The Retired Mermaid

Howdy, y'all. It's almost 1:30 PM on Saturday (East Coast), and I am feeling lousy , hence my late start into this week's fun. But I was determined not to miss out. This week, we're talking about this song by Willie Nelson (love him!), from his Rainbow Connection album. Want to make your mark and play this week. Just make sure you link up here ! ♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣•♣ Saturday 9: I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover, 2001 Selected in honor of St. Patrick's Day. Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here . 1) This is one of the songs included in Willie Nelson's Rainbow Connection album. He named it after his daughter Amy's favorite song when she was a little girl. She'd been asking him to record "The Rainbow Connection" for 20 years and finally, in 2001, he came through for her. Think of something you had to wait for. Was it worth the wait? I waited for years and years to graduate high schoo...

  Heyo! How is everyone? I can't believe it's Saturday again already. The week just flew by, especially now that our little baby seedling starts are popping up like mad. Many of them will need to be moved to new pots today, and all of this is first-time stuff for us, so we're pretty excited (and a little worn out) by it all! I hope you're doing well, each of you. Today, we're talking about The Cranberries; I was always a big fan. If you'd like to participate, link up here ! I know everyone would love to have you. Saturday 9: Linger (1993) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here . 1) In this song, Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries sings that her lover has her wrapped around his finger. Do you feel that anyone has you wrapped around their finger? Yes, but I probably shouldn't let them know it so explicitly, so we'll keep that information mum! 2) This was one of the first songs Delores and Noel Hogan wrote together. They performed it often...
