Obscure Musical lyric for the week of July 28, 2008

Good morning y'all.

had a really busy day yesterday and am quite tired and sore, at the same time we had an awesome visit with some friends from St. Catharines.

At least the title is spelled correctly this week.

So, I got to thinking about what I would choose for a lyric this week. This song, singer and album is a huge favourite of mine and I'll bet of the folks of my vintage will share my feelings. The song is not obscure at all, just an homage to some fine people that rarely get their props. The album was released in 1977. If anyone has a copy on cd, can I borrow it? I'd love to listen and remember.

So let's see who get's this one first, cause I think Scottie G is on holidays.

All responses will be replied to. nudge, nudge, say no more.(not a hint)

And we got time to think of the ones we love
While the miles roll away
But the only time that seems too short
Is the time that we get to play

I need to know the following:

The name of the writer(s).
The name of the song.
The name of the album.
What(who) the song is about.

Have an awesome week enjoy the warm weather, I'm hoping to try and get out of the house for a drive to the office to visit y'all sometime soon, when able.

I miss y'all.

And away we go

Been thinking about doing this for some time. I am in the process of recovering from yet another surgery, this time to rebuild my back. I have experienced numerous setbacks on this journey already and decided that this might be a good way to manage some of my frustrations.

This blog will eventually take the place of my "obscure musical trivia" contest that I have been running for the better part of this year with a group of friends and colleagues, via e-mail. It's not really a contest, but rather a chance to play with music, one of my great loves.

I may also discuss my culinary attempts and successes as well as my spiritual journey.

I am attempting to read through the bible in a year and so far I have been mostly faithful in my attempts to keep up with the reading. The greatest thing that I have learned from my reading is obedience.

Now obedience is not something that is heard of these days unless we are talking about animals. It seems to be much easier for us humans to disobey than it is to obey. The word itself seesm so difficult to say. It's easier to go against the rules than to walk with the rules, I'm not sure what that is all about, but I am sure that I'm trying to obey while still colouring outside the lines at least once in a while.
