[☯Emily]

Right, my husband goes to two each year!

[Laura]

September was when my mom's family had a reunion, and I went.

[Barbara]

Though reunions can be fun, they can go wrong if people argue and call each other names.

[Laura]

Um, speaking of reunions, I really miss my friend who passed away one year ago today and wished I could hang out and reunite with him.

[Barbara]

Very sorry for your loss Laura.

[Barbara]

With a mobile population, it might be difficult for some people to get to reunions.

[☯Emily]

EXtreme encouragement would be needed to get me to go to another reunion.

[Barbara]

Young people might prefer to go to Taylor Swift's concert.

[Grace =^_^=]

Zero is the number of times I've heard a Taylor Swift song from start to finish.

[Laura]

A lot of my Taylor Swift listening comes from the tween in my life.

[Barbara]

Beyonce is a very popular entertainer and her work crosses genres.

[☯Emily]

Country songs was an unexpected direction to go for Beyonce.

[Grace =^_^=]

Dreamgirls was a film Beyonce was in.

[Laura]

Everything Beyonce does is not gold, however, no matter what people try and say.

[Barbara]

Fabulous vintage bands like the Eagles made good music.

[Grace =^_^=]

Great album by a former member of the Eagles is Don Henley's The End of the Innocence.

[☯Emily]

Groupies usually follow famous bands or singers.

[Barbara]

Hearing The Beatles songs brings back memories for many people.

[Grace =^_^=]

I've been more of a fan of The Beach Boys rather than the Beatles.

[Barbara]

Just hearing lively music makes me want to get up and dance.

[Grace =^_^=]

KC and the Sunshine Band have some songs that can get a crowd dancing.

[Laura]

Let me just share that I was in Cancun, Mexico this weekend and went to a great concert of an American Country star!

[Grace =^_^=]

May I ask who this country star was?

[Laura]

Not sure if you know who Dustin Lynch is, but that is who I saw.

[Grace =^_^=]

Oh, no, I haven't heard of Dustin Lynch, but I'm not that in the know with the latest musical artists.

[Barbara]

@Laura - a concert in Cancun sounds like fun Laura 😊


Patsy Cline was a great American country singer.

[Laura]

Quietly whispering that she was probably the best country singer ever.

[Barbara]

Rock musicians like The Rolling Stones have been around for a long time.

[Mansi]

Some band called Coldplay is coming to do concerts in India .

[Barbara]

Taylor Swift concerts are very popular, and the tickets can cost hundreds of dollars or even more.

[Laura]

Unsure if you know who Coldplay is, Mansi.

[☯Emily]

Very sure that I will not see Coldplay in India.

[Laura]

Would if I earned a free air ticket.

[Barbara]

Xavier Moreno is an opera singer but I've never seen him perform.

[Mephisto]

Yes, I love opera singing, but I don’t believe I have ever heard about this Xavier Moreno before and will have to check him out.

[Laura]

Zero idea about Xavier Moreno.

[Grace =^_^=]

ABBA is one of the most successful pop groups of all time.

[Barbara]

"Bang-A-Boomerang" is a song by ABBA, released in both Swedish and English versions.

[Laura]

Chiquitita was also an ABBA song.

[Grace =^_^=]

Dancing Queen is an easily recognizable tune.

[Mansi]

Every person has their own likings ,and so all are fans of different people .

[Grace =^_^=]

For sure.

[Laura]

German Polka Music even has fans.

[Grace =^_^=]

Ha ha, I don't doubt it.

[Isa]

In fact, there is this Ukrainian Polka-Folk-Punk band (Selo i Ludy) that covers popular songs with a playful polka twist.
A really fun one is "It's My Life" (originally by Bon Jovi)

[Barbara]

Just watching the Ukrainian Polka-Folk-Punk band made me smile.

[Mansi]

Knowledge of music is must .

[Grace =^_^=]

Lyrics can be as impactful as a good melody.

[☯Emily]

Melodious tunes can help you remember the words!

[Grace =^_^=]

'Nother way to help you remember things-- like on a test, for example-- is by making up acronyms.
