I’ll be honest, I looked at Billboard’s top songs for the year Becca was born and recognized only a few of those hits. But let’s play the ones I do remember.
Happy Birthday to your darling daughter! The years get away from us, don't they? After the birth of our first in 1988 I lost all track of music. I think it wasn't until the late 90s I began noticing new releases but even then many went right over my head. You pulled together a fun playlist to celebrate Becca's birthday. I hope her day is extraordinarily special. Thanks for joining the party and have a boogietastic week, dear friend!
Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter. Amazing that this music is over 30nyrs old. I think of the people who turned 30 or 32 in 1975 were listening to Led Zeppelin, the Doobie Bros, Chicago but, when they were born, the music then were the big bands and Doris Day. I enjoyed listening to all these pieces even I'm too Sexy...lol
Happy birthday, Becca! I didn't pay much attention to the music of the early 90's for similar reasons to Cathy, but I knew most of these. I love I'm Too Sexy and songs like Baby Got Back which was in the same time period, I think. They are so much fun.
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
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

Happy birthday, Becca! Love the playlist. It's just about everything that was good in '92...
