Heads or Tails



Visit the Home of Heads or Tails here.

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.

  2. I 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.

    I love Music Box Dancer. I didn't know it was so new.

    Happy HoT!

  12. I had a music box like that when I was little, too. The ballerina got broken and she wouldn't dance. She'd just.. tilt. ;)

    "Love Story" .. The thought of that movie could almost make me cry. Man oh man.. what a tearjerker.

  15. 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 ;--)
    Hugs and blessings,
