I know, usually Music Monday is on Monday not Friday; however, in 2016, the first June 20th on the blog after Mom died on July Fourth 2015, it was Music Monday and this was the post.
My Mom looking like Jackie Kennedy BEFORE Jackie Kennedy was first lady!
I had to update the original post a little to fix a broken video.
Thanks for tuning in.
LOW POWER MODE: I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal. Thanks for reading.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #349 - Musical Monday for 1606.20
Hi Mom,
I was going to lead with this picture of Alejandra Deheza School of Seven Bells (below).
But I need to feature more pictures of you, Mom. I may have shared the above photo before. I have quite lost track.
Here we are for Musical Monday, which is being posted ON MONDAY, which means I am caught up, which is a miracle, despite the number of whichs in this sentence.
SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS is the best band that I was sure my wife would adore as much as I do, and she doesn't. I have accused her of not liking music I recommend simply because I recommend it. She thinks this is stupid and untrue, but I wonder if it is indeed very true and something about which she is in denial.
Alejandra Deheza (below) is the only member left of the band. Her twin sister, Claudia, left the band in 2010. Alejandra carried on with Benjamin Curtis, but he was diagnosed with T-cell lynphoblestic lymphoma early in 2013 and died later that year. Alejandra Deheza released the band's last album, simply entitled SVIIB, earlier this year (2016); its music features Curtis as it was completed before his death.
Below I have links to a playlist of the entire album of SVIIB and one of the videos, again one I think my wife would ADORE, "On My Heart"; it captures the spirit of New Wave and gives it new life.
There's also the last song Curtis recorded, a cover of Joey Ramone's "I Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up)."
DAUGHTER is another band on which I am trying to woo Liesel. Below I have Daughter's performance at the 2016 BBC Music Festival. Last year, while driving around Scotland, Liesel and I listened to much of the 2015 BBC Music Festival on the radio.
There's other goodies here, too. A NEW song by Peter Gabriel, "I'm Amazing," just released a few days ago. There's "I Woke Up In Love This Morning" by the Partridge Family because my wife ensured that I had a great Father's Day yesterday. There's "Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash, one of Liesel's favorites from the 1980s, and a reminder that I need to harden my heart as I enter the one year anniversary of your last days, Mom. Lastly, there's a great song by BANKS, an American singer song writer. Very cool stuff.
This is a whole playlist for the week, Mom.
To my other readers, enjoy.

NOTE on time: When I post late, I had been posting at 7:10 a.m. because Google is on Pacific Time, and so this is really 10:10 EDT. However, it still shows up on the blog in Pacific time. So, I am going to start posting at 10:10 a.m. Pacific time, intending this to be 10:10 Eastern time. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. But I am not going back and changing all the 7:10 a.m. times. But I will run this note for a while. Mom, you know that I am posting at 10:10 a.m. often because this is the time of your death.

- Days ago: MOM = 3641 days ago & DAD = 295 days ago
- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
