Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Don’t call me home, little sister / Before the night is done / My love and I are fleeing / Running into the sun. / Turn to fly, go away / Little bird, please don’t stay / Fare thee well. / Take up all your jewels and gold, / Bury them away in the earth. / Let your memory reduce them to dust / But don’t forget the knife that was thrust. / Turn to fly, go away / Little bird, please don’t stay / Fare thee well.
Today is my sister Evan’s birthday. We are two days less than a year apart, and for the last 48 hours I’ve been teasing her. It’s a tradition that has lasted a half century, and who knows beyond.
This week our little “now not so private” brother and sister joke, combined with events in Alabama, has made me feel upbeat this morning. In the light of 2017 I’ll take anything I can get. So happy birthday sis, and thanks for always leading the way, except for B Days that is.
After all the “best of” lists have been counted and proclamations have been made, it’s time for me to go back to the basics of just why I make a radio show—it’s about listening to great music and letting my spirit soar.
After all, any way I cut it, it’s an Idelic Life. For this holiday season, peace, tranquility and love to all,
The Idelic Hit of the Week: Strand of Oaks – Passing Out
The Idelic Hour thanks all who have bothered to click and listen in 2017!
