So much to respond to about music and records but I will not get into everything I love about music because I would writes many paragraphs. Music is my life and what I live for. 

 

Music is a very big part of my life too and for reasons that would take forever to explain.

First dance song for us was Bryan Adams' (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.  We were married in 1992, about a year after Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was released.

Takeout pizza for dinner last night.  The signature Margherita on the left for Micheline and the weekly special Philly Cheesesteak on the right for me.  I know this idea is foreign to you OB, but they will make for a good lunch today also.

First dance: Nobody Loves Me Like You Do by Whitney Houston

 

Last Dance:  Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now by Jefferson Starship.

The year was 1988.

@A&L_Ont That stuff is gross looking. 

I have them grown in my mulch in past years but not the last 2 years.  They are really strange looking and feel wierd and I think they were slimy when I pulled to remove them.    Gross!  Is the best way to describe

When we lived in Ohio, we had a constant problem with Canadian Geese slowly walking across a road and blocking traffic (build a net!).  I had this problem pulling out of my neighborhood yesterday:

 

We have a peacock who lives in our neighborhood.  He struts around like he owns the place.  Not something that I would have expected.

Good evening everyone.

My football team Sunderland won on the first day of the season today so I'm happy.

It was 66°F today and cloudy but we did have some heavy downpours of rain.

We went to the cemetery and Pauline put fresh flowers on her grandparents and baby brothers graves.

We then went to the beach car park with a picnic of Prawn and smoked salmon sandwiches and had an enjoyable 3 hours looking out to sea.

Vinyl records are quite popular again in England.

I hope everyone has a nice day.

Graham.

A really good takeaway meal in the car can be such a nice cozy experience!

I remember when I learned that Eric Clapton’s songs “Wonderful Tonight” and “Layla” ( the original, not that travesty he later recorded) in addition to George Harrison’s “Something in the Way She Moves” we’re all about Patty Boyd I thought she must have been an amazing woman!  Then I read her autobiography.

Both look amazing, and I'm sure I'll finish the Margherita in one "swoop", but when looking at my screen, it seems to me that the Margherita is on my right?

 

Right?? 😉

Correct. I got my left and right mixed up. Margherita is in the right. 🤪

Completely Understand. The closest I've come to documenting the music in my life was this 2014 entry into my blog, "The Ten Albums That Changed My Life."

Very interesting mix of music genres.  I would have guessed something from the Beetles or the Stones, and I would have guessed wrong.  The one that surprised me was The Andy Williams Christmas Album.  That is, until I read why.  It immediately brought me back to Christmas as a kid since my parents also loved that album.

20 years ago we went to Brandi’s in Naples where the margarita pizza was first made in 1700’s it was bar far best pizza we ever had. It was featured in Tucci’s special on cnn.

Most people are surprised that they were never on my radar at the time. As I got older I grew to appreciate their music, especially the Beatles. It was at the time I just preferred to listen to other groups.

Sinatra Christmas album was always my favorite since I was a little kid, I love watching the Dean Martin Christmas special every year with his family and Sinatra family it is available on YouTube, was lucky enough to see Sinatra several times in New York, Dallas and Vegas , was supposed to see Dean Martin with Sinatra but Dean canceled and was replaced with Liza , Sammy Davis was there also , he was amazing.

On our last music charter they had on Jefferson Starship there lead singer did a great job on all of Grace Slicks big hits. 

On the music cruises do the bands entertain at night or just mingle with the passengers during the day ?
