Old School Friday: I Can Drink To That…

Happy OSF! So New Year’s Eve is next Wednesday, and this theme is to get prepared for that day. I remember spending New Year’s Eve over my granny’s, with my aunts and uncles downstairs playing cards and the catfish and spaghetti and cornbread in abundance. Ah, memories! My interpretation of this theme is a good ole house party, with loud music and plenty of food, reminiscent of my granny’s house back in the day…there was always plenty of good music flowing at these get togethers…this is where I learned my appreciation for good music…I give you two of my faves:

This takes me back. I still have my Brick House t-shirt. Of course it no longer fits; I guess the house is a mansion now.

Happy OSF.

Happy OSF! I had to listen to the Brick House mix twice!

Thank you for visiting my blog earlier today. I invite your blog readers to check out my tribute to Eartha Kitt as she sings 'Santa Baby'. I'm not sure we appreciated her in America as much as she was appreciated in other countries around the world...

peace, Villager

Now I can definitely tip a drink to the Commodores. But I think I'd be doing something else to Cry Together... [In my best Pops impersonation] Shhhhh don't tell nooo-body!

omg - Brick House, we thought that was pretty racy back in the day, lol! Oh, thanks for posting that one - what a stroll down memory lane, pardon the pun!

I always spend New Year's Eve tucked up and safely away from the amateurs, lol, but . . .

I'm drinking to EARTHA KITT today in tribute to a legendary entertainer who left us yesterday.

Happy OSF and Happy New Year, Ms. M!!!!

The Commodores and the OJAYs, excellent selections! And we knew how to slow down and party too!

Two absolute gems. I still here "Brick House" and smile! What a dance record! What words can I use to describe the soulful stylings of Eddie Levert? Excellent choices. Happy OSF:-)

Cry together is an all time favorite of mine, Classic! When I hear Brick House I think of Sinbad in House Guest! Great picks!

Happy Holidays Marvalus!

I was just listening to Brick House today. I almost got out the car and started strolling the imaginary catwalk. LOL! That will always be my JAM! That and Cry Together are indeed classics that you hear while folks is gathered playing cards and talking ish. Great choices.

Happy OSF!
