Playlist For Sunday, October 1, 2017: To (Messy) Life!

I'm glad I'm not organized. I'm not one to take my summer clothes out of the closet, pack them tidily away, and supplant them with my pumpkin-spiced plaids, woolly-mammoth sweaters, and argyle knee (there's a loaded word!) socks. Nope, I have every season's items at the ready. 90 degrees, no problem. Negative 2? Three hangers down. Some would call this a jumble; I call it Joie.De.Vivre. (Especially helpful with present weather. I would never close my pool!)

Of course, disorganization doesn't necessarily work all the time. I remember forgetting (remember forgetting?) that I had ordered a CD. Twice. Re-ordered. Twice. See, it actually can cost you money, when you get down to it. Living life like a shuffled deck of cards creates serendipity, fostered by damn stupidity.

And if you think my play lists are grand compilations puzzled together with interior themes and a connectedness born on the wings of profound thought, I think you should just fuggedaboutit. Like me and The Drowsy Chaperone, they're stumbled, bumbled, and fumbled along...hopefully with the serendipity part (not the stupidity) winning the day.

SO...we'll get Drowsy and Lovesick, Zero-ed out and Foster-ed in. A tribute to Syd Chaplin (like Frank Sinatra, Jr., right? Son of a... ), some Good News, some Yankees from Connecticut, and Harry in his PJs. Just push the Frappe button, and out pours 2 On The Aisle.
