Trips like these afford you a lot of time to stop and think about things. I’ve been using that time to develop a new musical theory. It’s a little hard to put across in “coherent sentences,” but it boils down to the idea that all truly great songs end in “Hey!” For example: “The Dreidel Song.” Also, some versions of “The Birthday Song.”
\nThis new idea of mine may be partly influenced by the fact that I’ve been spending a lot of time with kids on this trip. Or mebbe it’s something about the 90+ degree clime we’re experiencing here in beautiful Colmar, France (birthplace of Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric August Bartholdi, creator of the Statue of Liberty). Or maybe, just maybe, I’m right.
\nSpeaking of things I may well be right about: I saw a sign in Switzerland that I’m pretty sure said “please don’t dress up like a dog and poop on my lawn.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
