Do I sense that it is time for another episode of Samuel In Dolgnwot?…..Yep, I do. Well, it looks like a picture of a computer to me….slightly futuristic for 1857, but not to worry.
Clicking on the picture will show a larger version, you can also find it on the photo gallery.
Well, this week it goes to Mary Chapin Carpenter, and whilst it is hard to pick just one song, I have gone with this one.
The Hard Way (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
Show a little inspiration, show a little spark And show that things that drew me to you and stole my heart And tell me something I don’t know instead of everything I do And look at me as if I mean something to you Our hearts are beating while we sleep, but while we’re wide awake You know the world won’t stop, and actions speak louder Listen to your heart, and what your heart might say Everything we got, we got the hard way
Show a little passion, baby, show a little style And show the knack for knowing when and the gift for knowing how And have a little trust in us when fear obscures the path You know we got this far, darling, not by luck, but by never turning back Some will call on destiny, but I just call on faith That the world won’t stop, and actions speak louder Listen to your heart, to what your heart might say Everything we got, we got the hard way
Caught up in our little lives, there’s not a lot left over I see what’s missing in your eyes; you’re searching for that field of clover So show a little inspiration, show a little spark Show the world a little light when you show it your heart We’ve got two lives, one we’re given and the other one we make And the world won’t stop, and actions speak louder Listen to your heart, and your heart might say Everything we got, we got the hard (everything we got, we got the hard way) Everything we got, we got the hard way (Because the world won’t stop) hang on, baby…
Today is Monday the 8th of August, 2005. The day which marks Lawsie’s 70th birthday.
Congratulations Lawsie, I hope you have a fantastic day.
John Williamson dropped into the studio today while Lawsie was on-air to wish him happy birthday and sing for him, it was quite a good moment, and will probably be on Lawsie’s website later today.
I tried to ring his show this morning to wish him a happy birthday, but ringing that show is always difficult as so many people want to talk to him. I ended up leaving a message for him with one of his producers. I also sent him a birthday card.
