In reply to Andy. I kinda thought you'd enjoy the uke/gtr rendition of the fab four's music...

Oh Jane, I can sooo relate! Our cookie-stories are priceless, if I do say so myself!
I like your cortisone ditty – quite witty.

Great, eclectic selection.
As a Beatles fan it’s always good to discover new interpretations of such familiar music.

LOVED the music. Enjoyed the medleys and transitions as well as the rapport between father and son. Also liked the panning and slow zoom around the room.That did give my spirits a lift. And the cookie jar…you told my story. I used to sneak into the kitchen and start talking to the dog. “Hi fella! how ya doin”” while I was so gently lifting the lid off the cookie jar. Just the slightest “ting!” a the lid hit the upper lip. “Jane! Are you in the cookie Jar?” “No Mom, ” Little liar. Something about February even with more light the bulge in the belly is not at all subtle. It is the time of year when i go to work singing, ” Cortisone, cortisone, heals the pain but wrecks the bone.” sung to the tune of Spider-Man. I need to get out more…

In reply to Sue. Glad it resonated with you! In all fairness, the clean kitchen you see in the video is the HiSessions recording studio in Hawaii, not the Molina's.

I figured you might need the music-busters given your Friday post, Jennie!
Have to correct your mistake,tho, teacher – the father/son duo are not family! However, I can see how you might assume as much, given our similarities in musical-history and family jam sessions (albeit with different instruments).

In reply to Janis.

Oh yeah, I selectively chose to not elaborate on the ‘discovery phase’…Ma actually thought my baby bro did the dasterdly deed(s) and he took the rap for my sins! My big bad…Yes, I wasn’t a stellar older sister at times…it wasn’t until way into adulthood that those stories came out and I admitted to being the true thief.
As for the recipe – all is documented and used frequently! 🙂

Doesn’t it seem that the music we listen to in our teen years has the deepest impact on who we become? In my head, I will always be 19.
All three selections took me down Nostalgia Road. But the Beatles medley intrigued me the most. The Molina men must have arranged it themselves. I would love to have seen their writing and rehearsal sessions. (I confess, I spent a little time wondering what they had done with the furniture, and if their kitchen was always that clean.)
About your diet — it’s a well known phenomenon that the calories don’t count if no one knows you eat them!
Now I’m going to listen to the Jim Croce album that came up on YouTube after Spirit in the Sky…

This was the best February blues buster, EVER! Best music! Your dad and brother are really terrific. Hey, the Beatles are as good as it gets. Top that off with chocolate chip cookies, win-win. Many thanks, Laura.

Love the father and son… a lot of love there. I sure hope you were able to get a copy of your mother’s cookie recipe! (Didn’t she notice that quite a few were missing the next time she went to the freezer?) 🙂
