A Normal Story — The Cure

Higher Ground — Stevie Wonder

RIP Ozzy Wonder which way he went? (I hope he'd see the humor in that)

I had two aunts who lived in NJ, houses next door to each other. During WWII they were dancers in the USO shows, and lived in Connie's neighborhood. It was largely an Italian-American neighborhood, if I remember it correctly. We moved from NY to FL when I was still in elementary school, so I didn't get to visit them all that often.

RIP. She was a neighbor of one of my aunts. Not close friends, but acquaintances. I read that when she was offered the movie “Where They Boys Are” they told her she could have any MGM staff writer she wanted for the theme song. Instead, she picked Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield, and it turned out to be a good choice. We occasionally gig at Assisted Living Facilities here in Florida, and had one yesterday. We pulled out “Where The Boys Are” and it was the right choice for that audience. Especially since it was filmed in the town I grew up in, Fort Lauderdale. RIP Connie, and thanks for the music.

The way I was brought up by my parents is this: If someone gives you a complement, say “Thank you.” Whether you think it's deserved or not, or even if you think they are saying it sarcastically But that's just me.

Well, actually there were dozens of them. It depended on who was available. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrecking_Crew_(music)

When There Is No Sun–Sun Ra

And you know what's funny about this. They recently found human remains that predate and are unrelated to the Asians who became the "American Indians", so they no longer can claim they were here first, as the obliterated the ones who were already here.

Baby It's You — Smith

Eleanor Rigby - Mark Murphy (Actually, just about anything he sang)
