Maturing Sun


In that unfeasibly warm, sunny weather yesterday, walking through the park with the girls and Mrs H and those lengthening October shadows, this popped suddenly into my mind and I started singing it, I don't know why. It just 'went'. It's a lovely song. One of Dad's.

Nat 'King' Cole (with George Shearing) - 'A Beautiful Friendship' (1962)

    I saw that and was planning to pop in later and comment. Strange. I think for me also partly prompted by reading Darcy's sad news.

    Spookily I have just realised that when NKC recorded this he was the exact same age as I am now.

    Oh how gorgeous is this - close bosomed friend.

    Strangely, this was released as I was born ... on that red-leatherette sofa in a 2 up 2 down with toilet half way up the cobbled street. The midwife had a bubble car.

    I know I've had a sunny afternoon on the cider, but IF I were an exam question setter, I'd lob in ...
    "Is it possible to have a beautiful friendship with an attractive member of the opposite sex without any carnal thought involvement?" Discuss.

    Well you must press on with it Lee - nothing here to scupper it and I love your 'Mum pieces' very much.
