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.
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...
Happy Birthday to Becca. What a great playlist and I knew and loved every one of these songs.
