    I know I am boring all of you with these but I'm having so much fun keeping up on these and finding the videos--you all will just have to deal with it!

    Yesterday I told you there was another Rolling Stone birthday today...

    Charlie Watts turns 68 today.

    Out of curiousity---California Dreamin', when they get to this part...

    Stopped into a church
    I passed along the way
    Well, I got down on my knees
    Got down on my knees

    how many of you sing the next verse as "and I began to pray"? It's actually "and I pretend to pray". I just found that out in the last year and was very surprised. I really thought it was began not pretend.

    Just a little trivia.

    Good Catch Willie! Like you, I've always sang that using "began to pray".

    Very significant song for me. Back in 1966 or 67 I had volunteered for the Army and had failed the physical and had nothing planned for that possibility! I mean NO ONE failed the Army Physical unless they had a missing limb or something!

    Anyway, I had taken a job in a furniture factory building cabinets for Television Sets (Curtis Mathis!) It was noisy in there with all the saws and planers. I was sick of Arkansas and things were happening in California. I'd sing that Mama's and Papas song all night long dreaming about getting a motorcycle and making the ride to the West Coast! I should have been thinking about the saws I was operating because about the time I got to "got down on my knees!" I almost chopped two fingers off on a radial arm saw!

    Fingers were salvaged with some skin grafts and the Dr. must have done a pretty good job....left hand and I can still sort of play a guitar. Hmmm, never thought about it before, maybe that's why I can't play fast <LOL>

    Never did make it to California but that song remained one of my favorites. And I've always sung it wrong.

    Re California Dreamin' I've always known it's 'and I pretend/pretended to pray'. (It should really be 'pretended' as its past tense.
