re: #123 Barefoot Grin

Random: I was picking up a couple of things at the store and Blood Sweat and Tears’ “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy” came on the Muzak channel. I burst out into muffled song behind my mask. It’s such a dorky song. But at the same moment my brother introduced me to the Beatles and the Stones (I was 4yo), the neighbors’ older brother introduced them to BS&T, and they in turn to me. I loved it. We made a little band, and I played the trash can drum to the album. I think I have that whole album memorized and I haven’t heard it in years and years.

Grocery store Muzak can be very strange. This past Sunday I heard Jethro Tull “Living in the Past” followed by Soft Cell “Tainted Love”. I shrugged my shoulders and thought “Well, Christmas is over”.
