Sweet And Saucy

In my world

some songs are sweet

and some songs are saucy.

I learned that from my Grandma Ginger.

My Grandma Ginger was really into songs from the Big Band Era.

This is my second Christmas in my 44 years of life without her.

Who knows- maybe this year I’ll sing and play it for my nieces.

We’ll see.

Anyway.

This song

 is dedicated to my Grandma Ginger

Pennsylvania 6-5000 is said to be the oldest continuing phone number in New York City, New York. It belongs to the Hotel Pennsylvania and has been in continuous use since 1919.[1] The telephone number is based on the old telephone exchange name system. The first two letters “PE” in PE6-5000 stand for the rotary dial numbers 7 and 3, making the number (with Manhattan’s area code) +1 (212) 736-5000.

Pennsylvania 6-5000

(lyrics)

I got my shoes shined up
I got my hair slicked down
‘Cause baby I wanna hit the town
Call me – Pennsylvania 6-5000

I’m gonna shake you up (all night)
Rock you all night long (all right)
Baby you got something
Goin’ on
Call me – Pennsylvania 6-5000

Write it down,in your book
On your wall,oh baby just call
Pennsylvania 6-5000

You got the look I like(oh yeah)
Come on and show it off
Whatever your doin’ blow it off
Call me – Pennsylvania 6-5000

You know I just got paid
I got my hot rod wheels
So if you wanna find out how it feels
Call me – Pennsylvania 6-5000

Write it down,in your book
On your wall,oh baby just call
Pennsylvania 6-5000
In your room,in your bed
Keep it in your head,oh baby just call
Pensylvannia 6-5000

Hey oh(hey oh)
Hey oh(hey oh)
Na na na na(na na na na)
Pensylvania 6-5-0-0-0
Write it down,in your book
On your wall,oh baby just call
Pensylvania 6-5000
In your room,in your bed
Keep it in your head,oh baby just call
Pennsylvania 6-5000
Pennsylvania 6-5-0-0-0

Here is a link to a site called

Web-Radio Christmas Stations

My Favorite Station  Is

Christmas New Orleans Style…

( Oh Kitty….are you there? )

I just heard a version of the 12 Days of Christmas where somebody’s true love gave them a voodoo doll.

Here’s the youtube clip- you guys just HAVE to hear this song:

Told you.

It’s Great.

Have fun with the other stations too.

Made You Look

When I was little I had this fascination for things in jars- food, marbles, babies, two headed cats and dogs, mutant fish and frogs, internal organs

 and of course ships.

Put it in a jar and I would sit there and soak in every little detail

for hours at a time.

And now I think that what I was doing

was waiting for those preserved things in jars

 to move.

 

Could It Be? Could it?

promo1Could this be the best

David Tennant Photo EVER?

I’m not sure.

I think I see some research

in my future.

Lots and lots of

research.

Wow.

Being a serious writer

is hard work!

My Thanksgiving Note To All

PLEASE NOTE

I am Thankful For:

Godzilla Movies- because when I was a kid it was nice to see a big monster make grown-ups ( who looked teeny tiny people ) cry like babies.

My husband- and I’m not saying that because I desperately want Pirate Boots for Christmas, I’m saying that because I’m going to GET Pirate Boots for Christmas.

My family who not only accept me in all of my weirdness they can do it with a smile on their faces ( okay, so they’re laughing hysterically, whatever- sometimes you have to take what you get )

My friends out here in the real world who put up with me in the cyber-world and support my writing- just by reading it- no kidding,-like it’s not enough to deal with me-  on top of that they deal with my weird stories about cannibals and graveyards and the stuff I write here.

They’re Saints I tell you…SAINTS.

I’m also thankful for my Cats and my Dogs because they remind me everyday that I’m not an island, that what I do affects the world around me and that one good deed can without a doubt not matter-

 but you should do them anyways.

And of course, I’m thankful for Bruce Campbell and David Tennant and Swing Music and of course Mozart.

So as I spend Thursday in self indulgence mode, I am going to be thankful for the world around me and for the people and thing inside of it

and I’m going to enjoy it all.

I hope you do to.

Happy T-Day
