Remind me to stock up on wafers and wine, and I'll set aside the day to watch reruns of Hogan's Heroes and Father Brown's Mysteries. Coincidentally, the inspiration came from a youtube recommendation with someone with 'Red' in their name. Seems to be a conspiracy.<br /><br />~MMQEMary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875539859330322822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-86175616228054395932017-04-23T13:07:38.171-04:002017-04-23T13:07:38.171-04:00MARY!

I'm so far behind that I can actually see my own butt -- and that's NOT a pretty sight!<br /><br />Oh, Glen Campbell -- I like almost EVERYTHING by poor ol' Glen, and I own a 40-track compilation CD of his. Even got to see him perform once in the late '70s at the Riviera in Lost Wages, and got to go backstage to his dressing room and meet him. Nice chap.<br /><br />That was a good close BOTB contest you had. A 3-vote margin of victory is always good stuffs.<br /><br />You said you were doing something a bit out of the ordinary for the May 1st Battle Of The Bands. And it just so happens that May 1st is a significant celebration day for International Communism. So, my guess: You'll be using a song written by John Lenin? <br />[:^)}<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br />Check out my new blog @<br />[Link:) <b><a href="http://stephentmccarthyreviews.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stephen T.

I did love the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". "Raindrops" will always remind me of that scene with the bicycle. The kind of song that makes you smile. ☺ Interesting trivia as always, Mary.

My sister used to play 'Raindrops' on the piano and so that song reminds me of her, 'Rhinestone' reminds me of my tween years. I can't really place a specific event, just that time frame, and 'Reunited' reminds me of an ex-boyfriend that keeps circling around every few years trying to reignite that fire. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!

Not that I ever disliked it, but I didn't fully appreciate "Reunited" until relatively recently (maybe last 15 years which is relatively recently in a way). I don't know why, but the song started playing in my head at some point. Must have been a trigger that set it off, but now I don't recall what that was. That's now probably my favorite of all of these.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-4538075948233288852017-04-21T16:03:57.667-04:002017-04-21T16:03:57.667-04:00Out of all of these "Reunited" has to be...Out of all of these "Reunited" has to be my favorite one!
