Monday Minute {5/23}

Monday Minute

1 - Think back as far as you can, what's the first tape, record, etc you remember listening to?
James Taylor. My dad is a huge fan and it's always been a part of my life. So much so that Husband and I chose a James Taylor song for our first dance. And my dad and I danced to a JT song as well.



2 - What's the first concert you've ever been to, the year and who performed?
That would be JT again. Whenever he came to town our whole family would go. It was usually at an outdoor amphitheater and we'd have snacks and sing along and snuggle under blankets. It was awesome.


3 - Ever bleed from your ass?
Talk about shifting gears. And the answer, thankfully, is no. From just about every other square inch of my body, yes. I have the grace of a drunk monkey on roller skates. I can hurt myself in bare feet on flat ground.


4 - If you went to your Senior Prom and had a date, do you still speak to said person?
No prom for me. In fact I only still talk to one person I went to high school with...I run into other occasionally. But those people are never on purpose.


and finally...


5 - Name the one television show that's no longer on the air that could have gone on forever.
Ohhh...this is a good one. And there are a bunch of them. Maybe Studio 60. It was so well written, really clever. And I like shows that aren't in one box. I loved that it was comedy and drama.

James Taylor is great. I'm curious, which song did you and Husband dance to? :)

I hope you had a wonderful weekend with Pie!

Husband and I danced to My Romance, and my dad and I danced to Mexico. My dad and I danced to that song a lot when I was little and then at the wedding, and then he danced with Pie to it on vacation last year. I was a big old weepy mess!

We had a great weekend, lots of pool time. Hope you guys had a great one. I'm sure Isla kept you busy!
got here through the hop and stuck around a bit. Your lil girl is adorable. http://noguilelifeandotherstoriesfromautism.blogs...

I love JT too. I saw him in concert and it was just him, his guitar and a reel to reel player. It was awesome. Only thing he ever did that I didn't like was leave Carly Simon out of his autobiography. I thought that was weird. Maybe they agreed to that, but it would see strange to write about your life and leave out a wife and children she bore you. Who knows?

Anyway, stopping by from the MM hop. Have a great day

That is strange. They must have had some agreement...she's way to big a part of his life to be left out otherwise!
LOL. I have a wonderful visual of a drunk monkey on roller skates now. Much better then the bleeding from your ass visual!
My first concert was The Cure. Loved it!

Nicely done with The Cure! Love them...I think I had half a dozen binders in school with The Cure drawn on in marker. Or if I was feeling really cool Echo and The Bunnymen.
LOVED Studio 60, really anything Aaron Sorkin has ever been involved in writing!

I was really bummed when it was cancelled. It was so well written.
The Drunk Monkey was funny and an easier visual:) I know of Studio 60 and always wanted to see more than just short clips from it. I picked Ed Sullivan..I guess we age ourselves but only in knowledge

Totally worth trying to grab Studio 60 on NetFlix. Except then you'll be sad it's not on anymore. :)
James Taylor. I can't decide if that is better or worse than my dad's favorite. - Marty Robbins.

haha, fun questions. I've never heard of Studio 60. i may or may not have answered "arrested development" for that one :)
1 reply · active 723 weeks ago
Ohhh...Arrested Development. That's an excellent one! I'd easily put that in as a tie.
James Taylor also reminds me of my childhood. Love him! I sing 'Sweet Baby James' to Hudson every night to put him to sleep :) and my mom did that for all of us kids too. John Denver is another one that takes me back. Rocky Mountain High anyone?? Ahhh...love!

My first concert? The Beach Boys!!! At Six Flags no less.

Sweet Baby James is one of my favorites. I sing it to Pie too adn change the words to her name :)

Concerts at Six Flags were the best! I saw Drivin n' Cryin and They Might Be Giants at ours. Both awesome shows.

And thanks a lot...I'm going to be humming Rocky Mountain High for the rest of the day!
Bwahahaha....I don't believe you're that clumsy...I envision you as super graceful. Don't ruin the illusion! ;)
