Today’s Favorite Song

Published on by Lady K QuiltsLeave a comment

AFN (Armed Forces Network) just aired NBC’s Live @ Rockefeller Center Special this evening.  My favorite performance was by Beyonce as she sang a rendition, with added parts it seemed, of Ave Maria.  As I was listening the song rang a memory bell in my head.  Parts of the song sounded a lot like a Madonna tune from her Like a Prayer album.  It was a beautiful song and tribute to her mother called Promise To Try.  Now I don’t know if you will hear the similarities too but luckily YouTube had both songs available.  Let me know what you think!

Book Settings ~ The Most Popular Cities

Published on by Lady K Quilts5 Comments

I’ve noticed that a large majority of of the books I’ve read this year and books on my TBR/ARC shelves take place in New York City.  That’s ten books total.  Bachelor Degree, Between Here & April, Schooled, What Happened to Anna K., The Last Summer of You & Me, Sail, Matrimony, The Great Man, Garlic & Sapphires, The New Yorkers, & Free Food For Millionaires.  I love NYC and after reading all these books and the few I still have to read, I am ready for a shopping/dining/tourist trip to The Big Apple.  I guess New York City isn’t just major inspiration for songwriters and movie sets.

Have you noticed a repeated pattern in the settings of your recent reads?  Does reading about a place over and over again in one or more books make you want to go there?  If you did go or would go, where would it be to?

Today’s Favorite Song

Published on by Lady K Quilts2 Comments

Last night I was talking with my friend Juli on the phone and she mentioned the mix cd’s I had given her for her birthday last year.  She told me that all day she had played Madonna’s “Ray of Light” over and over again.  This song has a great beat, cool lyrics and a melody that stays with you throughout the day.  It’s full of hope and happiness and always makes me move and smile.

Now for those of you who know me, I LOVE MADONNA!!!!!!!!!  I have been in love with her since 1984 when I was in the fourth grade and saw the music video for “Like A Virgin” at a friends house on MTV (we did not have cable in my family’s house until 2000).  Ever since I have been obsessed with the Material Girl, Queen of Pop.  I have all her albums and admire all her work in music and many transformations.  So today, I will post Juli’s favorite song of the day, “Ray of Light” for your viewing and listening enjoyment.
