Well it was pretty much a success helping one of my female co-workers move today. I mastered the art of ratchet tie-down straps and got the entire truck loaded up with furniture and such.
I found pockets of space in which to insert odds and ends like boxes of Christmas decorations and rolls of toilet paper, etc.
There were five of us loading the truck and I was sort of in charge due to my Tetris skills of finding the perfect space for everything. Does anybody remember the game of Tetris?
None of us wore those confounded "masks" that are so prevalent during this so-called pandemic "Covid" era. We all laughed about the virus and thought it so silly that so many were locking down on account of it.
Had a cooler full of White Claws and Truly under a good amount of ice. Really refreshing when you are moving somebody out of their house.
But anyway, we had a nice day, it was up to the low 70s here in Connecticut and after the heavy lifting was done, we basked in the sunshine, soaking up the Vitamin D, while drinking on some of those hard seltzers.
Did I mention breakfast? Perhaps not (I scrolled up to double-check). We began the day with mugs of black coffee, fried eggs in butter over easy with ample amounts of bacon. We needed our energy for what was to come! We also had a bowl of berries and another bowl of melon pieces like cantalope, watermelon and pineapple cubes. Is pineapple considered a melon? Well it was this morning.
Anyway, it was a nice day of moving furniture for a valued co-worker who is selling her home and relocating to the Deep South.
Now I get grief now and then for posting things that does not make sense with the title. So anyway, on the way back home after a fabulous day of moving, the 70s station on the Sirius/XM is playing the song "Emotion" by a woman named Samantha Sang, that was written by the Bee Gees and a big hit back in 1978 when the "Saturday Night Fever" album was popular.
Does anybody remember that song? Well, it was a good song and a big hit at the time. So now nobody can give me a hard time about a "title of thread" that does not relate to the actual column which I have wrote stream of consciousness and posted appropriately under "Bloggers & Personal" so no Freeper police can give me much of a hard time about it.
Now I'm marinating some NY Strip steaks so that I can put them into my cast iron in about an hours time and have with my sweet potatoes. I don't believe anybody should give me a hard time about that whatsoever.
:)
Now, count your fingers to make sure there’s still ten. And the pan-fried strip steaks we had last night were so good with the sauteed mushrooms and onions on the side, we didn’t even heat the white corn in butter sauce.
Thats brutal
Yes I recall it. I think she was Australian.
I know, it was sort of hard to hold back.
good times!
man those Bee Gees songs may not have been high musical art, and i don’t have them on vinyl, but their songs were some of the best produced and catchiest hits of all time. still get stuck on a loop in my head whenever i hear them on oldies radio.
Oh my! I remember! Good times!
Only now do I learn that The Bee Gees had anything at all to do with the song.
Other than that one Bee Gees song, what other hit song did she have?
Sounds like the Starland Vocal Band who won the Grammy Award for best new group for their one hit: “Afternoon Delight”, and then quickly disappeared.
I hate to ruin your steak dinner, but Samantha Sang did not age well. Here’s an interview with her from 5 years ago. I recommend you wait until after you eat to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMGAHwZo-Mk
Other than that one Bee Gees song, what other hit song did she have?
This is the only other song of hers that hit the charts anywhere:

Ummm... Jive Talkin’, You Should be Dancing, How Deep Is Your Love, Night Fever, How Can I mend a Broken Heart ... All top ten hits by The Bee Gees. Not to mention songs the Gibbs wrote, such as If I Can’t Have You (Yvonne Elliman) and More Than a Woman (Tavares) that became hits for others. You may not like them, but they were far from one hit wonders.
You know, for most of my life I actually thought it WAS The Bee Gees singing that song...
You and me both.
Her current net worth is $1.9 million so obviously those royalty checks have been kind to her over the years.
All you really need is one big hit song and you are set for life.
I remember seeing Bobby "Boris" Pickett at a Halloween concert in or around 1989. He was still doing very well with the "Monster Mash."
Never mind...It helps if one reads the post correctly when one replies. Reading comprehension is your friend. My apologies.
so samantha sang other songs...
What is wrong with her. She is an old women.
Aging well or not, she is still alive which can be said for more than 2/3 of the Bee Gees.
