Little Willy

I picked up a gem of a CD collection this past weekend for a couple bucks. It's four discs of 70's hits. A lot of them are from artists I'm not really familiar with, but I knew the songs. Now I'm realizing that I have some research to do. There have been a couple songs that I was exstatic to hear.....Like "Chevy Van." That's by an artist named Sammy Johns. He's definitely on the list to check out. There's a few good songs by the Chi-lites, Billy Preston, and The Sweet. Thanks to The Sweet, I have had "Little Willy" stuck in my head for days now. So, I'm hoping that reading this, it will get stuck in one of your heads and get out of mine.........Have fun!!!!!

LITTLE WILLY

North side , east side

Little Willy, Willy wears the crown, he's the king around town

Dancing, glancing

Willy drives them silly with his star shoe shimmy shuffle down

Way past one, and feeling allright

'Cos with little Willy round they can last all night

Hey down, stay down, stay down down

'Cos little Willy, Willy won't go home

But you can't push Willy round Willy won't go,

try tellin' everybody but, oh no

Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Up town, down town

Little Willy, Willy drives them wild with his run-around style

Inside, outside

Willy sends them silly with his star-shine shimmy shuffle smile

Mama done chase Willy down through the hall

But laugh, Willy laugh, he don't care at all

Hey down, stay down, stay down, down

'Cos little Willy, Willy won't go home

But you can't push Willy round Willy won't go,

try tellin' everybody but, oh no

Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't

Willy won't, Willy won't

Little Willy, Willy won't

Willy won't, Willy won't

Little Willy, Willy won't

Willy won't, Willy won't

Little Willy, Willy won't

Willy won't, Willy won't

Little Willy, Willy won't go home

But you can't push Willy round Willy won't go,

try tellin' everybody but, oh no

Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't go home

But you can't push Willy round Willy won't go,

try tellin' everybody but, oh no

Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Let's Go Fly A Kite

I woke up a few days ago with this song in my head about flying a kite. You know, the one from Mary Poppins, "let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height"...blah blah blah?

In fact, I think I had been dreaming about flying a kite. So, I made Ryan take me to buy one.

I hadn't even thought about, let alone actually attempted to fly a kite in literally a couple decades. So, we bought a couple and took them over to the auction house in West Middleton where we would have plenty of room. All I can say is OMG!!!!! I totally forgot how much running is involved in getting a kite off the ground. I thought my heart would explode right there. Unfortunately, it wasn't very windy that day, so it took a lot of effort to get them going. I had a good run of about three minutes. I think that was the longest either one of us kept one going. But, it was a whole lot of fun.

I'm excited for the next nice day we have so I can attempt it again.

It might sound a little silly, but Ryan and I had so much fun that day. It really did remind me of being a kid again.

So, if any of you are ever bored, and looking for some cheap entertainment, Ryan and I are always up for flying a kite, so come on over!!!
