How could I have forgotten to mention Neil Diamond. Such a great voice and body of work!

I knew Neil Diamond's parents, @StarSong! You're in the business so were they. They had a schmatta shop in Brooklyn named 'Diamonds.' Lucky name!

Were they nice people ?

They were funny, they were characters. Just knew them like forever, didn't realize the connection to Neil for years afterwards! Speaking of Neil:

2 blocks from Diamond's was Sedacca's. They sold hot dogs by the beach and were Neil Sedaka's family! Everyone knew them for years & years.

..I'm sure that they would never imagined once their son got super famous that by the time he was in his 80's , because of a pandemic he would be giving concerts from his home..

My friend Judy's mother played Mah Jong with some mothers of the Tokens (The Lion Sleeps Tonight).

...so sad that he now has PD.... and was diagnosed almost 4 years ago

This was him looking great during the height of the pandemic..

 

[hollydolly]

Phil Everly... mymothers' generation, but I had the hots for Phil .... I just thought his voice had so much more of a range than Don's... ( although I loved both of them as a Duo)

 

[Pepper]

I find this music so exciting I think I need a rest! Seriously though, years ago was contemplating those essential questions like 'why me?' 'why here?' why at THIS Time?' and the answer I came up with was, still is FOR THE MUSIC!
