Did he really say that?

The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes = GEORGE CARLIN...Stained glass, engraved glass, frosted glass–give me plain glass = JOHN FOWLES...Music is the mathematics of the gods = PYTHAGORAS...Nothing is more fluid than language = R.L.SWIHART

Noble Lyrics, Ray

Ten/Eleven
Calling Heaven

Hello.
May I speak with Linda?
Are you one of us or one of them?
Am I one of what?
You've answered the question,
Please hold the line.
Will do.

Still holding
But I never count sheep
Thank you, Buddy.









Happy #66







Cedarhurst, NY ≈1952





Blogger's Note
Ray Noble was the bandleader but LINDA was actually written by Jack Lawrence. The "Linda" singing with Buddy Clark was Anita Gordon.
According to Wikipedia, Mr. Lawrence wrote the song for the daughter of his lawyer, Max Eastman. She was younger than my sister was in the posted photograph. Linda Eastman grew up to become a photographer and the wife of Paul McCartney.
