Saturday's tune

[Bushkill]

This song is at the end of the B-side of a treasured piece of vinyl I own.

When my oldest was just a baby, Caroline and I both worked and the pickup and dropoff schedule at the daycare center was just surreal at times. I had pickup duty as well as dinner starting duty. But about every day, I would simply put a record on the turntable, let it play and flip it over. It kept me and Christina amused to a degree as we sang along while I tried to throw dinner together before Caroline got home.

As the days went on I got a bit lazy about changing the tune selection, so this LP eventually became a "soundtrack" of sorts. I'd gotten the routine down really good so that I had dinner going by the end of side one. That gave me time to dance across the living room floor with Christina while side 2 played. Note: I've never been one to cut the rug, by a mile. But this is the last song on the B-side and it never failed me as we danced slowly in the living room and I would sing along (nope, no crooner either) with Christina's head resting on my shoulder. I never found a lullaby that worked better.

The music and the dancing with Christina story is just lovely. Brought a tear to my eye.

Daddy's little girl just wouldn't fit. We danced to it at my pumpkin's wedding a few years one more time. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.


Jon, CSN is basically the "house band" here.
