This week’s choice is the infectious hit Have I The Right? by The Honeycombs (1964).
The group’s lead vocalist was Dennis D’Ell. Anne (‘Honey’) Lantree in the girly pink pussy bow blouse 👚 was the drummer. I read that watching Honey Lantree on TV inspired Karen Carpenter to pick up the drums.
It’s been a long time since I posted a #MusicMonday video. Today I present The Rascals at their induction into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. They performed a 9-minute medley of their hits:

I didn’t realize what killer musicians Felix Cavaliere (vocals, organ) and Dino Danelli (drums) were.
The Bee Gees (whom I love, love, love) were also inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Their performance was a disappointment 😞 just snippets of their songs 🎵.
On the Fresh Air radio show, Robert Plant said that The Rascals were very influential to budding musicians in the UK in the 1960s (begin 2:59).
Paraphrase:
The Rascals had a fantastic reputation amongst all musicians and still do. The quality of writing and the performance fantastic vocals and there was a great dynamism in their work. When I first started singing that song, I was 16, and to try and get anywhere near the quality and the style of the rascals in England at that time was virtually impossible. We just didn’t have the Italian stuff in the blood or the street corner stuff that they’d come out of.

I love collecting cute stuff – sticky notes, binder clips, folders, and more – for my home office, and Dollar Tree (or maybe that should be Dollar and a Quarter Tree?) and Five Below help me find the cute stuff for very little cost.
Here’s a roll of cute stuff from Five Below that I created in bublup:
Look what I got in the mail today!
Look what I found among my Facebook memories.
It’s Rouge Bunny Rouge‘s eyeshadow palette in Rare Garden. RBR’s website is temporarily down for purchases, but this eyeshadow palette is not shown on the website.
Is it me or is the selection of Rouge Bunny Rouge makeup smaller than before? Same way with Le Métier de Beauté.
