Yorkshire and the Highwayman

I have no idea why this particular song happened to make me think of northern Yorkshire.


The Highwayman, The Highwaymen (Willie, Kristopherson, Waylon [2002], Cash [2003].

I am reminded of the Russian proverb: there is no such thing as happiness, only happy moments.

And some of the happiest moments I had was when I was picked up by a beautiful woman walking towards Summerbridge in Yorkshire. That now seems like an eternity ago. Maybe that's why this song connects: the images flow from the 18th century English highwayman to the 23rd century Milky Way hitchhiker.

And I still look for shooting stars.

Love.
