A song that popped in my head last night while trying to fall asleep, "Little Bit O' Soul" by The Little Darlings in 1965.  I was in elementary school when it came out and it was very popular.  Simple chords, simple lyrics.

 

"Now when you're feelin' low and the fish won't bite 
You need a little bit o' soul to put you right "

My wife and I attended the performance of ‘the Jersey boys’ on Friday, she had purchased the tickets long ago for Father’s Day, and wasn’t sure if we were going to go together or not since we’re getting a divorce. But I told her it was a great idea and that why would we not go since we still love each other? Wouldn’t we still go as friends? She thought about it and said yeah, I guess we would. So we went. The whole Frankie Valli story is absolutely amazing, and the music of the production was Beyond reproach, I cannot imagine the music and the voices sounding any more perfect than they did. It was really strange that the progression of songs was almost speaking to me personally, my wife picked up on this and poked fun at me and I thought it was a great time. As the music progressed through the years the song ‘big girls don’t cry’ and ‘walk like a man’ played in succession and it was just too funny, my wife and I laughed about that.  It seems that big girls don’t cry has gotten stuck in my head today, not bad at all, I don’t really mind, it’s a really good song. 

During the intermission my soon to be divorced wife and I went outside into the cool night air surrounded by the skyscrapers and the open purple/pink sky, we went to the snack area and got a couple of cheese plates, neither of us had wine, and we found a small table to stand at and marvel at the cool evening evening sky. Some private jet planes flew overhead so close I thought they were going to scrape the top of the buildings, and we both marveled at this little space we had found that seemed peaceful yet busy, and we both enjoyed just being there in that moment. I knew it was romantic, and I took advantage of it, she let me kiss her not once but twice, and she’ll probably regret it later, but at the moment it was just fine. She told others that I stole kisses, and I fully admit those kisses were stolen, but only the right space and time allowed it. I wonder how many kisses I will get to steal from her when I’m a woman.

’Big Girls Don’t Cry’ might need to be playing.

Hugs,

Jae

I'm happy that you had a good time and hope that you have many more opportunities for evenings like it.

Jae that sounds like a beautiful night to remember.  This Jersey girl, despite being bigger than most, can certainly cry.

I was listening to The Traveling Wilbury's Vol. 3 in my car today.  Only two of them are still with us; Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan.  May their souls be at rest wherever they are; Roy Orbison, George Harrison, and Tom Petty.  Great voices all.

For me it's Nora Jones album Come Away With Me.

 I know this is a really old post, but I danced at my wedding with my wife to this wonderful song, we practiced ballroom dancing in the middle of an empty rug cleaning warehouse in Mountain View twice a week, at first we were just nervous and trying to figure out the steps but as time went by we enjoyed dancing with each other in this warehouse...  I remember the rugs hanging from all sides, and a makeshift dance floor in the middle of it all, like a huge maple cutting board, just for us to dance on... After the first few lessons the instructor didn’t really talk to us, she just play the music and we danced to Nora Jones,  and I remember it to this day, At the wedding I had a little bit to drink but nothing too much, just a glass or two of champagne, and I was feeling great when they announced the dance... The music started and we moved to the dance floor, the crowd disappeared, and we were there again in that warehouse, just us, the rugs and Norah Jones. That was 15 years ago, and thinking about it now makes me cry,  what I wouldn’t give for one more dance...
