~Favorite Walking Song~

Marc Cohn - Walking In Memphis
> Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then i'm walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Boy you got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Nat King Cole -Walkin' My Baby Back Home >

Gee it's great after being out late,
Walking my baby back home.
Arm and arm over meadow and farm,

Walking my baby back home.

We go along harmonizing a song,
Or I'm reciting a poem.
Owls go by and they give me the eye,
Walking my baby back home.

We stop for a while, she gives me a smile,
And snuggles her head on my chest.
We started to pet, and that's when I get

Her talcum all over my vest.

After I kind of straighten my tie,
She has to borrow my comb.
One kiss then I continue again,
Walking my baby back home.

she's afraid of the dark
So I had to park outside of her door till its light
she's says if I try to kiss her shell cry

Ill dry her tears all through the night

Hand in Hand to a barbeque stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Its and then its a pleasure again
Walking my baby, Talking my baby
Loving my baby, I don't mean maybe
Walking my baby back home

Walk Like An Egyptian - Bangles

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance, dont you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)

They're falling down like a domino.

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got their money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette.

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say:
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian.

The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
They drop your drink, then they bring you more.

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian.

All the kids in the market place say:
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian.

Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm, then you pull it back
Life is hard, you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac.

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs, cruise down the block.

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian.

All the cops in the donut shop say:
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian.

Yep...sounds a little too close for comfort. I had to go up the hill this AM and it was raining so hard the windshield wipers couldn’t keep up. SCARY to be sure.

I went to college with the legendary Jay Meyers, who is now officially a Philadelphia Broadcasting Pioneer. Jay knew everybody, even in college, and his radio career is one of the great monuments in the industry.

At one point, he was the Natinal Program Director of Clear Channel, which meant that -- technically -- he was Rush Limbaugh's boss. Of course, Jay was nowhere near the conference room when Rush's syndicator sat down to negotiate nine figure contracts with Clear Channel's upper management.

Jay was in Seattle for the National Association of Broadcasters convention, and we went out for lunch. We reminisced about the days when Joey Reynolds was working in Philadelphia, and Jay simply picked up his cell phone, called Joey and put me on the line to him. I was certainly impressed.

Jay is a consultant working out of Boca Raton these days and is doing well. He is probably still in touch with the original members of the Four Seasons.
