Flashback Friday: Donny and Marie

Posted on by

I’m so excited about tonight’s Donny & Marie Osmond Christmas concert! 😀 I know they probably won’t sing the following songs, but they’re still great and are helping me reminisce about my childhood. ❤

One of my many favorite D&M tunes.

My brother often sang me this song, which is from the Goin’ Coconuts film soundtrack.

Born On This Day: Donny Osmond

Posted on by

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite singers, Donny Osmond!

Ironically, a week from today, I’m seeing Donny and Marie perform live!

A little trivia: The Donny & Marie Show was my first television memory and Donny was my first celebrity crush. My very first concert was at age 13, when I saw Donny and Marie perform at the same venue where I’ll be seeing them perform Dec. 16th! In fact, my older brother (he and I basically have the same relationship Donny has with Marie…along with some witty banter) took me to this show and as I recall, Donny ran around the entire venue during the concert. My brother then told me to pull out my hand–which I did–and as Donny ran by us, he shook it. After this moment, I literally didn’t wash my right hand for the next three days! 😀

At the top of my bucket list is to meet these down-to-earth, talented siblings, who I’ve always felt a connection with and whose humor, and music have inspired me throughout my life. 🙂 ❤

Flashback Friday: Duran Duran

After Tuesday’s presidential election, I felt disillusioned, shocked, sad and angry. The results were NOT what I had expected. I’m hoping by listening to Duran Duran–specifically this song–it will help me remain optimistic about our country’s future. 🙁 🙂

But nobody knows what’s gonna happen tomorrow
We try not to show how frightened we are
If you let me – I’ll protect you – however I can
You’ve got to believe it’ll be alright in the end
You’ve got to believe it’ll be alright again
