It was a good day for lingering over a cup of coffee while considering how I would spend the day. By the time I started moving I realized I was in hour three of the Today Show- meaning if I didn't move off the couch soon I might never do so. I switched off the TV and opted for music instead.
A few months ago I took my turntable out of storage and brought it downstairs. I've been reminiscing with my old LPs ever since. Today I found Tapestry by Carole King. Tapestry was an album I listened to over and over again back in the day. Singing along as I cleaned up the kitchen today I could picture myself at the age 11 or so listening to each and every word as I read the lyrics on the album's cover.
Back then it took me awhile to memorize all the lyrics. Yes, it's been quite a number of years since I was 11, but the words hadn't left me. Carole and I had a solid performance today- it was like neither one of us had aged at all.
I had to read this slice because from it's title I suspected you were referring to Carole King. I'm a big fan of hers because it's what I grew up listening to -- because of the way my parents' love James Taylor. "So Far Away" is one of my favorite songs from that album. It sounds like you had a superb day. :)
