Since we’re going to see Elton John in a few weeks, I found an old tape (yeah, an actual tape) and let it pete and repeat a few times. I had so much fun listening to the old tape of EJ that I decided to look through some of the other tapes. I found one I made for the better-half. One side is The Best of Nina Simone (which I remember him asking me to copy from the CD I had) and the other side are love songs. Oh, my sweet lord, are they love songs. I was, apparently, sending a message.
I entitled that side of the tape “Might I but Moor“. Oh, good grief.
As a little background, the better-half and I had our first date the day before Thanksgiving 1992. I made this tape in late April 1993. Here’s what I included…
Lyle Lovett-She Makes Me Feel Good
Eric Clapton-Please Be With Me
Bonnie Raitt-Something To Talk About
INXS-By My Side
Sarah McLachlan-Into The Fire
The Waterboys-Whole Of The Moon
Sinead O’Connor-You Do Something To Me
Bob Marley-Stir It Up
Shawn Colvin-Object of My Affection
Mary-Chapin Carpenter-Right Now
Robbie Robertson-Day Of Reckoning (Burnin’ For You)
Robert Palmer-What A Little Moonlight Can Do
