Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and says: “Today, folks, we have an unusual request, for a song from a group called, uhh, Concrete Blonde (hey, Bob, is that a real group name?). In any case, I’ll try to sing this right with my ukulele here, as we wish the happiest of birthdays to msolursh“:

Outside in the hall there’s a catfight It’s well after midnight I guess I’ll be allright I’m laid out on the floor Drunk and poor How much longer how much more Rock me to sleep Strong & deep. The screaming cats they give me the creep But aside from all that I feel no pain Staring up at the ceiling stains …neon in the window …sirens far away …news on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday

They’re at it again next door This whole floor I swear They’re out to drive me crazy Not right now I’m high as a cloud I’m soft and gray and lazy …neon in the window …sirens far away …news on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday Fly me Out the window. Somewhere far away Singing on the radio

And now a special note from your host: uisna were friends when I was very young. I probably met her when I was 7 or so, and we were close friends until I was 12 or so, when I moved up to the Brentwood area to go to Paul Revere JHS, while she remained at Orville Wright JHS. This year, while working on my dad’s photo albums, I decided to try to search her out, and I was lucky enough to find her on Facebook, after an interval of over 35 years. We were lucky enough to get to see her when she held a birthday party recently here in LA (she’s now living up in Oregon). So I just wanted to add a personal note to wish her a very happy birthday, and I hope that we will be able to remain in touch, for I have very few folks left… and fewer friends… that know me going back to my boyhood days in Westchester. I also know that she knows who the Sheriff is, for he was on KTTV in our shared childhood.

OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and pulls out a keyboard and a sampler. Adjusting his equipment, he starts playing and singing in the style of Cibo Matto the song “Birthday Cake” for in_quinecorners:
