We were on the way home from eating and we were listening to the USB connection on my one year-old Nissan. The recording we were listening to was by Anne Murray, one of my moderate favorites artists. I mentioned to my wife that I have misplaced our copy of one of our favorite recordings of hers, Snowbird.

That did it. She didn’t remember it. I tried without success to describe it. So, determined as I was, the first thing I did when we got home was to look up the recording on the Net. In minutes, we were listening to it. I’m glad as I have not heard it for a while.

Then I mentioned that that I really liked yellow bird by Lawrence Welk, which she did not remember. Before I was done listening to various recordings of Yellow Bird, all awesome, 20 to 25 minutes passed. Perhaps the best or nearly best was by The Brothers Four. While listening to that, I noted they had a copy of The Green Leaves of Summer. (Theme from the Alamo, 1960)

I must admit, they did do a good recording of it, no surprise to me. They are good singers and they know how to sing. That might sound redundant, but there are people that can sing good but they don’t know how. The reason I know is have heard some of them.

At any rate, it reminded me that I have a copy of the original somewhere. Guess I’ll have to search for it. It is worth the effort. Well, I do know where my original record is.

At any rate, before the chain of recordings was over, I played 3 more versions of it, one which was accompanied by the scenes of the movie. That one brought tears to my eyes. After that, I figured it was time for me to quit. Before I ever look up another song on the net, will make dead sure I have time to listen to 50 songs, at least.
