This week's theme is box.
I'm reminded of a ballerina music box that I had when I was little. The song was lovely, but also very melancholy and seemed to invoke sadness. I can't remember the name of the tune it played. "Love Story" or something like that. I don't know what happened to it over the years. It was probably sold in a garage sale, unfortunately. I would have liked to have given it to my daughter.
Here's a video of Frank Mills' "Music Box Dancer" which became an international hit in the late 1970's.

I never had one of those boxes, its sad that you don't have it to pass on now.
ReplyDeleteI think I had the same little music box when I was little. It's where I stashed my allowance when I was saving up for something... until my sister discovered my stash. Then I started stuffing my money into a sock buried in the back of my sock drawer. She never found it there.
ReplyDeleteI love Music Box Dancer. I didn't know it was so new.
Happy HoT!

Love music boxes! I used to play the Music Box Dancer on my mom's piano all the time!

ReplyDeleteIf Ike takes a turn...stay safe! [I remember Rita's evacuation oh so well!!]
reminds me of the one I got for my first communion, mine was white but played the same song. Very good idea for HoT today, mine is up at The Cafe
ReplyDeleteI love that song Music Box Dancer. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever had a jewelry box like that. It sounds pretty. So sad you don't know what happened to it. Have a great Hot.
ReplyDeleteI had a music box like that when I was little, too. The ballerina got broken and she wouldn't dance. She'd just.. tilt. ;)
ReplyDelete"Love Story" .. The thought of that movie could almost make me cry. Man oh man.. what a tearjerker.
Ah, yes. I had one of those. *sigh* Thanks for the memory. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved that song and couldn't wait to learn it on the piano! It brought back memories to hear it. Very cool that you found it on YouTube!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good week. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog!!
I’m still trying to ‘catch-up’ with HoTs after being away from home all day on Tuesday … so I’m glad to see yours here just below your T-13. Nice associations to this week’s prompt. A music box is something I never had ... ever, but maybe I will ... someday ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Hi! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I genuinely enjoy reading your blog posts. Can you recommend any other Beauty Write For Us blogs that go over the same topics? Thanks a ton!
