Stayin' Alive - The Bee Gees



How old were you when the movie
Saturday Night Fever
came out?

(Which by the way...
I still have this album)


I am not going to throw numbers
out there to let you do the math..
I was 17.
WOW....where has the time
gone.
40 years since the movie
came out

I love the Bee Gees.
I love John Travolta.
I love Saturday Night Fever.
I loved DISCO.

I am a child of the 60's
but I was alive in the
70's!
I lived through 70's
the 80's and the 90's but
I have to say that I feel
the best music came out
of the 70's.
And the Bee Gees were
a big part of that.

Sitting here watching the
Stayin' Alive special
about the Gibbs Brothers.
Reliving my youth. Reliving
when life was so simple.

Wow...what a great show.
Great artist preforming the
songs of the Bee Gees and
Andy Gibbs.



I have laughed, I have sang,
I have teared up but
most of all I did what
John Travolta said at the
first of the show...
I have DANCED.

Dakota thinks I have lost
my mind.

I hope you were able to enjoy
the show like I have. I really
wished I had recorded it to
watch again later.

I have a few pics to share that
I took of the show.
Did not think of it till it
was 30 mins into the show but
I will share what I have.

Barry Gibbs, the last remaining Gibbs Brother.

Great show!
The only thing I wished
had happened was for
John Travolta to have
danced like in the
movie.
Thanks for spending sometime with
me in 1977

I was 20 in 1977. I was in jr. college here in the little town we moved to last July! Loved the music of the Bee Gee's and a girlfriend and I saw them in concert in Atlanta!

40 years ago I was 32 and have never seen the movie.. not a Travolta fan, I am a child of the 50's when it comes to music.. there are many movies I have not seen because we had no TV until 1960 and even then I never watched it and could not afford movies so missed most of the ones back then.

I love all the old Bee Gees songs. They had a tribute show on PBS not long ago, did you see it?

I LOVED the Bee Gees. It was 1977 when the song was released. That was 40 years ago and I am now 58. Oh I thought Barry was the hottest guy ever! LOL! This was fun going down memory lane. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

I am so bummed! I didn't know about the special until it was happening (I don't have regular tv). I tried to catch it streaming online, but somehow got my timezones mixed up and CBS would only show me the very last two minutes. UGH! I can only hope that I can catch the full show eventually on youtube or netflix at some point.

The Bee Gees were such a big part of the 70's. So many hits. Andy Gibb was my first crush - I will openly admit I had his poster on my wall.

I was not allowed to see Saturday Night Fever. It was too old for me when it came out. (I was a child.) I have since seen it, though...

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Done Deal, Fall Color, Paint Class, New Man, Treat, and Soup, Cats and Broom

Well, what was I thinking? HAHA After laying on my couch in so much pain all summer, I knew moving closer to  Amber was the thing to do, The timing of finding my dream home was off. However, Two days of Open House and I have a contract. Selling as is, minor repairs.  Inspection to be done after  the work in the  den and BR is done. The process of getting here while just a couple of weeks of healing was a challenge. My daughter was a big  help weekend before  last. I just collect to many projects that I  never get around to and that has to stop. I have to say, last time  was easier, I had moved into my childhood home before I sold the other, so it was empty when sold. EASIER. I hate moving so close to Christmas but it is  what it is. Fall seems to have made it to us the past week. I am surprised, we were losing so many leaves due to no rain,  glad to have some color. In between packing, cleaning, repairs and life in general, I have  managed to do a few things. I taught a paint class an

Hot Water Heater Mishaps

Image
 As I stated the hot water heater sprung a leak, from the bottom.  My younger brother came to help  with the issue. Problem, the  value at the bottom where you screw in  the hose to drain the tank, was  all clogged up.  It sets so close to the bottom  that it is hard to slip a  bucket under to catch water if we were to get the clog undone. There was no moving it till water was drained off the tank. We opened the top value, and leaned it over to drain into buckets. I have a great big  plastic tub, like this one. We filled it by leaning the  hot water heater over. Finally got enough off to be able to slid onto the two wheeler  and move out of the garage. Once we had it there,  we lowered it to the ground and let it finish with the drain. Mark went to Lowes and got another one, installed it and  had me up and running. The damage had been done though. With the unit on the  other side of the BR, water came under the wall and flooded the BR,  and the carpet in the den.  Yes, the same two roo
