​You'll Never Be Quite the Same

Name that tune

A pair of mallards has arrived at the pond! Two merganser pairs were there too. I hope we get babies.


            Here’s another game idea: cue up your high school decade’s music on Spotify and play name that tune/artist. Jonathan and I played over dinner last night. First, it was intensely evocative of adolescent emotion; we were both transported into our teen selves. It was also an excellent conversation starter.
 
            After “Let it Be”:
            “McCartney?”
            “Lennon.”
            “Wasn’t that a shock when he was assassinated?”
            “Yeah, then he stalked Jodie Foster.”
            “Wait, he can’t have stalked her afterwards; wasn’t he in jail?”
            “oh yeah…”
            “No, it was Ronald Reagan!”
            “That’s right – he shot Reagan to impress Jodie Foster, after he’d been stalking her.”
 
             After “Morning Has Broken:”
            I guessed Dan Fogelberg; nope, Cat Stevens. When I looked it up, I was surprised to see Eleanor Farjeon’s as the lyricist. Farjeon was a close friend of Rachel Field’s, and wrote one of the beautiful condolence letters that I quote in my book. Weird.
            Where will your game take you?
