Strauss Waltzes work best on record, too.
Good Morning!
Boobs - the concert sounds wonderful. I adore Cyndi Lauper...and wish that I had time to make one of her shows!
I'm grabbing a mimosa, also, mom. Thanks. (Although I have a long day ahead...so just one!)
Love the song lyrics that you printed in the last two pages. Both of those are classics, and filled with memories!
I still have a turntable, also. I will not part with it! There's something comforting about hearing those familiar scratch marks and muffled sounds on a record that got there from years and years of play and love!
Good morning all! How are my kids this AM? Did you have a good time at Cyndi last night Boobs? I saw at the filming of her Live DVD that just came out. She was amazing!
Glad to see you back this morning Bobby...have a mamosa. Cyndi was tremendous !!! She just runs up the aisles singing and shaking hands...she's a scream !!! Her security couldn't even keep up with her...it was hysterical.
Love that about her. Saw her when she was opening for Cher in OKC. Women fell of the edge of the stage, never missed a note, sprang her angle and still sang four songs on the egde of the stage in the stratisphere! truly amazing. She was way better than Cher
Just needed to post these lyrics...My favorite Cyndi song.
True Colors
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh, I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Good morning everyone. Sounds like a great concert. I love Cyndi. I also saw her open for Cher a few ago and enjoyed her immensely. My favorite Cyndi song has always been Time After Time.
Seasons In The Sun. A couple others of the time that I hated were, Billy Don't Be A Hero and Rock The Boat.
I used to love The Stylistics. I thought their songs were so romantic.
"You make me feel brand new" love that song
You are everything and everything is you.
I'm stone in love with you
Captain and Tenille....Love will keep us together. OY, Busrides to school.
Have you ever been Mellow- Olivia Newton John
Muskrat Love
one hit wonder..."Playground In My Mind"...my name is Michael I got a nickel...I got a nickel shiny and new..I'm gonna buy me all kinds of candy that's what I'm gonna do" another 45 that got worn out..LOL !!!
Oh my God. I forgot that song. I hated that one so much.
I hated Seasons in the Sun, but I loved Afternoon Delight.
Love Will Keep Us Together was my favorite song as a kid!
The first single I ever bought with my own money was the 45 of On the Radio by Donna Summer. How could I NOT be gay?
hehe....Matt, I know the feeling....if my mother didnt know by the records I bought....good lord, she was more in denial than I thought!!
What's funny Nina is that these stupid songs are the ones that get stuck in your head.
I know. I have Seasons In The Sun stuck in my head now. I'm desperately trying to replace it with Love Will Keep Us Together.
Boobs must be busy today....not much talkin today....cat got your tongue Boobs?
Yes Bobby...I just want to scream today "Shut Up All Of You !!!" Do you think that will go over big here on the NYSE floor??? Don't they know I'm busy with my BWW friends???
LOL...You MIGHT get an odd look if you yelled that for about 2 seconds and then it was would be business as usual.
I think my favorie song growing up was Sir Eltons'
"Good-bye Yellowbrick Road"
I mean.. "I'm going back to my plough.
Back to the hootin' owl in the woods.
Back to the horny back toad.."
One of his mannnnny misheard lyrics!
I still love all the stupid songs.
Glad to hear you had a great time last night boobs. When she opened for Cher the time I saw her, a couple seats in front of us were empty. A man and a woman finally show up and take those seats. The intermission comes, and the woman turns around and starts talking to us, telling us that they were mainly there to see Cyndi. I couldn't figure out why they would show up 40 minutes late. If the person I'm going to a concert mainly to see is going to be the first one on, you can bet your sweet patootie, I'm going to allow plenty of time to get there and have my butt in that seat for the first note played.

I saw Cyndi open twice for Cher and that's why I had to go to her own concert...knowing she would do a lot more. bdwaygirl...isn't there just something special about the Arts Center? Just brings back so many memories...I remember when they were building it and the first concert I saw there...The Pointer Sisters with Johnny Mathis. Funny thing was he was singing a new song at the time "That's the time...I feel like making love to you..."...he forgot the words like 3 times and kept starting over until finally he just gave up and pulled a Sinatra and did a do be do be do. I'll just never forget that.
