    Chorus:
    You just call out my name
    And you know wherever I am
    I'll come running
    To see you again
    Winter, spring, summer or fall
    All you have to do is call
    And I'll be there
    You've got a friend

    Sitting here in self-isolation during the Covid 19 Pandemic, I think about all these talents that I am blessed to just 'click' on. For two days I have drifted through so many incredibly talented songwriters. Most of them seem to have been born around 1950, almost 10 years before me. They were given the magic and inspiration of poetry and music that came directly from their hearts and souls. A very special breed. So, when I came of radio age, there they were, as young adults making this music during a time in radio where all music came together on one or two AM stations. (1050 CHUM...TORONTO). Me, walking to school in September with the 3" by 3" transistor radio, not knowing that 50 years later I would be hanging onto their every word, every note. I wonder if one or more of you that is sitting in self-enforced isolation (because we are now the old people that this virus could kill) wishing that we were all in a big room listening and singing along together. I'm going to pretend you are with me tonight, and in the days to come. We are all in a park full of green in June, the sun is shining off the nearby water. "Our" music is playing, and we are singing along because we know every word. Sitting on a blanket, or standing alone, or dancing with a friend. Or maybe just holding your hand over your heart because it is almost TOO good. We are ALL so blessed to grow up when we did. See you in the park someday.

      You have brought water to this man's eyes way to early in the morning. it is amazing how music binds us in an almost genetic way, deeper than that - spiritual. I fist heard "You've Got A Friend" sung by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. Whether you find one version preferred above another, Carole King's poetry, along with so many others born in the 50's and early 60's, bind our spiritual cores in a harmony which only music manages to achieve, thanks again.

He rolls over and let's me rub his belly, so he must like it even though I'm singing with 2 blown vocal cords, the good one blown putting the breathing tube in to remove a polyp on the other. He's truly the love of my life and doesn't seem to mind. I pray for his furry soul every single day of my life.

      His kidney values look good. He had 2 bouts of pancreatitis, but that tested negative. There's a more accurate test though.
      He looks awful, and it's taking him at least an hour to eat now. I'm not sure what to do and if it's his kidneys, pancreatitis again, or something else. He did have an ultrasound done by his vet. It was normal. They managed to infect one nipple though prepping him for it. And he licks it longer with his rough tongue, so even neosporin stopped working.

    and found they are: the one with the hat is Rudy Guess, her guitarist, musical director and producer. The other artist is Gary Burr, a Nashville-based award-winning songwriter. "Gary is a gifted singer and guitarist who combines the sensibility of the working man with that of a poet," said Carol about him. Regards from León, Gto.. México.

    I'm literally shivering listening to this performance. I love Carole King and her songs. She has given me a reason to live for years. I was so depressed when I was growing up. My parents always worked but we were so poor. We were literally hungry enough to eat grass...my siblings and I were skin and bones. My sister passed out alot. We attended a very large church. The pastor of that church never thought to see why we were so thin....he just kept asking for money to put in the offering plate. My dad put all he had in the plate, usually a dollar. Back then a loaf of bread cost a dime. At Christmas time the church gave the poor in the congregation food. We were given a small box of canned spam, soup, rice, and beans for which we were so grateful. The pastor and his family and the organist drove new cars and lived in a mansion. We really needed help. It was hard. I miss my parents and sister, and two brothers who have passed into eternity. My great aunt sometimes gave me and my brother and sister a dime each. I took that dime to the grocery store and bought a box of jiffy mix of cornbread and baked it for my siblings. That tasted so good.
