I'd Really Love to See You Tonight (1976)
Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.
1) This song is about a guy who, out of the blue, phones an ex. Have you ever spontaneously phoned or emailed a former lover? Has an ex ever reached out to you?
No, and no!
2) He suggests walking through the park, taking a drive along the beach, or watching TV. Do any of those suggestions appeal to you right now?
I have a huge wanderlust thing going on.. I really wanted to get way the end of this week, but after days of searching online I couldn't find a single vacancy. Everyone wants to get out it seeks ..... Beach would be nice, but I want to see the beautiful mountains!
3) "England Dan" got his nickname because he was a passionate Beatles fan and would affect a British accent when he talked about his favorite group. Are you good at imitating accents?
I read English romances, and I can do it great silently but it doesn't come out the same!!! I can almost get the Scottish brogue, but what do you know?? After doing my Ancestry.com, I'm mostly Scotch!
4) Dan met John Colley when they were high school classmates in Dallas. When they were still kids, they agreed that "John Ford Coley" would be a better stage name. Think back to your high school days. Which of your friends daydreamed along with you?
Belinda was my closest and dearest friend in High School! We finally reconnected about two years ago.
5) After the duo disbanded, "England Dan" went to Nashville, billed himself by his real name -- Dan Seals -- and recorded country music. Who is your favorite country performer?
Not into country, but he is almost I suppose, a bit country rock,, both of these!.. I love
Stephen Stills..
Bout as much country as I can stand!!! hahahah
Close runner up. Dan Fogelberg! Oh I loved him!
6) Today John Ford Coley lives in TN. He performs occasionally and raises horses. Have you ever been to TN?
Tennessee is a little bit of heaven!.. Beautiful state!
7) In 1975, when this song was popular, Foster Grant Sunglasses had a suggested retail price of $5/pair. Do you buy sunglasses more for fashion or utility?
I must wear them.... well, I think everyone should wear them the sun is a powerful thing in this world today!!
$31.O0
8) The most popular movie of 1975 was Jaws. Have you seen it? I've watched it several times but I always close my eyes when, well, you know! I used to have a thing for Richard Dreyfus.It started way back!
9) Random question: Excluding anyone related to you by blood or marriage, what man are you closest to?
I suppose it might be one of best friend's husband.. simply because we love to pick on each other.. He's about 6 years older than me, like an older brother...
such great friends!!

I don't think we're going to have too much color this year because of the drought. I may be wrong, but we have not had lovely falls for several years. Not like we used to, anyway.
ReplyDeleteBe thankful you didn’t hear anyone knocking on you door tonight. hubs and I were invited to Springwood Baptist for a fundraiser bbq dinner. So nice and delish! Then we followed hub’s cousin who lives out rt 640 then twisting around on several dirt/ gravel roads to the very end of the line. We visited til around 9 pm then started out to come home. I tell you there were times we were thought we would not find our way home in the dark. No landmarks just very narrow gravel roads ..forever!, Obviously, we found our way home, but I would have been adverse to knocking on a few doors if we were still circling around out there.
DeleteI'm so glad you and Belinda have reconnected.
ReplyDeleteOh, me, too. We always have a blast when we meet up for lunch!
DeleteNow that you mention it, I never thought of England Dan and John Ford Coley as country music. I was definitely NOT into country when I was in jr. high. My friends and I all listened to them and I always thought they were soft rock/easy listening.
ReplyDeleteI love how cozy, warm, and inviting your home looks all decorated for fall!
Thank you for your kind words. I do enjoy decorating seasonally.
ReplyDeleteI too have the heart of a wanderlust. But alas age and lack of funds prevent my doing so. Love your header photos of your home. So pretty, warm and cozy. Have a blessed Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to the mountains too! I hope you get to go soon. Loved your answers! Have a nice day!
