Happy Birthday Paul McCartney

It's Paul McCartney's birthday today and he turns 70. Sir Paul has had the most distinguished career in music as a member of the British band, The Beatles. He formed Paul McCartney and The Wings and this hit is one of the band's classics. Don't let the slow start to the song keep you from listening all the way through. The song has an upbeat tempo that jams to the end.

Paul McCartney is still playing music and performing. He just recently performed at the Queen's Jubilee in London. Happy 70th Birthday Paul McCartney!

Happy Mother's Day Weekend

After a cloudy start, the sun is out on Mother's Day Weekend! Just stepped back in from the patio for a quick sun soak. Of course, coffee cup was in my hand. The birds are at the feeder for seed delight and backyard nibbles of bread. I'm spoiling them!

I know it's a busy weekend for everyone with shopping, cooking and baking in preparation for mom so I won't hold you long. I thought The Beatles Love album would be a lovely listen over the laptop while doing stuff around the house. There are some groovy hits on the album and perfect for Mother's Day weekend.

Valentine's Weekend

One of my favorite Atlanta radio stations, KISS 104.1FM has been spinning lots of "love songs" in the mix today and that got me thinking that people might be getting out this weekend for early Valentine's Day celebrating. The sweet day falls on Tuesday next week so the weekend is a clever idea especially at restaurants which are usually even more packed on the actual day. I hope your weekend is going well. It's a bitterly cold one in Atlanta and the wind is gusty. This is going to be an extra blanket night for sure;-)



I have been listening to the new album by Roberta Flack called "Let it Be Roberta: Roberta Flack Sings the Beatles." It's simply fantastic and some of the songs included are Let it Be, Come Together, and The Long and Winding Road. I have listened to the album back-to-back while working on my laptop. Roberta Flack has had a successful singing career of her own and it's nice to hear her smooth and mellow voice again.

This is one of Roberta Flack's smash hits that has been covered by Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, and British singer Susan Boyle. Let's listen to Roberta sing it, Enjoy!

Beatles Record Player

Watch Appraisal: Beatles Record Player, ca. 1965 on PBS. See more from Antiques Roadshow.

Check out the Appraisal for this Beatles Record Player at the Antiques Roadshow. It fetches a good amount, but I would hold on to this '60s vintage piece.
