A is for Apple
Welcome to the - who woulda thunk it? - TWELFTH round of ABC Wednesday, established by the ADMIRABLE Denise Nesbitt. Each week, there is a designated letter (this week is A, next week is B, etc.)
We have all sorts of rules and guidelines, but let's get to the CORE of the matter: we want to have fun. We like to invite people from all around our world to participate.
So here's the mechanics:
1. You write a blog post. It should include a mention of and link to ABC Wednesday, as well as clear reference how it meets the week's topic (A is for...) Feel free to use the current logo on your blog.
2. You enter the specific link to your blog post in that Linky doodad.
3. At least one person from the ABC Wednesday team, and undoubtedly others, will visit your post and leave a comment.
4. Try and visit at least 5 other participants either before or after your listing and comment on their post; or pick some at random. The more sites you do visit, the more comments you will probably get.
5. We retain the right to delete overly commercial links.
PLEASE don't force us to remove your post; we always feel badly about doing it. But we want to be fair to those who do abide by the rules.
If you have any questions about this, contact me at RogerOGreen (at) Gmail (dot) com.

Now why would I post Mary Hopkin's 1968 single Those Were the Days here?
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...

as Denise has already said, Mary Hopkin's song was on the Apple record label and probably it was the label's first hit record, maybe even their first release.
ReplyDeleteI can't think what zeitgeist I belong to. Love the song -- always have, but sorry, (blush) I have never heard of Mary Hopkins, but she has a wonderful clarity to her voice. Then again I was living in two different countries other than the US in those days. I will Google her. Do I dare mention her teeth? Only perfect mouths make it on videos and DVD's these days. I only noticed it because my dentist wants to give me that perfection for $8,000 !! I guess I won't be singing on any video clips in this lifetime! Thanks for all you do Roger.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Oh my goodness -- she was Welsh!! Yet still, I was, at that time the mother of two children under four, and traveled back and forth from England and Canada twice in '68. What a great voice and great song, anyway.
ReplyDeleteMissed this when i was off to India, but i am back :)
ReplyDeleteRound 12 ? Amazing! Glad to have found this prompt. Thanks for organizing!
ReplyDeleteRound 12! I've been doing this since mid-April, 2009 (whatever round that was). Thanks for keeping this going for all this time!
ReplyDeleteLovely apple with a heart carved out - so apropos, after all it is heart healthy!
ReplyDeleteOh, Mary Hopkin's song, so successful in France also..... Nostalgie quand tu nous tiens....
ReplyDeleteI love Apple!:-)
