Saturday9: For All We Know

Sorry about this kids.  I'm not paying enough attention to detail.  I thought yesterday was Friday.. And it wasn't.   Sometimes reality just escapes me.  It isn't Age but it is Angst !

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!

For All We Know.....

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song is about newlyweds looking ahead to a happy life together. What are you looking forward to today?  Results of the Election

2) They look forward to getting to know one another better. Tell us about someone who knows you well. Is it the person who has known you the longest?  He's my hubby, and yes, he has known me longer than any other person besides my brother and sister.  

3) The song lyrics are credited to "Robb Wilson" and "Arthur James," but those aren't their real names. Robb Royer and Jimmy Griffin were founding members of the 70s soft-rock group Bread. Are you familiar with that band? If so, do you have a favorite Bread song? (Find their greatest hits here.)

I am familiar with their music and my favorite song is their best hit, 

"It Don't Matter to Me" 
 
4) Richard Carpenter discovered this song on his afternoon off when he and sister Karen were on tour. He took a few hours to unwind at  the movies, heard this song in the film Lovers and Other Strangers, and decided it would make a perfect Carpenters record. How do you like to unwind?  I meditate and listen to the wind, or the recordings of streams in the mountains. 

And HERE was supposed to be a Cat Steven's song, "The Wind".  However, it doesn't come up, even with the little bit of code CountryDew showed me.  So.... just click on the link.. Hope that works for you....

5) Karen Carpenter drank unsweetened iced tea, every day, all year long. Do you prefer your tea hot or cold?  I like iced tea, and also hot tea. No preference.

6) Elvis was a fan of Karen's and, according to the recollection of singer Petula Clark, hit on her when she and Clark visited him backstage in Vegas. Pet recalled Karen was very innocent and said, "I felt responsible for her so I got her out of there." Tell us about a time when you looked out for a friend.
My friends have almost always been older than I, so I really never felt this. 

7) President Richard Nixon was a Carpenters fan, too, and invited the duo to perform at the White House at an official dinner for West German Chancellor Willy Brandt. If you could hear anyone perform live in an intimate setting, like a dinner party, who would you choose?  That would likely be James Taylor. I still hear a lot of his songs in my head.  "Fire and Rain",  for one.

 8) Today Richard collects classic automobiles. He has a 1964 Ford Thunderbird, like the one Beach Boys sang about in the song "Fun, Fun, Fun." Can you think of another song that mentions a car? Yes, "Little Duece Coupe".  Another Beach Boys song.

9) Random question: Do you tend to feel more content at the beginning of the day, or at the end? I'm  beyond ever feeling content again, so this just isn't pertinent to me.  I'm worried.  I've basically been worried for the last four years.  I could hear the freight train coming and couldn't get anyone off the tracks.
