A few weeks ago, I was driving somewhere on a Saturday night.  I was flipping through radio stations and halted at 91.5.  (Public radio for readers outside of my fair city.)

&nbsp;

When I fall in love at first listen with a song in the car, I call home and leave it on my voice mail (Yes, I still have a home phone.  Snicker away at me if you must.) so that I can Google the lyrics and uncover the song's identity at another time.

&nbsp;

For those of you who have that dandy iPhone app that names that tune for you, I have a Crackberry.  IN ADDITION!  I suspect that even YOU would not be able to reveal the songs identity.  Here's why:

&nbsp;

It took me a few weeks to check my home voice mail.  I've been kind of busy, if you haven't figured that out through this blog.  :-)  On Day 305, I saw a number on my caller ID that could be an important message, so I checked my home voice messages.  All 15 of them.  On July 3rd, there was a musical message from my cell phone.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: x-large;"><strong>"That's the song that I fell in love with at first listen!!!!"</strong></span>

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I often talk to myself.  Don't be alarmed.

&nbsp;

I immediately and furiously Googled away.

&nbsp;

Artist:  <a href="http://www.sarawatkins.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Sara Watkins.</strong> </a> Song:  Mystifies Me.

&nbsp;

Writer:  Ron Wood.  Whoa.  Who woulda thunk?  It all made sense when I watched the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCzmw9tpDCM" target="_blank"><strong>Ronnie Wood/Rod Stewart video</strong> </a>on YouTube.  My memory was hazy, but I remembered now.

&nbsp;

I searched to purchase the song everywhere.  No luck.

&nbsp;

And then I found it through Public Radio.  One of the many reason why I ♥ Public Radio.

&nbsp;

I would now like to share this experience with you.  Consider my method for optimal listening pleasure:

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Listen to this at night.  In complete darkness.  With high quality speakers.</strong></span>

&nbsp;

When I fall in love at first listen with a song, I listen to it over and over and over while reclining on my fainting couch in the dark with my <strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2010/11/09/day-42-to-rock-my-world-you-need-stamina-baby/" target="_blank">Speakers of Stamina</a></strong>.  I absorb the song into every fiber of my being.  Granted, I am admittedly the most hopeful of romantics, so if my method sounds to woo-woo for you, go ahead and find your own listening comfort zone.

&nbsp;

Use your mouse to forward to 25:15 in.

&nbsp;

Are you in love, too?
