#MM: It's a Fanta Sea


The mysterious masterpiece Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen has always been one of my favorites. In researching the meaning of its lyrics, analysts suspect the song relates to composer Freddie Mercury's personal life. He grew up in a highly religious Zoroastrian family which did not accept what he became––gay. Especially in the 1970s, to be homosexual in his family was to make his mother cry. The man he killed was himself by not being what he was raised to be. Some think the pain relates to AIDS, which eventually led to his death; however, the disease was too unknown at the time. When people asked Freddie Mercury what his lyrics meant, he said, "I don't know."

I feel sorry for people with life styles that their family will not accept. A friend of mine has a transgender child. She has been beautifully accepting of him as has everyone else in his life. Maybe we are finally arriving.

#MM : Young From When We Were Young (Plus a Bonus Hot Dog Tune)

I hadn't heard tell of the talented Neil Young in years, but now I just learned he is still touring and has a new album coming out. Who would have guessed? I'm sure his new music is great, but I'm a fan of the old songs. Twenty-four no more. Take a look at his life.




Born November 12, 1945, this next song 
fits him better these days. (:o)  My bad.


And finally, here's the song that's been stuck 
in my head these past few days. Wonder why? 
Could it be that I took a ride in a Wiener Mobile? 
More about that later.

Monday Music Moves Me, Puts Me in the Mood, and Feels So Good

Monday Music Moves Me theme is something jazzy. Post anything with brass and you're dancing!

Back in my college days, I was part of the Jazz, Blues, and Folk Committee where we'd bring big names to campus and see them back stage. I remember BB King walking in with his big bucket of KFC and a nasty manager who wouldn't let us near him; Pat Metheny giving us a private piano concert while we cleared his stage; and Leon Redbone's deep voice. But my favorite of all was Chuck Mangione. Here's one that Feels So Good.



Here's another fun one with lots of brass.

#AtoZ: Favorite Son Returns - Letter F

Happy Birthday to Daniel
My Favorite Son

Me at 26 with Daniel

It's April 6th, and here's the post you've all been waiting for: a recap on my favorite son's lovelife. One year later, and he's still single. Some of you may remember my post on his birthday last year, where I advertised to find him a wife. I actually survived the post and am ready to celebrate his birthday number 26. On my birthday 26, I was married and expecting Daniel. 

On the bright side, Daniel has a girlfriend, and I actually like her. She is blond and beautiful (of course), and she is not afraid of me . . . yet. This girl has a great personality and is fun to talk to. On the Jewish issue, we're halfway there, but it's the Dad half. I wonder if she'd convert? She's also smart. She's working on a Master's Degree at Vanderbilt. And guess what else? She actually reads my blog! So, am I in trouble again this year?

I figure my last year's post wasn't that bad because Daniel has shown it to everyone and their kid brother. If you missed it, you'll have to check it out and see what you think: Last Year's Mom Fail. I'm sure you'll laugh.

On the down side, Daniel's girlfriend has a mustache. I guess it's okay if she doesn't spill food in it when she eats.





Since it's time for Musical Monday, I will leave you with "Danny's Song." We started his Bar Mitzvah video with this very same tune.

#MM: Ryan Dolan - Start Again



His Classmates Thought Making Fun Of Him Made Perfect Sense, But Then A Senseless Thing Happened


I absolutely love this song by Ryan Dolan; the strings are gorgeous, aren't they? The message in the song is made more poignant when you know that Ryan came out recently. Its message is one that needs to be repeated until we all start listening.

Monday Music is Moving Me Now


I'm quite honored to be
 http://www.xmasdolly.com 's Spotlight dancer! 


Why not be the 2014 Spotlight Dancer?
It's not officially Monday here, either.

X-Mas Dolly chose moi, even though I didn't celebrate Christmas; but, I did rock along with some fab holiday tunes. 

This week we have a double theme: 

Great Tunes from 2013/New Year's music 

or 

Tunes about Time. 

I guess being the spotlight dancer means I have to follow this week's theme; so, the Disney spoof will have to wait until next time.


Let's turn the music on.

Musical Monday: Brandon Walker


I eat Chinese food on Christmas and go to the movie theater, too; because there ain't much else to do on Christmas, when you're a Jew.

Musical Monday: Adam Sandler


Christmas Dolly at Monday Music Moves Me has asked for Christmas music for the rest of the year. Although I like some holiday tunes, it’s not exactly a prompt for me. None-the-less, here’s an Adam Sandler selection to explain why you won’t be singing Silent Night on this blog. Better late than never, our holiday has passed, but I’ll still give Adam Sandler his turn.

Musical Monday: The Clap


Wouldn’t it be fun to have the clap?

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Sorry about missing Thursday's post. I had family in town from NY, to California, to Florida, and many places in between.

Musical Monday: Yes

 On those rare moments when I clean my house, I like to turn on the classic rock television station and listen to my favorite old tunes. I recently enjoyed this jewel that I hadn't heard in ages. Although I've been a Chess player since the age of five and am currently a sponsor of the Chess team, I just now made the obvious connection of this song to the game. Interesting what we discover when we actually listen to words.
