Lou Rawls

His distinctive voice lives on in so many of my LSS moments.  That stands for Last Song Syndrome in which the last song you hear plays on and on in your head.  Songs like I'll See You When I Get There, Lady Love, You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine, and the enchanting Pure Imagination brings back a lot of good memories.  Karaoke moments even (of course, we never came close to replicating his sound, but it was worthwhile to try reaching that bar).  I was listening to my YouTube playlist this morning and found one of his early recordings, that of God Bless the Child by Billie Holiday.  Oh my...love it so much!  It's my LSS for today...

Vincenzo's Plate

 


It's one YouTube food channel that I enjoy watching over and over again.  Vincenzo Prosperi of  Vincenzo's Plate makes several oh-so-yummy Italian recipes and gives constructive critique on internet instruction videos made by fellow cooks and even professional chefs.  It seems like during this pandemic, I must have viewed his channel around fifty times already.  He comes from a long family tradition of cooks (he is not a professional chef), and this background probably gives his cooking assessments uncanny pin-point precision. Take a look at his channel and get a light-hearted buzz out of the many ideas and cooking methods he preaches!

DC's Legends of Tomorrow

DC's Legends of Tomorrow is the TV Show I turn to when I am in the mood for a light and breezy time.  The series started off with a heavy "save the world" premise against a major DC villain (Vandal Savage), but the later seasons have a carefree blend of aliens, magic, time travel and sci-fi elements.  To some, it may seem like a hodge-podge mess, but I think it's fun and easy to follow.  I read that Season 7 is coming up this month; can't wait to check it out.
