Last night I managed to drag my self upstairs and we did Johnny Cash on the karaoke it was grand, and made me happy. this AM I am thinking of what My desert island discs are, what are those things you would want to have if you were stranded on a desert island? (with MaryAnn and Ginger?) and Who's that up there with Bill Stokes? And where the hell is Zappa?

Morricone was so good, not particularly talented but so damn good.

We did a social experiment and played the good the bad and the ugly theme over kent state over loud horns on a sunday morning.

People where walking around for a damn month whistling.. woo whoo whoo

And you definitely aren’t now. Anyway, I think I preferred Mary Ann myself. She was like the girl next door, and in my case I do mean like the girl next door. 8>) Only the girl next door was even more beautiful.

[Robert DeLong]

Yes she does.

"Back to the Island" from the Will O' The Wisp album by Leon Russell released in 1975.

This was my wife of 45 years and my favorite song when we first started dating. We'd lay in the back of my VW camper bus in the New Mexico desert where we were stationed in the Air Force and listen to it over and over. Brings back fond memories. Enjoy.
