So, back when I was a college kid, I
fronted this Rock and Roll band with Fowler and Self and Dvorak and Phil. I didn’t actually front the band, I just say
that now, because it chaps Fowler, Self, Dvorak and Phil so much. I actually introduce them these days as “my
back-up band”, because… well, because I’m the one who thought of it first.
So, back then,
Self and I wrote a few songs. Mostly
they were great tunes, real Lennon and McCartney stuff. But because there was
no World Wide Web in 1972, and no tools for producing your own music on a PC in
your Mom’s basement, those shoulda-been classic songs have been lost down the
long corridor of time. The band grew up, got real jobs, and in 1975 I got a new
partner. Linda’s been my inspiration
for…lemme see, well, for everything since 1975.
Still, some of those
unfinished songs still bounce around in my head, looking for a way out. One such hook line was:
”You are my window, where I watch the
world”. Just imagine
that with a Barry White melody behind it. Hel-lo, ladies!
Anyway, I liked
the line because of the alliteration (that means all those w’s in a row.) I think it’s the repetitive sound that makes
some lines stay with us for a long time.
Well so, here we are, like 40 years after the birth of the original
line, and I think we can finally use it.
Welcome to our
Blog “Window to our World”. Hope you like it.
Well, crap. People used to think that I was the writer in the family...
