Funny you mention this...being a musician, I key in on the music - particularly the melodic and harmonic sequences. If I could write music fast enough, like taking dictation in short hand, I could write out the song as it goes along. It's cool being able to do that, but can be a curse at times - like when my sight-singing professor during my undergrad days deliberately pitched an exercise for me to sing in class in a key other than it was written! NOT fair - cause I had to mentally transpose as I went. Rest of the class had no clue what was going on. So, I tend to often not even hear words either unless I deliberately focus in on them.

Jim Avery Posted September 13, 2020 #59 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Buffett it is. The song is Pascagoula Run, an early one. Extra credit if you can pronounce Pascagoula correctly. Triple credit if you have been there.......Btw, what's the prize??🍹 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a ship and she sails the seaShe's loaded deep, as deep can beBut not as deep as the love I'm inI know not if I sink or swim I leaned my back against an oakThinking it was a trusty treeBut first it bent and then it brokeJust as my love proved false to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pascagoula is easy when one grows up in a town named Patchogue (next town over was Hauppauge) and currently living in Homosassa surrounded by the Chassahowitzka and Withacoochee Forests.

In the late '70s on a transatlantic on QE2 I met Rod. In the gym on QE2 of all places. He was there with two bodyguards (today they would be called personal assistants). Rod chatted with all us passengers while his bodyguards worked out. Very friendly and approachable unlike current celebs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Avery Posted September 16, 2020 #75 Share Posted September 16, 2020 OTJ, this has been a fun way to hang out on CC and not dwell on the crazy stuff in the world. We can at least listen to our favorite "sea songs". If we were to use song titles to describe the state of cruising I think I would start with: "I can't get no (Satisfaction)". 😱🍸 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
