W.O.L.D. (1973)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song tells the story of a man who has made a career in radio. How many professions have you worked in?I have worked in retail as a teen and very young adult on school vacations and education as I taught 3rd and 4th grade for 30 years.
2) He describes himself as "45 going on 15." This morning, do you feel older or younger than your years?At my age I generally feel younger than 72. I refuse to ever feel the age I am except I cannot refute the aches and pains. But my mind is really what determines my age and I always feel much younger!
3) He estimates that he's traveled thousands of miles, from town to city, as disc jockey at various stations. Have you ever relocated for a job? No.
4) This song is written as though he's reached out to an ex. Is there someone from your past who is on your mind this morning?My dear hubs qualifies for someone from my past as we have been together for 55 years.
5) Tell us about a radio personality you grew up listening to. I always loved listening to Wolfman Jack.. Hubs and I while we dated listening to his show as he counted down the top tunes.
6) This week's featured artist, Harry Chapin, was an Oscar nominee. Before he became a musician, he wrote and directed a documentary about boxing called Legendary Champions. When you sit down to watch a movie, would you prefer action, comedy, drama, fantasy, horror, mystery, romance, thriller or documentary?This all depends on my mood.. Let's say I detest horror, and thriller is a bit much for me. I would enjoy any of the others!
7) Today Harry Chapin is fondly remembered for his philanthropy. He filled his calendar with benefit concerts that supported local food banks all around the country. How would you like to be remembered? I would love to be remembered as a beloved mother to our daughter, and a sweet Gaga to my wonderful grands, as a good friend to many, a deep Christian and prayer warrior, and teacher who loved her craft and especially loved sharing good writing skills with her students.
8) In 1973, when this song was popular, one of the top-selling toys was a Curious George book packaged with a plush Curious George. Can you recall a favorite book from your childhood?I loved a book hosting the collection of Hans Christian Andersen's stories, my aunt ave me as a young teen. I kept that book all through my teaching career and loved reading the stories to my class, because so many of the stories they had never heard!
9) Random question: Here's $100. What will you spend it on?I suppose I would use it on the items in my Amazon wish list...
Vintage Victorian Round Tea Caddy Kaariok Boho Mandala Teal Flower Round Placemats Set of 6, Washable Heat Resistant Place Mats for Dining Kitchen Table
Life in a French Country House: Entertaining for All Seasons A beautiful book
a set of 12 natural Pheasant feathers
...this add up pretty closely to $100.00
PS I had a question about pheasant feathers.. Many British Country style blogs use nifty contains to display these feathers.. Apparently it is a British thing to do! So Of Course, I do not want to be left out the pheasant feather phase! They are beautiful! See if you can find some above!
#7 is a great answer! I am certain you will be remembered that way.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty tea caddy! Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.
