This old gal…
Came out of that Herman’s Hermits show singing and dancing and twirling around like she was Maria in the opening scenes of The Sound of Music… The vibe of the show had been empowering…heartwarming…exhilarating…and one of us couldn’t believe she actually knew most of the songs… Must have heard them back in the day on the radio not realizing who the artist was…seemed unfair to have enjoyed the music and not given credit where credit was due… How had it gotten by her all these years that there was a band named Herman’s Hermits and that they sang those fun songs?..she was perplexed…in a state of wonder… And then…a few days later, sitting in the front room, she hears Herman’s Hermits and the mystery is solved…she’s been listening to their music for years now…8 years…her married years… One of us has this routine…his getting-ready-making-the-bed morning routine…plays music on his laptop…music he loves…music from his past…Nick Lowe…Buddy Holly…Flaco Jiminez…Herman’s Hermits… And his unsuspecting wife putzing around somewhere else in the house…has subconsciously…fallen in love… With those tunes…with those nameless artists…because music is magic…and take it from an old gal…there’s no better way to start each day than with a little bit of musical magic… And this husband of mine…agrees…
