The Magic of Disney Fairy Tales on Ice
A princess who turns into a frog after kissing one, a glass slipper that transforms a cinder girl into a princess and enchanted hair that glows and grows
As I watched Disney on Ice: Dare to Dream, I was reminded of a time when life was filled with pure joy and innocence, when magic and make believe filled fanciful day dreams. And, when I looked over at my daughter to see her face lit up with pleasure as she watched her [current] favorite princess perform; and saw a hint of a smile on my mom’s face that spoke more of nostalgia than doting grandma as she watched the scenes unfold, I truly felt the magic that is Disney….
Dare to Dream opens with a lively skating performance followed by Mickey, Minnie, Daffy and Goofy making an appearance to introduce what the show is about. The beloved characters also make quick appearances in between sets to introduce the upcoming story line and entertain the audience with the funny banter for which they are so well known. Read more…

Farewell Davy….
Davy Jones Dies of a Heart Attack at Age 66
Those were the headlines the world woke up to yesterday. A nostalgic sadness overcame me because Davy was my “crush” back in the days of the Monkees show. I remember looking forward to each rerun, watching the shows multiple times and never getting tired of seeing Davy, Mickey, Peter and Mike being goofy and making great music.
Until now, I didn’t realize that the guys didn’t start out as a band, but that they were actors who were casted in a show looking for “4 insane boys.” I think whoever casted Davy Jones, Mickey Dolenz, Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith did a pretty good job considering that the show became a hit sensation and the Monkees evolved into an internationally popular band entertaining millions with iconic songs such as “Day Dream Believer” and “I’m a Believer.”
I would love to see the show come back in tribute to the boys….Farewell Davy…
