Favorite Things Friday: Memories in Black and White




People! This month is crazytown. I'm serious! I was just listing off all the things that are going on right now, like, this week -  lets see: house appraisal for refinance, car appraisal to get it fixed from a fender bender last week, rental car procurement, throwing a gingerbread house decorating party for my kid and friends, freelance work for American Greetings, keeping up with my etsy shop, Christmas shopping, taking kiddo to the nutcracker, trying to figure out when to see my friends in between it all. All great things, I assure you! But all at once makes me feel a tad overwhelmed.

So due to crazytown, this week's installment of FTF will be video heavy. Both of these songs were paramount in my art school days. No, not because I went to school between the years 1954 and 1967, but because I was obsessed with this type of music at that time. My studio mates and I listened to it constantly. I have such fond memories of dancing around the silkscreen studio (sometimes on tabletops) with a drippy squeegee in hand busting out ridiculous moves to some of these tunes, or dancing with my pal Uncle Beefy in the coffee shop we worked in together. Such sweet memories of a much simpler time.
