I Would Trade All of My Tomorrows ...

... for just one yesterday. (Merle Haggard)





I'd Trade All My Tomorrows For Just One Yesterday, Merle Haggard

Wow, country music certainly has great lyrics, great hooks, as they say.

And that feels so right, so true tonight, that I would give up all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday.

I would want to pick "that" yesterday.

Remember When, Alan Jackson.

Finding Our Tongues: Mothers, Infants and The Origins of Language, Dean Falk

If we had a free three-day weekend together, and it was typical English weather, we could enjoy Dean Falk's Finding Our Tongues: Mothers, Infants and the Origins of Language.

Besides being just very interesting reading, it would provide a bit of background to the bonding that goes on between mothers and their infants.

I am traveling and I picked up five books to read; one of them was Dean Falk's but in addition four others that I would enjoy sharing with you. So much to talk about.

Something New?

I happened to come across this earlier tonight. Very, very nice.

No New Tunes Tonight

I've lost the energy to even look for a new YouTube video.

Thank goodness for Pandora.com.

I can plug in "For the Good Times" by Ray Price and get a whole "radio station" built on that song.

And bring back some wonderful memories.

I used to bring this site up and down the first three days of each month, but no longer. It's pretty much up all the time.

I guess if I had one song for you tonight, it would be Crystal Gayle's "I'll Get Over You."[Crystal Gayle -- another angel born in 1951. Smile.]

OK, one more: "Near You."

Just Another Rainy Night

It wouldn't matter whether it was a beautiful North Dakota evening or the mildly wet, overcast evening it is.

This is the song/video that haunts me tonight. It is the one most perfect song that ....

YouTube no longer allows embedding, so here it is:

In My Secret Life.

Touch Me

Yesterday while driving through the wonderful, beautiful countryside of North Dakota, listening to old hits on the radio, this song came on:

And memories of Yorkshire flashed in front of me.

Will You Remember Me?

I first heard this song at a high school graduation ceremony the other day. I don't know how I missed it before.

Something tells me it has become a graduation standard.

I will remember you. Will you remember me?

Let's Just Be Glad We Had Some Time To Spend Together

I truly wish YouTube would allow embedding. Open another window, listen and read ...

Lay your head upon my pillow,
Hold your warm and tender body next to mine.

Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times.

I'll get along,
You'll find another.
And I will be here if you find you ever need me.
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There will be time enough for sadness when you leave me.

Let's just be glad we had some time together ...
