Happy Sunday, friends. There are lots of songs about Sunday, but my favorite for today is called Sunday Morning by the Velvet Underground. The Velvet Underground were at their best when they created a chaos of noises that jarred the senses that create uneasy feelings from the listener. Once, I drove home from Kalamazoo in a snow storm with VU playing on the stereo, & the fear of slipping off the street was met perfectly with the sounds coming from White Light/White Heat. It is truly art in song like no other band could create. They could also create beautiful melodies free from all that chaos, & Lou Reed could be quite an expressive singer when he wanted to be.
watch out! the world's behind you,
there's always someone around you who will call
it's nothing at all
Sunday is a perfect day for imagining all the places you can go & all the things you can do but realizing that the best place is where you are doing nothing at all.
What am I doing today, you ask? Well, after church, friends are coming over for, are you ready for this? The game of world domination, Risk. Junior showed me how to play this game a couple of weeks ago & I was instantly hooked. So, this afternoon, 1079 Moreland is geek central.
Five Favorite Songs of the Day (or at least five that I've listened to so far)
Little Green-Joni Mitchell, Blue
If I had to come up with ten of my favorite albums of all time, Blue would undoubtedly be on it, a perfect little masterpiece. It's been a long time since I've listened to it, I think I'll remedy that today.
Take the A Train-Duke Ellington
When the Deal Goes Down-Bob Dylan, Modern Times
Sunday Morning-the Velvet Underground
Across 110th Street-Bobby Womack
Happy Sunday, friends...

Great song!
It is a great song! The video reminds me of your old neighborhood! Have a great week! Don't take too many "risks"!
That is my favorite sweatshirt and I just realized I haven't seen it lately! Or the hat for that matter!
