Do I Really Feel the Way I Feel ?
Fri Aug 29 2003

Up last night at 1:30 AM, couldn’t sleep. Got on the internet to check out some sites recommended by Ozone for midi files. I ran across a song I have always loved but never knew who performed it. It’s called “Walking in Memphis” and I found out it’s by Marc Cohn. Although I don’t get too excited about Elvis ( which is the theme of the song) I LOVE the music ! I want to get this CD. I am ready to schlepp over to the bookstore this evening and see if they have it. I would like to play it about 50 times really LOUD okay? I sure hope they have it.

You know, Rabbi Nachman said that music can open the gates of heaven. As far as I know he didn’t mention a specific kind of music. So Walking in Memphis is on the eligibility list. I happen to think it’s different for everyone. All I know is….. He was right !

We need music. It lifts our soul.

In other news. We are headed up to the mountains to see my parents this weekend. Robbie will be happy to pad around in the woods a little. Give him a break from hanging out all the live long day in the garage and back yard alone.
(guilt, guilt, guilt) Though I imagine he will remain rather unaware of the squirrels and deer and foxes and raccoons and other more sinister beasts that roam my parents property. He doesn’t roam far from the back porch these days. The world is just too uncertain when you can’t hear very much.

Later…..

Hey guess what? I called the bookstore and they have the CD…. It is waiting with MY name on it at the checkout counter!

Yipeeeee !

(Rabbi Nachman is smiling down on me tonight !)

    I'd call it professional writing, cool. Hope you enjoy your time away, and Robbie, too, of course. ;-)

    Hey I have that song! I downloaded it from Kazaa (bad bad me). I have always loved it too (even tho I'm not an Elvis fan). I can send it to you if you want, that way you won't have to pay for it!
