Later today Jen and I will be winging our way to Phoenix for a holiday with my bud Jenny. J and J have never met but I just know — sure as The Amazing Bob's apple pie is the best brekkie in the entire universe —they'll be simply wild about each other.I know these sorts of things. Honest and true!
Meantime, here's a little Arizona themed musical interlude.
You're welcome.
Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last.
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass.
The Beatles — Get Back
Well, I'm a standing on a corner
in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me
Eagles — Take it Easy
n early memory
Mission music
Was ringing 'round my nursery door
I said "Take this child, Lord
From Tucson Arizona
Give her the wings to fly through harmony
And she won't bother you no more."
Paul Simon — Under African Skies
By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh, when she reads the part that says I'm leaving
Cause I've left that girl, so many times before
By the Time I Get To Phoenix — Glen Campbell
