30 Songs in 30 Days, Day 3 - A song that makes you happy


Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight and the Pips

Why does this song make me happy?

Because while Gladys Knight is belting the song out, I am very happily singing along in the background as a PIP. Don't you?!!! Haven't you memorized all the parts to sing along back to Gladys?

If you haven't, you need to. IT'S FUN.

Now I gotta go, BECAUSE I AM AT THE BROWN THEATER IN DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE TO SEE PATTY GRIFFIN IN CONCERT AND THE SHOW STARTS IN TWO MINUTES!!!

  2. I thoroughly envy you! And yes, I was instantly disenchanted with college in the '60s because there was no course of study that conformed with my major desire to become a Pip. Midnight Train To Georgia was one of the greatest recordings in history.

    1. Thank you, I so enjoyed it! It was at a very small theater, and I think Mom and I were the first ones there, and we sat in the balcony, so it didn't bother me at all being around a bunch of people, because I didn't really see them. The only bad part was when we left and walked the wrong way out.
      But yeah, the concert was awesome!

  6. My wife has long harbored fantasies of being a Motown backup singer.

    On a similar but different note, I hear great things about the documentary "20 Feet from Stardom." I've not seen it myself but if you like up backup singers, you might check it out.

    1. I just looked it up and wow, what awesome reviews that movie is getting! Thank you so much for telling me about it. I checked and it's not on Netflix, so I'm going to have to see if it can be rented. :)
