I did not know I needed a new version of Wichita Lineman until I heard Irishman Garron Noone's soaring cover 🤩

Sometimes different singers do a cover version of a song that a different singer made a hit song. My newest discovery of this is #WichitaLineman, originally recorded by Glen Campbell, but I prefer hearing it sung by Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66. That group is famous for the song Mais Que Nada. I also enjoy their cover of the song Norwegian Wood. #music

"And I need you more than want you..."
This is one of those songs that I can't just play once. Not bad for an unfinished song.

Previously I posted here about my soft spot for Glen Campbell’s Wichita Lineman. On further reflection it occurred to me that one of the reasons it resonates so strongly with me as an adult (having first fallen for it as a young child) is it embodies a romance of the (American) open road.
In my youth I was lucky enough to fulfil my adolescent dream of driving across North America (east to west) and travel back (west to east) via Greyhound.
Looking back on those memories I can barely detect the boundaries delineating the reality of it from the dream of it. Such is the unreliability of the mind when it comes to certainty about anything. Perhaps it is in this liminal zone, prone to suggestion, that our unconscious emerges unbidden presenting us with desires and aversions of which we were previously unaware or had forgotten.
Wasn’t it Jung (of course) who once said:
What you resist persists.

Trying to capture a little of what it felt like to be a small town news editor, back when that was a thing. I hope it still is, somewhere, and that AI doesn't finish it off...

In Defense of the Landline Telephone 📞
"It won't play Candy Crush, but an old-school phone could improve your life in other ways."
Never heard of this Community Telephone company. But $40/month for phone service still seems too expensive even if it is a copper line. VoIP line is still the way to go IMHO.
