This week’s show ——-

I mentioned the experience with the hedgehog

Did you know, KT Tunstall’s song was played during the opening credits of the film The Devil Wears Prada?

I was checking out Glo Macari’s website www.glomacari.comย and discovered Then Came Bob. I’d love a copy to play on the show ๐Ÿ™‚

I was wondering what had happened to Clodagh Rogers, do you remember her? She sang the UK’s entry in the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest

I said I’d share the lyrics from Same Old Lang Syne – by Dan Fogelberg.

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn’t recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totalled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn’t find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car
We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how
She said she’d married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn’t like to lie
I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn’t sure if I saw doubt or gratitude
She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly but the traveling was hell
We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how
We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence, another ‘auld lang syne’
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out and I watched her drive away
Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned in to rain…

I’ve been a bit remiss on updating the website lately with all that’s been going on – I will try harder ๐Ÿ™‚
