Sheesh! My most profuse and humble apologies for contributing nothing here in quite a long time.
As most who know me know that I walk. A lot. Not having a car contributes to this immensely. While I walk, my brain will search my memory for songs and play them for me. I've not been trying to force any from memory. I'm content to just let them play as they come.
This year, I've taken to paying closer attention to the mental soundtrack. I've listed them, for your entertainment. I ascribe no meaning to the selection. They're just songs my brain has stored and play back unbeckoned. In alphabetical order the songs are:
A Passage to Bankok-Rush
Beauty of a Dream-Thomas Dolby
Behind Blue Eyes-The Who
Brooklyn (Owes the Charmer Under Me)-Steely Dan
Do You Close Your Eyes-Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
Everyone's Gone to the Movies-Steely Dan
First Look-Jimmy Buffett
From the Beginning-Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Gone Daddy Gone-Violent Femmes
Grass-XTC
Hip Hug-Her-Booker T & the MGs
Hold Your Head Up-Argent
Jole Blon-Gary "U.S." Bonds
Jump-Aztec Camera
Narrakesh Express-Crosby, Stills & Nash
My Old School-Steely Dan
On Broadway-Eric Carmen
She Caught the Katy-Blues Brothers
Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours-Stevie WOnder
This Time it's for Real-Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes
Tube Snake Boogie-ZZ Top
Walkin' with a Mountain-Mott the Hoople
What is Life-George Harrison
Luckily there are more great songs stored in my memory than lousy ones! If you are unfamiliar with any or all of these songs, GO FIND THEM. Listen and enjoy. If you're lucky to have a memory for music like I do, treat yourself to some long walks and listen to what your brain plays for you. You will probably be surprised.
Enjoy the rest of your summer. Make the most of it. We're only allotted a limited number of them.
