the worm.  

This was Billboard’s #1 song that year, and of course we danced to it.

  

Somewhere there is a photo of Drew’s sister “walking like an Egyptian”…

My sisters sang this one.  They were a tad bit …tipsy … at the time, so I won’t use the footage of them …

  

As I mentioned before, this was the song for my father-daughter dance.

  

Yes, we were married under a chuppah, and Drew smashed a glass at the end of the ceremony.

And yes, we danced a hora…


  

You haven’t lived until you’re sitting in a chair held up off the floor … like in this clip from Fiddler


  

We had a photo montage, and chose this song as background music


  

And I saved the best for last.  Our song.

    Good music picks! What does the lifting the couple in chairs symbolize? I remember seeing this done in a movie, can't recall which one, but wondered about it. Have a boogietastic week!

      It’s just tradition as far as I know. We did it at my wedding, we did it for each of my daughters’ bat mitzvah, we will probably do it at Becca’s wedding.

    Great choices. One I especially enjoyed was Andre Rieu; his videos are always delightful but I think he and his singers/musicians outdid themselves with this performance.

    Sunrise, Sunset was one of my mom's favourite songs. I love the music from Fidler on the Roof. Love Andre Rieu and he is a must see if ever he is near where you live. Live the rock songs and Evergreen is a classic.

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

Music Monday

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
