@shoelady60,

Stay safe and dry. I hope your mom and sister gets off to a great vacation.

Barry Manilow was great yesterday on stage he is only two years younger than my
parents I’ve heard his music for so long I know ever song. Dad and Mom loved Barry
I cover his music often on this thread.

Copacabana (At the Copa) – 1985
Song by Barry Manilow

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa they fell in love
Copa, Copacabana
His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit to far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa, she lost her love
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
like in Havana
(Copa, banana)
Music and passion were always in fashion
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it’s a disco, but not for Lola
Still in dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she’s lost her mind
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the copa don’t fall in love
don’t fall in love
(Copacabana)

Little Town Flirt
Song by Del Shannon

Here she comes, that little town flirt
You’re falling for her and your gonna get hurt
Yeah, I know it’s so hard to resist
The temptation of her tender red lips
But you can get hurt, hur-hur-hurt
Yeah, you can get hur-hur-hur-hur-hurt
Foolin’ around with that little town flirt
Here she comes with that look in her eye
She plays around with every guy that goes by
Yeah, I know she’s gonna treat you wrong
So your heart just better be strong
‘Cause you can get hurt, hur-hur-hurt
Yeah, you can get hur-hur-hur-hur-hurt
Foolin’ around with that little town flirt
I know how you feel, you think her love is real
You think this time she’ll be sincere
But you’ll think you gotta paper heart
When she starts to tear it apart
That’s when she’ll let you go
Whoa whoa whoa
Here she comes, just look at that style
She’s looking at you, giving you that smile
But I know she’s gonna treat you wrong
So your heart just better be strong
‘Cause you can get hurt, hur-hur-hurt
Yeah, you can get hur-hur-hur-hur-hurt
Foolin’ around with that little town flirt
You bette run and hide now, boy
You better pass her by now, yeah boy
You better run away now, yeah

Club Sheba Leo Edition

@oodiebom, A Good Afternoon to you and your husband. I hope you enjoyed the concert yesterday. I left you a post yesterday. I hope your husband is doing better. As I read your posts I am glad he is walking better. No rain as of yet today. I hope your property up North will be safe. I did some trimming of the front bushes, husband helped but got his finger cut in the process so I finished it by myself. I was drenched from head to toes and lost a few pounds. Came in and I was shaking and I had lots of water to drink. After a warm shower I felt better. I hope you are taking care of yourself too Oodie. Take care.

@sheba2011, Good Afternoon to you, today we have a partly cloudy/partly sunny Sunday. It is full moon and the perfect day to plant. Later if it doesn’t storm I will be trimming the bushes in the front. They have grown so much, placed there by the builder’s landscaping company. They have beautiful berries and purple flowers that the bees and bumblebees love. However they have gotten so big just a matter of time before we get a letter from the HOA. So today being full moon it is a good day to trim. I still have Berry Manilow cassette tapes, I used to go dancing alot in the twenties, thirties and forties. Barry had so many beautiful songs, one of my many songs to dance to was Copacabana. Happy planting, take care.

@kittengirl,

Thinking of you and your family in California please be well.

Cherie,

Good morning in S. California wishing you and your family a safe and good Sunday.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the beautiful ‘burgh. Make it a good one I hope your weather is
alright. I know your mom and sister are getting ready for Las Vegas.
I hope they have a great time and no flight issues.

Oz Governor just put out a press release that six of our large hospital have no ICU beds
for Covid-10 patients. This sucks I am so sick of this virus. I will leave it at that. Shizzle!

Blowing kisses at Jake’s Canvas I do miss him too.

@71flowerchild,

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. I hope this day finds you doing well.

Heidi Daus will be on this week. I have worked on three threads today.

I am going for a nice walk with Poppy as I like to move my body I loved the NYC
Concert too bad it was stopped early due to the weather. I do hope they try and do
this again there is nothing like live music.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast. I know you are watching the storms for your other
two homes in the North. I pray no damage or problems with storm Henri.

Hey how is your weather there on the Gulf Coast? We had a thunderstorm really hard
on Friday night so far so good. My yards and gardens look pretty good.

Oodie let us know how your husband and you are doing today. Try not to over do anything
if you can help it. I hope you can make it to the Market if you need things. Yes I did enjoy
the wonderful concert in NYC. I hope there is more to come in the future.

@xango,

Good day in Florida. I hope this Sunday finds you doing well. Xango I loved the cool
story on how you met your husband. Congrats on 35 years of marriage let me know the
date and I will do a small Anniversary Gallery for you. I do that for anyone who would like
it done.

I did enjoy the NYC Concert I knew it was coming because CNN has been doing promos
all month for it. I was not sure because of the weather if it could be pulled off but what I did
see before the rains came was very good. I love Barry Manilow and he was singing I made it
through the rain and then that is when every one has to clear Central Park. Sigh…

I hope they can do that again not one group was disappointing I was just thrilled to see
live music. A lot of what you saw means a lot to me in my personal life.

I too am sorry the Bruce the Boss did not get to perform no worries I am sure he will do
a set in the future. Have a great Sunday and OZ is alright today I am going to plant some
new flowers I am thinking mums.
