What are you listening to right now?

Kathy is quite computer-averse. After years of moaning and complaining, I found a tablet she loves (nope, not Apple.) After some doodling, she approved. A first! Then, I did some tweaking and linked her to our tunes database (offline on our server.) I told her to swipe to the app. I had set it up to do this tune as a "first try." The sound came through on our home sound system. She liked! "That was the tune on the radio when you took me out and we were stuck in heavy snow. Trucks were off the side of the road. We settled for a truck stop resto. OMG!" Blush.

Here's the YouTube version -

Aw, Voosh, you old softie! Women remember things like that truck stop resto song, and (usually correctly) think that we don't. Good on ya!

 

[Rosemary]

Voosh, that whole story is kind and dear and just lovely. Music and the heart...

 

[amyb]

Cool story,:up:George.

What's going on with Ilo? He kind of slipped off the radar.

I can only guess he is back in South Africa, since there have not been any sightings for at least two years....

Who remembers this one?

I love this song (with the intro song, especially). I'm kind of surprised we didn't name one of our daughters "Amie".

Time for Pure Prairie League trivia?

 

[amyb]

Yes, I listened. To the whole thing.

Charlie knows this as 'Grandma's Song.'

 

[MIke R]

Saw them at a show in the Agora Ballroom in Houston

[amyb]

Miss them along with CCR--oldies but goodies

Okay, now for the Pure Prairie League trivia- what famous country singer used to sing with PPL?

 

[MIke R]

Wasn't it Vince Gill?

 

[Rosemary]

It was Vince Gill, I think. He married Amy Grant.

 

[Rosemary]

Yes, I listened. To the whole thing.

Charlie knows this as 'Grandma's Song.'

That's adorable.

Wasn't it Vince Gill?

Mike's a winner on this one!

We were playing golf in Nashville one time with some old neighbors, and the other wife recognized Vince Gill in the clubhouse, and didn't know whether to approach him. She eventually went up to him, and he was exceedingly gracious.

 

[MIke R]

Rosemary got it too

 

[jayhawkgirl]

Rosemary got it too

True, but you posted first, which is why I acknowledged you.

Congrats to Rosemary as well!

 

[Rosemary]

Thank you, both!
