Mood: coffeesophical (when you’re just sipping coffee and thinking)
Monday, which is today, Jan. 15, 2024, which is also today, is weather ala carte. Got some fresh sunshine with sides of 38 F, fog, and blue sky. Mixing it up, you know?
I have a John Prine song in the head today, an impromptu addition to my thoughts supplied by The Neurons out of the blue. Well, kind of out of the blue. I was thinking about how easily we become insulated against others’ worries and needs, actually, how we become thoughtless about others’ existence. Things are taken for granted; minor matters gain weight because we have so little bothering us. Out of that came John Prine and a song called, “That’s the Way the World Goes Round” orbiting my morning mental music stream (Trademark done). Originally released in 1978, Prine sang it with Colbert back in 2016, and Cobert broadcast it when he learned that Prine was stricken with COVID-19 and on a ventilator. Well complications from that took Prine in 2020.
Pursue a positive attitude, buck up and be strong, and remain leaning forward with hope for a better existence for people. I’m talkin’ less violence, greed, and hate, you know? Coffee time is fully underway. Here’s the music. Cheers

Hi Michael. Thank you for the music you posted. I do not listen to music anymore, radio annoys me with blather banter and fewer songs. To enjoy music for me the song lyrics have to be easier to understand over the instruments than most modern music allows. I can not hear the words and even if the tune is catchy I can’t understand the song. This song was perfect, funny, and enjoyable. Normally it is Jill who introduces me to new songs I like, now you have. Hugs. Scottie

Thanks, my friend. I’m pleased the song gave you something, but then, that was Prine’s work. He wrote simple songs about love and life, usually with side order of humor. Cheers
