June 1971

I'm expecting to be swamped at the office tomorrow, so I'm posting this now before I forget. There was a LOT of vinyl in our house. I have vivid memories of my father spending entire weekends making mix tapes, timing the songs on the record player with the cassette recorder (or even the reel-to-reel!). I remember singing this one in the car and loving it when my father would sing. He doesn't sing very often these days, but he's got a surprisingly pleasant baritone (at least, that's what I think his range is...I have a horrible sense for such things).

I love how Carole is so REAL in this video, with the hair that keeps getting in her way and her unexpected white shoes under the piano.
