It's NPR pledge season now, and I recently heard one new supporter say that she changed the channel because it was all pledge breaks, but had back to NPR because she enjoyed even NPR pledge breaks more than the programming on other stations.
But in Big Frog's car he's got a lot of gospel stations programmed, and not a few bluegrass stations as well.
So we're driving around town and talking, and therefore not really listening to what's on the radio. Unexpectedly, both his and my ears do the auditory equivalent of a doubletake when the singer breaks into a chorus of,
"I'm breaking in a brand new pair of shoes Don't look at me like you think I've got the blues 'Cause I'm walking 'round and around and I'm seeing most of the town I'm just breaking in a brand new pair of shoes."
me: Wow. Just... wow... Wow.
Big Frog, tongue firmly in cheek: Wonder what the inspiration was for that one!
me: Wow... Wow.
Big Frog: Bluegrass. Where songs come from life.
There's a lot to get used to, living in the South. Also, this.
On a brighter note, here's an alligator video by one of my favorite children's illustrators, Sandra Boynton:
It is from her awesome book-and-CD, Frog Trouble.
