I wasn't planning on posting anything today but this time I couldn't resist. Best song? I'll get to that in a few minutes.
First, I need to calm myself down.
I went to lunch today with an old friend. Haven't seen Freddy in several years. I now remember why.
We went to lunch at Ken's Pizza in Burlington, Vt. I asked the pretty waitress if the Restaurant is owned by Ken Laing,
the fella who runs The Kingston Trio Place website.
She answered: "I don't think so. Who's The Kingston Trio?"
The conversation was over and she handed us a menu.
As we were sitting in the Restaurant, I was speaking to Freddy about the state our world is in today,
and I found him staring at his cellphone: STARING AT HIS CELLPHONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got up and left and headed to the Record Store down the street. I lost my appetite.
Second, re BEST SONGS Dept. There's too many to name and obviously "Imagine" by John Lennon would certainly qualify,
as so many Bob Dylan or Paul Simon or Beatles songs - how 'bout George Harrison's "Here Comes The Sun" ?
Phil Ochs' "There But For Fortune" is definitely worth a nod. [most prominent song by Phil]
To be honest, in today's crazy and uncertain world, I'm going with Ed McCurdy's "Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream" (written in 1950).
The words bring tears to my eyes:

Hi Max and Happy Sunday to ya!
I loved the movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's" and of course the song "Moon River" sung by (supposedly) Audrey Hepburn as "Holly" ----
but I believe it was Marni Nixon who's voice we hear.
Marni also pitched in for Audrey Hepburn in the fabulous Musical: "My Fair Lady" (co-starring Rex Harrison).
Thanks for sharing those YouTube vid re "Wichita Lineman". Never seen them before.
