Saturday 9: Love Is All Around (1970)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it HERE.
1) The lyrics tell us the singer is on his way to catch a train and he really wants to be on time. When is the last time you were late for something? I'm never late for anything I'm usually early. I hate making others wait.
2) He sings he's on his way to meet a woman known for her macaroons. What's your favorite cookie? Lemon Iced or Anise Biscotti.
3) His girlfriend's face is so pretty she lights up the city night. How many lights are in the room you're in? How many are switched on? 3 lights in my main room and usually only one is on.
4) This is the rare top 40 tune that prominently features a banjo. Sam has always been crazy about the sound of a banjo. What sound makes you smile? (It doesn't have to be a musical instrument. Think bacon sizzling, church bells, etc.) The sound of a far away train whistle.
5) 47 years after their record was a hit, The Stampeders still tour every summer, playing festivals across the US and their native Canada. Do you enjoy live music under the stars? Or would you prefer to be seated in a theater? When I was younger it was both. Now I enjoy concerts on my TV.
6) In 1971, when this song was popular on the radio, detective shows were popular on TV. Mannix, Ironside and Cannon were all in the Top 20. Who is your favorite TV detective? Anyone that knows me can answer this one. It's Hercule Poirot.
7) Also in 1971, the Post Office Department was disbanded as a Cabinet department and became The United States Postal Service. When did you last go to the post office? Were you mailing something? Buying stamps? Picking up a package? Renewing your passport? It's been so long that I don't remember.
8) Race car legend Jeff Gordon was born in 1971. Do you watch NASCAR? No, I'm a baseball fan. Basically the only sport I watch now and only the NY Yankees.
9) Random question -- Do you have a vaccination scar? If so, where is it? ~ On my upper left arm.

ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading this and your answers! Have a great day, Toni.
ReplyDelete#4 sounds like the beginning of a song.
ReplyDeleteI don't care for anise, but I am impressed that you make homemade biscotti! I've never tried making it.
ReplyDeleteHi Toni! I am never late either. I also enjoy a train whistle. I just love trains. I am a baseball fan too. We tried Nascar, but it just doesn't do it for me.
ReplyDeleteJosh's CT scan was fast yesterday...an over $2000 test done in 5 minutes....we only had to pay $75 after insurance. Thank God for that. I talked a little to him yesterday...he says he thinks his medicine is working...music to my ears! He said his nightmares have stopped. I didn't know he was having nightmares. Anyway, he seems to be doing better, he even wanted to go shopping a little yesterday.
Have a super weekend. I loved your answers!

Oh, I forgot how much I like lemon cookies! They are my favorite Girl Scout cookies!
ReplyDeleteI've never had a lemon iced biscotti, but I have a feeling I would like it. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteA train whistle is a great sound.
