Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

GOOD MORNING TO EVERYONE ELSE......

...TIME FOR THE QUESTION OF THE DAY.....

.....A LOT OF PEOPLE WATCH "AMERICAN IDOL", AND ENJOY THE PEOPLE THAT GO ON THE SHOW AND SING.....BOTH THE GOOD ONE'S , AND THE NOT SO GOOD ONE'S........

******************* SO *******************

...TODAY'S QUESTION IS.......

........ ARE YOU COMFORTABLE OR UNCOMFORTABLE SINGING IN PUBLIC?
....LIKE IN CHURCH OR SCHOOLS, ETC.....

FAMILY PHOTO OF THE DAY

FOR U JERRY LAGRECA...UNCLE CHUBBY PERROTTA AND COUSIN DONNIE AT THE REUNION A VERY HAPPY TIME LOOK AT DONNIE HOW HAPPY HE WAS

YOUR PAL CHUBBY FROM WHEN U WERE YOUNG...ENJOY
HOPE U R FEELING BETER JERRY WE MISS YOU

AND FOR U RALPHIE..... YOUR BROTHER DONNIE

...ME PERSONALLY.....I COULDN'T CARRY A TUNE IF IT WAS IN A PAPER BAG....LOL

I DON'T MIND SINGING IN CHURCH OR SCHOOL IN A CROWD WHERE NO ONE CAN HEAR ME. I CAN NOT SING FOR NOTHING WISH I COULD

TERRY.....FYI.....IN 1972, THERE WAS A BLOCK PARTY ON 27TH STREET.
...WITH LITTLE NOTICE, I PUT A BAND TOGETHER AND PLAYED. WE SET UP RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR COUSIN KAREN'S HOUSE, AND YOUR UNCLE CHUBBY AND AUNT MARIE, LET US PLUG IN TO THEIR HOUSE FOR ELECTRICITY FOR OUR INSTRUMENTS.
....I REMEMBER YOUR AUNT ASKING ,"DOES IT USE A LOT OF ELECTRICITY", AND I SAID..."NO MORE THEN A TOASTER" SHE REPLIED
" A TOASTER USES A LOT OF ELECTRIC"......OOOPS
.......I NEVER FORGOT THAT......ASK KAREN IF SHE REMEMBERS THAT....MAYBE THERE ARE PICTURES OF THE PARTY SOMEWHERE!

THAT IS FUNNY. I MISS HER SO MUCH WE WERE VERY CLOSE. SHE IS MY DAD'S SISTER. I WAS ALWAYS OVER HER HOUSE WHEN I WAS A KID. I AM HER FIRST BORN NIECE SO WE LIVED TOGETHER IN THE SAME HOUSE BEFORE SHE MARRIED CHUBBY. WHAT A SMALL WORLD....

I'M LOOKING RIGHT NOW FOR SOME OLD PHOTOS...BEAR WITH ME...I'LL BE BACK IN A FEW

OK JOEY MIA SAW ELMO AND SHE SAID PUT ON SHE THINKS IT IS LIKE THE ONE UMBRIA AND I THINK U PUT ON AND HE SINGS.

IF YOU THINKS MY JOKES ARE BAD
YOU SHOULD HEAR ME SING

LEAVING FOR WORK SOON

BUT BEFORE I GO

JOKE O'DAY

Old Pa Jones was getting ready to go into town to apply for
Social Security.

Old Ma Jones says, "But Pa, you don't have a birth certificate.
How are you gonna prove your age?"

"Now don't you worry, Ma," says Pa, and he leaves for town.

Old Pa returns home a few hours later and reports that he'll be
getting the first check in about three weeks.

"So how'd ya prove your age?" asks Ma.

"Easy," says Pa, smiling. "I just unbuttoned my shirt and showed
'em all the gray hairs on my chest."

"Well, while you were at it," scolds Ma, "why didn't you drop
your pants and apply for disability?"

Jim....great joke.....LOL

I have a lot of running around to do today. Shoprite, bakery, liquor store......trying to get everything I need for Samantha's confirmation party sunday.

But first I need another cup of coffee.

....JIM.....YOUR JOKE'S ARE MUCH BETTER THEN MY SINGING....
.....OF ALL THE BANDS I HAVE BEEN IN, NONE OF THEM EVER LET ME SING......NOW, THAT'S BAD.....

GOOD MORNING DEBBIE......YOU AND TERRY......PLANNING PARTY'S AND RUNNING AROUND......THIS IS FOR YOU TWO THIS MORNING.....
