We are having a heatwave!

Upon Midsummer’s heady day,
I saw John Barleycorn
Walking proud and tall there
In the sunny, shining morn
His beard was long and golden,
He looked at me and then
He sang, “Blessed Be and Blessed Be
And Blessed Be again!”

  1. We're having a heat wave, too, and it's supposed to last all week. I don't have any air conditioning and the house is like an oven. It was so hot last night that I almost passed out. Fortunately I have a few electric fans.
    Stay cool!
    Looong ago I used to have a crush on Linda Ronstadt.

  2. Hotter than blazes in Ohio. I like Linda Ronstadt a lot....but ,the only "Heat Wave' for me is by the original artist..."Martha and the Vandellas'. A big Motown fan, here! Stay cool under the Strawberry Moon!

    1. Thank you, Paranormal John - I, too, have ALWAYS loved the awesome music of Motown! :-)

  3. Oh I'm so glad to hear you're a Motown fan, too. I grew up on Motown.
    I was fortunate enough to see the fabulous Supremes and Diana Ross solo a number of times. I got to meet Mary Wilson (of The Supremes) on a number of occasions. She was a sweetheart. We would periodically write each other. Sadly, she passed away last year. What a classy, fabulous lady. Also got to be friends with Betty Kelly. She was a Vandella with Martha. We even talked on the phone a few times. A fun lady with lots of great stories. Also saw the Temptations and 4 Tops in concert a number of times. Sorry to bore you. That's what old age will do. LOL!
