Saying yes...

This afternoon's dance-a-thon will be dedicated to Donna... RIP

 

 

Back to the 21st Century...

This is actually the song that's been stuck in my head for most of the week...

And a small aside that has nothing to do with music: If you're going to be out of town on a Friday night, and you leave your alarm clock at home... do not leave it set to go off at 5AM. Even the dogs thought it was too early...

 

 

Update: Side effects of an alarm clock going off somewhere in the house at 5AM on a Saturday morning have been erased by Mr. Thundra. Many thanks.

When feelings and music mix... but shouldn't...

After BG's comment, I was thinking of posting a few more YouTubes of songs that reminded me of males from the past... whether males that I actually interacted with, or merely worshipped from afar... Yes, Vincent Van Patten and Willie Ames (Swiss Family Robinson Willie Aames, not Eight is Enough, thank you!)... you know I loved you both!  And then I realized, some were just horrendously embarassing! We can't always control what our brain anchors onto when Cupid zaps our heart! I'm talking about you, Barry Manilow!!! As Grizzled said when we were combining album collections...

G: Who in the hell has THREE Barry Manilow albums??

Me: HEY!!! I was once an 12 yr-old girl who grew up with Top 40 AM! He struck a chord... I couldn't help it!

G: OK, but that doesn't mean you have to keep them!

Me: But that would be like scrubbing my past, and I'm not going to do that. I will probably never listen to them again, but they do mark a point in time...

Yes, when going over my list, I was more embarrassed than not... but not too embarassed to share some... Go ahead, toss your judgmental daggers! I can take it. These were, and still are, associated with LUV!

 

 

 

 

I heard this song today...

...and was whisked back to the 3rd grade... my love for Robin S, as sure a thing as any 3rd grader can experience. I was thrilled when we were asked to stay a few minutes after school to clean the blackboards. I remember as he stepped up onto the piano bench to reach the top of the boards, I noticed he was wearing the absolutely most heinous pair of Toughskins... and like that, it was over.

Songs my mind connects with Easter even if they have nothing to do with Easter...

Better One, Better Two??

I got nothin'

Or nothing I feel like putting up. So... here are few versions of a song I love... and don't even mind that they're using it on a car commercial, since it means I get to hear it when I least expect it. I believe they use the Bo Diddley cover.

I almost missed a Geddy post... darn...

Out of courtesy to a fellow blogger, I listened. Fortunately Geddy was not singing, only talking. What he said made me think of this:

If this doesn't cure the Monday blahs, there's no help for you

I could listen to and watch this all day.

Other than that... another busy week in the hopper... light posting/cat-vacuuming continues.

Breaking a Sweat for Von...
