Thank you Maya and Yehuda Devir for sharing this great photo!  

Hello World! I am so excited to share the first ever 603 Melody post from overseas. You may know Yehuda and Maya Devir from their comic book take on their married life (One of Those Days). Learn more about these two talented Israeli artists on  Yehuda and Maya i24.  They were so sweet to let me share a couple of pics and musical interests. Yehuda wrote that he and Maya enjoy a variety of music styles, so it is hard for them to say exactly which one they like the best. Yehuda loves Hip Hop, Rap, Classical, Techno, Jazz, 80s-90s music, Rock, Latin, and more. Maya enjoys 90s music, Gothic Metal, Rock, Jazz and Classical music. Yehuda added that his wife is a very good pianist as well. They are both big Bon Jovi fans too!

Thanks for checking in!

Hello World! Overnight Success

Hello World!  Break out the party hats! 603 Melody is going live (again)!  603 Melody debuted January 1st, 2018. Thanks to Olivia for helping with its initial start.  However, I quickly put the blog on hold as I came to realize I needed more how-to info. So I cajoled my husband into taking a local blogging class.  Yes, I really did bring my own personal tech support.  That way we could be on the same (blogging) page.  He is much more tech savvy and I have the crazy ummm creative vision.  In the process, I have gained some tech independence.  You really are never too old to learn new things!  So when this blog goes viral and is an overnight sensation (in 10 years- so few things are really overnight sensations) you will know that it took a leap and some hard work to get 603 Melody going.  Thanks for joining me on this journey.

Hello World! Soy Yo!

Hello World!  The song, Soy Yo, was in the Goldie Hawn/Amy Schumer movie Snatched.  The music is catchy so I looked up the video. It was not what I expected!  See for yourself- Soy Yo!  Love the positive message- Be Yourself!

Hello World! “Freshie Squeezed” Orange Juice

fullsizeoutput_83aa.jpeg

Hello World!  I will briefly jump on the recipe blog bandwagon.  This one, for a refreshing glass of OJ, is from Luke (his family sometimes calls him Freshie).  Luke plays the piano, violin, and trumpet. Some of his favorite bands include The Beatles, Journey, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Queen, and Imagine Dragons. This sixth grader also likes Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven.

Freshie Squeezed Orange Juice

First, pick a bagful of fresh oranges.

Wash and cut them in half.

Put an orange half, one at a time, on the juicer. Press down.

Repeat until you have enough juice to fill a pitcher (about 20 oranges).

Strain as you put the juice into the pitcher to get the seeds out.

Put in the refrigerator to cool down.

Then it is ready to drink.

 

 

Picking oranges had me humming  Michael Franti’s The Sound of Sunshine.

Hello World! Hard Rock Cafe

 

Hello World! Time for some food, fun, and friends at the Boston Hard Rock Cafe. I spent a great evening out with some KSC friends and family.  Among the talented Berklee performers taking the stage were Tony Ni Evans and  Jace.

Hello World! A Million Dreams…

creative-smartphone-notebook-typography.jpg

Hello World!

The other day I had the chance to talk with musician Tony Ni Evans about blogging.  Tony is currently studying at Berklee in Boston (Check out his video Born Under City Lights ). He patiently listened to me and gave some pointers.  Best of all Tony told me to EMBRACE who I am.   I am currently obsessed with The Greatest Showman.  I have been “singing” it around the house.  The idea of  “A Million Dreams” is definitely part of me. I have loads of ideas!   I think MidCentury Eclectic may sum it up too.  My aunt just calls me “spunky”.

 

Anyway if you have not seen the movie or listened to the music for The Greatest Showman what are you waiting for?

Hello World!  My first “guest” photo is from Austin, Texas.  Richard and Linda recently enjoyed a stop at the Broken Spoke (a legendary Austin Honky Tonk) on their road trip from the 603 to AZ. Tracie Lynn was the performer that evening.

Thanks for checking in!
