Coffee at Midnight

[Island Drive]

This song reminds me of twenty years of my life, traveling, playing, winning/losing/working/traveling.... making new friends.
Lived in different states for a couple decades, enjoying the differences in culture/thinking's and foods and Quirks I truly enjoyed.
I LOVE THIS SONG BECAUSE IT'S PARALLELS TO WHAT IT TAKES/HAS TAKEN AND WILL TAKE/ YouR person, to be Great. In my world.

I wish more people could (honestly) say that. I know way too many people, including most of my relatives, who have lived in the same town/city/region their entire lives and know nothing about life elsewhere. Few of them know anything about their own country or its culture, except for their own tiny corner of it. No single region of the country is representative of the entire country.

When you said Reno.... and seeing Jay posting and all the pro events I attended there, I Immediately thought of Louie Lemke, and the vegetarian restaurant a short walk away from the event center that he took me too.
I was a midwest borne steak, potato and salad guy.
Louie was MN.
A first.... I enjoyed the slimy, wormy, slippery spicey health foods, went there a few more times.

Oliver Hayes is a generic name used by tons of AI music posters. You may like the tune but it was made by a computer.

Black Velvet is a song that just makes me smile when I am playing pool.
I have flashbacks to thoughts of Elvis and how he helped changed music.

The Ed Sullivan Show was the benchmark for television back in the day.
In the late 50’s, Elvis set the world on fire and was a huge hit on the show.

At Xmas, I still sing along to Blue Christmas and I’m not really an Elvis fan.
There was something undeniably appealing about him & that boy could sing.

And Alana does such a sexy rendition of that song with a sultry voice and it
has a great southern music sound, shooting pool to it becomes almost rhythmic.

For the year or two I lived on pool standard time, my 25 hr internal clock surfaced. Definitely Martian. Anybody else?

… In the late 50’s, Elvis set the world on fire …

I'm not saying The Beatles were better than Elvis, and I'm not saying The Beatles weren't better than Elvis. What I'm saying is that there have been two Popes John Paul, but there's never been a Pope Elvis.
