A Wee Tear


My dear friend, [Adullamite], has been particularly critical of my [all-time favorite tunes] lately.  He even went so far as to point out that a great many great songs can be found on YouTube.  So, I endeavored to persevere in the pursuit of such, and I have it on good authority that the following songs always bring a wee tear to the eye of the bandi-legged ol’ coot.

Alas, he has often said that I do not know what good music really sounds like, and since I could not stomach listening to The Sex Pistols selection long enough to feel comfortable with including the lyrics to the song, he just might have a point.  On the other hand, maybe not.

By the way, Saturday Night is one of my wife’s all-time favorites, and it does bring a smile to my face whenever I hear it.  What brings an even bigger smile is imagining Adullamite prancing about his apartment in a short kilt while doing a cheer routine to the song.  Yeah, there may very well be something seriously wrong with me.  Sigh.

  2. Just so you know, I enjoy seeing all your favorites, even if it's not my style, although I have an extremely wide range in music, I always have. I first became a Dean Martin fan at age 12, owned 4 albums but never ever shared them with any of my friends. They wouldn't have appreciated one line from Dean, their loss. So yeah, bring on your stuff!

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Karen!!! Arlynda is a much bigger fan of Martin's singing than I am, but we both love his acting, as well as his old TV show.

  3. By the way, not sure if you're a Letterman fan but I couldn't believe our own Minnesota born Dylan and what he sang on Letterman last night. Bravo. Simply bravo.

    1. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Karen!!! Well, you have managed to side with my wife again. For she is a much bigger Letterman fan than I am, and we have been recording his last shows to watch later on. We heard on a news segment somewhere that Leno declined an invitation to appear on his final show, which was to be expected since Leno is really not a very nice guy when he is not being paid to be nice. I stopped being a big fan of late-night talk/variety shows when Carson was put out to pasture before he was ready to go.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! Arlynda told me earlier today that she wore-out two 8-tracks of that album way back when.
