i've had that song caught in my head all afternoon............

i love workin in a coal mine!

Even my son Colin (23) agrees with you Richard. A huge fan of music and always connected, he is
vociferous on the topic of lyrics. Gets quite worked up about it on a regular basis. Luky for him we exposed him to many different types of music from the get-go. He likes to listen to my old 78's and really has no genre he doesn't get some enjoyment from. Except that for the last several years the words have gone down the flush. The stories of music have disappeared. Like "Workin in the Coal Mine". Not that it compares to "Fools Rush In."

there was a different special thing about life when johnny mercer wrote lyrics. there was utopia not yet found and dreams still precious in lyrics like fools rush in where wise men never go and accentuate the positive, for example. who knows the real story behind jeepers, creepers, where'd you get those peepers- possibly based on frogs or is it a girl whose eyes looked through him. that one is not a fav, in either case and is just proof to me that we all have off days.

losing innocence is okay. it is just nice to see the sweetness of it always.

Karen, I am sure your parents will enjoy your visit! Nice that you can come up before the holidays to see them. Have a safe trip tomorrow for college visits. Remember to bring the sunshine here! Suppose to rain all week...except for Thursday! Pouring now....you can do my decorating too! I'm closer!!! Happy Thoughts............

Karen since you're going to be so close I'd love to have you come by and decorate my house for the holidays. I'll give you carte blanche - the sky's the limit. You'll just love Aroostook county!

Karen, have you read "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"? That's also set in Savannah. I sort of feel like I've been in Savannah after reading that book.
