Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Good morning Cro, have a nice weekend. here is the end of the weekend, beginning of a new week,I liked her in the 60's.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a nice song; no more, no less.
Delete"Thinking about the chump I've been" reminds me of Harvey J and Ollie (grandsons) being asked to suggest names for Boo Boo when he was born. They suggested Chump and Jesus. Great names.
ReplyDeleteYears ago a little neighbor boy named his two miniature turtles Puppy Chow and Burger King!
DeleteI listened again to the words, there is no match between the sadness between the lines and the happy melody.
ReplyDeleteShe's very hard on herself, although she didn't actually write the lyrics.
DeleteAlways a favourite of mine Cro.
ReplyDeleteShe had such an expressive voice.
DeleteI loved Mama Cass, I have been on the lookout for her version of Cherries Jubilee, which I had on a LP and for some reason always liked, no idea why? The record has sadly been lost in the mists of time.
ReplyDeleteLX
I don't know that one. I found it on Spotify, but not by Cass.
DeleteAlas, my hearing loss means I can no longer appreciate all the music I loved in my youth. Mama Cass certainly had a fine voice I remember.
ReplyDeleteI dread losing my hearing. My wife is a little bit deaf and she finds it very frustrating.
DeleteBeautiful voice, such a sad life, may she rest in peace. It was nice to hear that again!
ReplyDeleteI heard just a couple of seconds of it a few days ago, and had to hear more.
DeleteWonderful. What more need I say?
ReplyDeleteShe had such a beautiful rounded voice. Always a pleasure to listen to her.
DeleteWhat a wonderful memory. Thanks Cro.
