Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 1: First heard that song in the mid-late Sixties on the old WFMT "Midnight Special" program. Walker had some other popular songs around that time, but I don't remember them now. RIP.

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 4: Which reminds me of a remark on SNL when it was funny. When the UN passed the "Zionism is racism" statement, SNL said "Sammy Davis Jr said 'What a breakthrough! At last, I can hate myself!'"

I contacted---well, tried to contact---WFMT a while back to find out if they were by any chance selling CDs of their 60s-era "Midnight Special" shows. They were marvelous. The combination of "folk music, farce, showtunes, satire, and sort of odds and ends" ranged from classic folk music to Nichols & May to then-current Broadway shows like "Cabaret," "Fiddler on the Roof," "Wait a Minim," and earlier shows like "She Loves Me" (the musical version of "Shop Around the Corner"), "Candide," "Guys and Dolls," and Peter Cook/Dudley Moore routines. It was an education. Sadly, all I was able to connect with was a hostile telephone receptionist who was...unhelpful.

Reply to buzzsawmonkey in 8: I probably did link to that song before. There are some lyrics that are amazing. Even the Christian reference - "Our Lord's cross may redeem us, but our own just wastes our time" I think we have people here who have met people the song is about. Now, those who recognize their problems the way the songwriter did, well, that is rare. Most just are stuck with the hard love.

A good day. Worked a short shift. Went to the range and expended a couple hundred rounds. Came home and made a good dinner for the wife. Later while she and friends (and family) watched movies went to a buddies place and drank and talked glory days (if you could call them that). Definitely a good day.
