Let Me Love You Tonight

Welcome to Saturday: 9.

Saturday 9: Let Me Love You Tonight (1980)


Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
 
1) Pure Prairie League was a country rock band signed by Casablanca Records in 1980. The label, known for disco hits, wanted to expand their client roster in case disco died. (Which it did, and Casablanca ultimately went bankrupt.) Disco can be a polarizing topic among music fans. Do you love it or loathe it?  I loved the beat of disco and enjoyed singing the songs,  but not necessarily dancing it.  When I think disco I think More!More! More!

2) In this song, lead singer Vince Gill encourages his girl to hold him tight. Who did you most recently hug?  Always my sweetheart, Lynn.


3) Vince Gill left The Pure Prairie League in 1982 and went on to be a solo success. Tell us about a job you were glad you left. Well, I taught elementary school for 30 years and when that was up I was  glad to go.  I loved teaching.  I enjoyed the  children so much,  but   already in 2003   things were changing  and not for the better. I was glad to leave!

4) He says his favorite song is the country classic, "He Stopped Loving Her Today." Do you often listen to country?  Not at all.  I  detest it!

5) Vince joined The Eagles on tour after the 2016 death of Glenn Frey, taking over Frey's guitar solos. Do you have a favorite Eagles song?Peaceful, Easy Feeling,  and  Take it Easy.
  
6) Vince met future wife, singer Amy Grant, when she performed on his Christmas TV special. Have you ever had a workplace romance? Not really. I mean when I as  about 20 working at G C Murphy  at the check out,  this business man from the mall   would stop in every day and  buy something at my  checkout. He  was quite  the flirt.   I was friendly to him but he  expected more.  He was balding and bit chubby, but  cute and nice,  but I was already taken!
 
7) In 1980, when this song was popular, The Love Boat was a hit. Have you ever taken a cruise? If yes, where did you go?  NO , we do not cruise.
 
8) 1980 also gave us the Post-It Note. What did you most recently write on a Post-It? I wrote  what  was on the agenda for the week  so I wouldn't miss  something important.

9) Random question: You find yourself one of three strangers trapped in an elevator. Would you rather the other two people be a man and a woman, two men, or two women?a man and a woman.  If someone has to climb out of the elevator, we need a man,  but not two!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
