Song of the Day #26: Love Having You Around

Stevie Wonder – Love Having You Around
Here’s where some of the major questions addressed in SOTD #23 got to me. Last Sunday, I put on “Love Having You Around” because I had to do the laundry. I then decided that it was SOTD. Now, looking back at it, I think it might [...]

Song of the Day #25: Oh! You Pretty Things

On Friday morning after Thanksgiving, I woke up early and went downstairs and wrote. What I wrote was no good, but at least I tried and it was early and I thought about trying to wake up early and write every morning. I’m still thinking about that. I just seem to need [...]

Song of the Day #24: Can’t You Hear Me Knocking

SOTD #24 brings us to Thanksgiving. That means I’m only seven days behind. Thanksgiving did not start off promisingly. Chris woke up at around 2 to commence a night of barfing. I woke up almost every time he did. Plus, I hadn’t gone to bed until 1 because I was [...]

Song of the Day #23: My Cherie Amour

Obviously, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to “Song of the Day” and I think I’ve come to a few conclusions that I will share with you now:1. Every day does not necessarily have a Song of the Day.
2. If I’m stressing out possibly missing SOTD because I’m listening to the wrong station or [...]

Song of the Day #22: ?

This is the mystery of Thanksgiving. We were driving to the airport listening to KGSR last Tuesday morning. It was sunny and nice and I was worried that we’d be late (completely neurotic and unfounded–point, Chris).Brian Beck had come on and he was playing good songs over and over. Chris kept saying, [...]

Song of the Day #21: Take a Chance on Me

Do I write about the song or the day? Does explaining how it is possible that ABBA’s “Take a Chance on Me” could every merit SOTD remove its special powers over me forever? Am I free to mess with a universe both so intricate and delicate that not only would “Take a Chance [...]

Song of the Day #20: Love Makes the World Go Round

The Sunday before Thanksgiving was the wedding of my friends Liz and Andrew. They had it out on Bee Caves at a place called the House on the Hill. The super cold wind had come and gone and it actually felt like November.The invitation asked people to bring things to place on the [...]

Song of the Day #19: Lose Control

OK, I am beyond behind. Liz’s wedding, getting ready to go out of town, traveling, Thanksgiving, more traveling, catching up. You all do it. Life gets going and the routine is blown.In my life, usually, this is the time I go and get a new job. Take on another volunteer gig. [...]

Song of the Day #18: And the Cradle Will Rock

When you’re stuck at the three and a half minute light at Bull Creek on the way to picking up your youngest daughter from piano lessons so you can spend an evening going to the bookstore, eating matzoh ball soup, and seeing “Pride and Prejudice,” there’s nothing like a little Van Halen to remind you [...]

Song of the Day #17: The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

There’s a LOT going on with this SOTD–a lot. First of all, I was so happy and excited when driving to Auto Zone yesterday and John A. was going through the birthday list and landed on Gordon Lightfoot. Gordon Lightfoot turned 67 yesterday–happy birthday, Gordon.Why was I so happy? Well, I’m really [...]
