Welcome back Oma, your line is my favorite line too. Must be that Deb thing again.

Hi brink!

Good to be here...I read the posts a lot, but just never seem to find a topic that I have any business replying to!!! At least with this topic, I could reply because I KNOW my favorite GL line..."Song for a Winter's Night" is my favorite song and it contains my favorite line. I used to listen to that song off of the GG record, on an old "Early American" style console AM/FM stereo-phonograph, with my big cushy headphones (remember those?), in my bentwood rocker, in my first apartment! I listened to that song over and over...lifting the needle up and setting it down ever so carefully, so I wouldn't scratch the record. I spent many happy hours listening to that song...livingroom dark, except for my 2 kerosene lamps on the mantle, rocking on my chair, eyes closed, tethered to the stereo. Sometimes I really wish I could recapture those days!

Of course, that GG album is the famous album that I melted in the trunk of my car a short time later. I am thinking now that I must have melted it when I was 21 instead of 17, as I originally stated, because I didn't get my first apartment until I was 20...almost 21...and I know I had that record then!

It's amazing and scary how fuzzy the memory starts to get in your 40's!
