"At night when you turn off all the lights" reminds me of one of my first blogs posts where I talked about walking in the dark. I still like to walk around the house at night without turning on lights--I think I have pretty good night vision.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-29734746174111137222017-04-07T07:41:30.832-06:002017-04-07T07:41:30.832-06:00Hi Debbie!

Did you know she suffered a severe back injury in 1990 from a bus crash? The story of her recovery was so inspirational!

I recall the popularity of Gloria and her Miami Sound Machine band in the late 80s when their "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" song was hot on the chart and their video was playing on MTV/VH1. The vid was heavily requested by viewers of the MTV format station where I worked at the time. The song lyrics remind us that good music, especially music with a dance beat, is irresistible. It gets under your skin. There's no hiding from it, even if you go to bed and pull the covers over your head. Indeed, I often find it hard to get to sleep at night because favorite songs keep playing in my head.<br /><br />Thank you for shining the spotlight on Gloria Estefan on E Day, dear friend diedre. Have a good one and I'll be back tomorrow!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-3915208010897193182017-04-06T03:56:11.143-06:002017-04-06T03:56:11.143-06:00Hi Diedre - for some reason she sticks in my memor...Hi Diedre - for some reason she sticks in my memory bank as too their music ... and great she's written two picture books - keeps herself busy ... <br /><br />Cheers Hilary <br /><br />http://positiveletters.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/e-is-for-extinct-animals-and-endangered.html<br />Hilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
