   How about another game? We can even use the songs we use in the ABC's game.  The last letter of the last posted song will be the first letter of the next song. Reply to the start post of the thread.   If someone posts the same " first lettered" song at the same time, no problem.   No need to correct anyone.   Simply, use whatever the last letter of that posted song to post your title. Have Fun!

 Not sure if this has been done before (got tired of searching after 20 or 30 pages and search function doesn't always provide expected results).  List a song title with it's group/singer alphabetically. A - Z and start over. I think there should be a song somewhere for every letter. Any year is acceptable. Double postings are ok. Starting off with:    A Hard Day's Night  - Beatles   For the letters Q, X and Z:   When those letters come up, you may skip them and post the next letter. Or, you can post a Q, X or Z and post the next letter if you wish. Either choice is fine.

OkayThis is meant to be a long running topic .  The rules are simple and there are a zillion songs out there, so lets see what we can do with this.You start with a song title.  Let's use  Love in an Elevator - AerosmithYou look at that title, pick out one word from it and find a new song title with that word in it,( example, In & Out of Love - Bon Jovi)  then post the new title as your post.  The next person follows.   See easySo lets give it a try.    My title is   Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith.Diane

It looks like we need a new topic. So, I saw this elsewhere on the internet, and thought we might want to try it out here. You take two song titles with a common word or words, and then link them together to create a new title. For example: Band on the Run by Wings + Run Through the Jungle by CCR = Band on the Run Through the Jungle It’s okay to “recycle” or “reprise” song titles in various combinations. 

  Change a letter or a word in a song title to make it funny (not dirty).Type the correct title, then your funny one. I got the idea for this game after seeing some of my typos while entering song titles.  Will start with Fields of Gold - Sting Fields of Golf 

Hello AARP We totally enjoyed Grown Ups Movie Night 🍿 are there any coming up soon!!!! Thank you Natalie Coy 

It was probably in 2019 that I posted a link under “Old People Dancing” to the first video below. Well, Swing and ChaCha with Angie Major, recorded February 10, 2024, have been added to my YouTube account. I do not recommend them as examples of good dancing but as a curiosity/illustration of how dancing, that I started at age 12, is a wonderful, healthful, and fun activity in which one can engage for … well, a many years. Swing with Darlene Bingham Swing with Angie Major ChaCha with Angie Major

On June 14, 1980 Bill Joel started a six-week run at No.1 on the US album chart with Glass Houses, his second US No.1 album. The album features Joel's first song to peak at No.1 on Billboard's Pop Singles chart, 'It's Still Rock and Roll to Me.' His first No. 1 album? Check out the blog for the answer! Billy’s first number one song “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” provides the theme for today’s playlist, songs with some variation of Rock and Roll in their title. Some Rock & Roll song greats include Bob Seger “Old Time Rock & Roll” and “Rock And Roll Never Forgets,” Chuck Berry “Rock And Roll Music,” Joan Jett “I Love Rock ’N Roll,” Huey Lewis “The Heart of Rock And Roll,” The Rolling Stones “It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll,” Eric Clapton “I’ve Got a Rock ’N’ Roll Heart,” Boston “Rock & Roll Band,” Led Zeppelin “Rock and Roll,” Kiss “Rock And Roll All Nite,” Bad Company “Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy,” John Fogerty “Rock and Roll Girls,” Elton John “Rock And Roll Madonna,” Meat Loaf “R

Really enjoyed reading this today, and went to Spotify to listen to his new album, Brightside. Need a lift today? Listen to it.. Love it as I’m bopping around the house. ✌️😎

Looking for recommendations for dinner (more than pizza/burgers) and some blues music in/around Chicago. Too old to get to rowdy.

I have to ask, anyone watched the special "Forever Young: A Grammy Salute to Rod Stewart Live"? He was one of my most cherished singers back then and in fact attended a concert in '86 (26+ costume changes) while pregnant with middle daughter who is now truly designing woman... This special is pretty awesome. Thanks for reading.

  After the influx of complaints lately, I thought we could use a few laughs about the subject.     What ones can you find?

Hello everyone. I am an author and writing instructor, and I am curious if anyone out there has ever dreamed of writing/publishing a book. If so, what's the big dream? Become a best-selling author? Publish your book for family and friends? Start a second career as a writer?  Then the next big question, what's stopping your from accomplishing that dream?

There’s something about music and cars - a match made in Heaven. As a teen cruising in my ride (a ’72 VW Beetle), back before digital media and streaming, I’d be listen to tunes mostly on the radio, beholden to the DJs and what they’d play. Rotating through my preset stations, usually WCCC, “The Rock”, WHCN, “The River” famous for album oriented rock, rock blocks, and double shots, and WPLR out of New Haven, I’d search for the best song in the moment. And now and then, I’d stumble upon a song that would instantly inspire a spontaneous right hand to the volume knob, spinning it clockwise to crank up the volume. So what better inspiration for a playlist than songs that made me, over the years, as Autograph wails in the refrain of their song, “turn up the radio.” Obviously some band and albums inspire cranking up the volume, like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, hair metal, etc. But I’m talking about individual songs that back before streaming, in the car or at home, would make you
