Do you Remember??? A Tribute to Wonderful Sophie Tucker and her Career...

Last night I saw a woman,
who looks much like this star,
 sing a song called,
 "I Live Alone and Like It!
Ok, not only was it funny,
but I thought...maybe a new
 theme song for me at my age???
 What do you think?

A Tribute to a Woman

After my Own Heart...

  2. Sophie Tucker was a Ukrainian-born American singer, comedian, actress, and radio personality. Known for her stentorian delivery of comical and risqué songs, she was one of the most popular entertainers ... Wikipedia
  4. Born: January 13, 1887, Russia
  5. Died: February 9, 1966, New York City, NY
  6. Albums: Origins Of The Red Hot Mama, 1910-1922, Last of the Red Hot Mommas, The Great Sophie Tucker
  7. Awards: Grammy Hall of Fame Award 

My sister, Dee, recently said that I'd never stopped working, even though I retired... Well, here's Sophie in 1960 appearing on Ed Sullivan, just six years before she died... So I still got a long way to go, right?

I've picked out songs that are funny because that's what she's best known for; however, she did have a beautiful voice as well... Ok, maybe my singing has been limited to churcy things, but that counts, for an amateur...

Sophia was apparently quite content at whatever age she was, and washn't concerned about sharing her thoughts on the matter...LOL



You know I've talked about reading so much and not getting much exercise, but Sophie spoke up the real truth... She sure is My Kinda Woman...

She's famous for her Red Hot Mama songs...


Welllll, we all can't be a star...LOL
You sure got That Right, Sophia...




One of These Days is one of my favorites of her songs...
What about you? Ya' Gonna Miss Me Honey?

Sure glad I heard that song last night...I enjoyed putting this together to share with all of you!

Fighting Power... Open Memoir

Recently, I got up, did the routine of feeding my cats first, and then turned on the 10PM news from the previous night. I normally start reading around 5PM most days and, if a book is really good or close to ending, I may continue to read on until I give that latest read a ranking which is sent to GoodReads and Amazon... I was, as so many others were, devastated to learn of more children being killed or hurt at a school... I am, I now admit it, in deep depression during which I can be triggered constantly by outside actions... How can we continue to claim to be a land of the free when children are murdered by those who are allowed to have guns to enter schools and shoot! And the very next report shows a man attacked on the street by ICE, taken to the ground and beaten by at least 4 men! This is not the exact video from that program, but it occurs so frequently that it always shows the exact image--a lone man, or woman, being attacked violently by men wearing masks, sometimes with no id...

Rahab's Sisters - Poetry by Guy Graybill...

Rahab's Sisters The Biblical accounts tell us that Rahab, a harlot of Jericho, hid and protected two Israelite spies in order to save her family from the coming destruction of the town. The names of the two spies went unrecorded; but, after about 3,300 years, Rahab's name lingers. Rahab is, then, one of the world's oldest, named prostitutes. Today, more than three millennia later, prostitution thrives. It remains a money-driven, exploitative, disease-spreading form of degradation and servitude, catering ever to lust; never to love. Used by Permission from Whimsy and Wry Guy Graybill I Oh, dusky, Semite harlot, Now dead three thousand years, Too bad there are no ledgers, That list your nameless peers. II But, Rahab, you're immortal, Your name we'll always know. You plied your trade by serving The johns of Jericho III You saved two spies from capture, Their names are long forgot. But, you, Rahab, a strumpet Have ...
