Have a Merry Christmas with spitfire Brenda Lee.
It was so lovely to see her in interviews talking about the BIG second life of the song this year. I did get a wee bit annoyed when those Mariah fans got her knocked off the number one spot, like people switching up dogs in tv shows. Happy New Year everyone. My plans for the big event are below.

I like hearing groups I like sing acapella. Here's NSYNC singing "I Thought She Knew" acapella. |

I like hearing groups I like sing acapella. Here's NSYNC singing "I Thought She Knew" acapella. Boy any acapella I find on my iPod can't hold a candle to this singing. I had to pop out to the internet to find them doing it live and it gives me chills. It is a lost art I think. Now for anyone dragging around a bag of nickels they just landed at the eCinema, you might want to consider the idea below. From a Fourth Wall point of view it is interesting - I can't tell if she breaks it or not. Her eyes are dark pools and the video quality is poor but I don't think it is my imagination: she is trying to pretend there isn't a giant camera in from of her. On the flipside - how about her tiny microphone! Music, Music, Music - Teresa Brewer |

Been listening to Floyd "Guitar" Smith all week. Happy Birthday! (25 January 1917 -- 29 March 1982)
Floyd's Guitar Blues (Black & Blue Records sessions, 1972) was reissued on CD in 1996 as Relaxin' with Floyd (The Definitive Black & Blue Sessions). Wild Bill Davis is on organ, and Chris Columbo is on drums.

Gone but not forgotten: Mary Weiss died on January 19, 2024, at age 75. As the lead singer of the Shangri-Las, she conveyed passion, pathos and toughness — and reached the Top 40 six times while still in her teens.www.nytimes.com/2024/01/22/arts/music/mary-weiss-dead.htmlThe list of bands and musicians they influenced is too long to post here. One I didn't know: David Gilmour, guitarist for Pink Floyd, cited the Shangri-Las as an influence, saying their music "painted aural pictures".Ms. Weiss called herself a “street singer.” She said the greatest compliment she had ever been paid came when she ran into Joey Ramone at the New York punk club CBGB, and he told her, “Without the Shangri-Las, there would have been no Ramones.”The Shangri-Las and Robert Goulet on "I've Got a Secret" - Leader of the Pack |

Feels like a dream of paintings melting in Tahiti
Generally, lucid dreaming is quite rare. Only one half of the general population know the phenomenon from personal experience, approximately 20% have lucid dreams on a monthly basis, and only a minority of approximately 1% have lucid dreams several times a week.

Oh dear. Everyone is so good with their birthdays and tributes. Poor Al Kooper. I am a few days late and a dollar or two short as per usual. With fans like me who needs the swifities. Al Kooper (born Alan Peter Kuperschmidt; February 5, 1944) MAY 03 2023 #ROCKHALL2023 INDUCTEE  I am sorry to see he seems to be retired. I didn't think musicians could ever truly retire - although some do disappear to sailing. Far too many credits to list so I'll just pluck one great one. (I was pretty proud when I learned all the words to this baby - complete with the nasal sound) In 1965, Wilson invited Kooper to watch one of the producer's sessions for Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited, at the Columbia Studios on West 53rd Street in Manhattan.
"It was the first time I saw Mike Bloomfield play," Kooper remembers.
"Dylan sessions were a little chaotic, and I was 21 and very ambitious. I was listening to 'Like A Rolling Stone' being rehearsed by the band and I suggested me playing an organ part. Tom said 'You're a guitar player, not an organ player.' Then he went to take a phone call and I thought to myself 'Well, he didn't say no.' So I went out into the studio and sat down at the organ. Then Tom comes back into the room. He says 'What are you doing out there?' I nervously laughed, and Tom let me stay. The next take was the keeper."Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone (Live at Newport 1965) And of course CFTR related... Kooper wrote the scores for the TV series Crime Story and the film The Landlord, as well as several made-for-television movies. |

I can't exactly post it here, but currently I am listening to a personal Apple Music playlist (that I created) of 30s, 40s, 50s songs from movies/movie musicals. I throw the playlist on whenever I want to feel happy; right now it is "A Man Chases a Girl" from 'There's No Business Like Show Business.'

"Those Were the Days", made world-famous in 1968 by Mary Hopkin and credited to Eugene Raskin, who in 1962 wrote the English lyrics for the tune and claimed the song for his own. It was composed by Boris Fomin in 1924, first interpreted and recorded by Tamara Tsereteli (1925) and Alexander Vertinsky (1926).

While I'm thinking about it, my current music fixations are anything and everything Patsy Cline, the McGuire Sisters, and particularly the song "Since I Don't Have You" by the Skyliners. I've heard Patsy's and the McGuires' hits, but if anyone has any suggestions for some lesser known songs that are solid, please let me know!
