No Shush at the Count Basie Theatre

January 18, 2015 Outings , , , ,

What a fabulous (and noisy) program. We all went to the inaugural show yesterday in Red Bank. The NJ Symphony Orchestra did a matinee performance for kids before their grownup show last night. This is the first event at Count Basie, but I think I’ve seen this elsewhere around the state. Maybe NJPAC?

Bump Sing-Along Pt. 1 (A Playlist)

September 16, 2011 Playlists, Pregnancy, Thoughts , ,

So I actually made this playlist over the summer, but now that fall is emerging (I wore a turtleneck today!!) I’m starting to work on a new one. But I’m still listening to this one constantly, so I wanted to post it.

May Showers: The Playlist

May 18, 2011 Playlists , , ,

The rain just won’t quit around here, so it was time for a suitably maudlin new playlist. Such playlists always make Adam look at me wide-eyed because maudlin tends to equal breakup anthem. Tomorrow’s our 4th wedding anniversary, and I can assure everyone that the only reason for these songs is atmosphere. Billy Idol just doesn’t quite cut it on a rainy day. And I was feeling nostalgic for some of the old college stuff in my collection, since May=college graduation season.

Get On With It, March: The Playlist

March 22, 2011 Playlists , , , , ,

This is such a weird time of year. It hit 80 degrees last week, and tonight it’s supposed to snow. The weather doesn’t know what it wants to be. So I thought a similarly divided playlist was in order. Songs that you can dance to when spring comes, but they also have a touch of moodiness or depth or SOMETHING that makes them kind of wintry, too. At least for the most part, there are some random selections that I just felt like listening to this week. I try not to embarrass myself with my musical selections, but sometimes it just can’t be helped.
