So here's a coincidence -
and a resulting blast from the past,
and knowledge gained . . .
I'm sitting here in Vancouver, BC . . . catching up on a bit of work (on a stat holiday no less!), after taking a few days break.
We've had about a week of crappy OTT
(I.E.: WAY TOO HOT) weather, and with no air conditioning (the number of days we get these temps doesn't merit the cost), we were quite relieved that TODAY, the temps dropped and a breeze kicked in.
- So . . . windows & doors open . . . lovely stuff!
I hit a technical error with one of my clients' sites, so phoned their helpdesk. I get put on hold while they do some juggling behind the scenes, and instead of the sort of really annoying music I often get when on hold, got something I recognised - but it wasn't
"quite right".
It was
"Summer Breeze", covered by someone I didn't recognise - but wasn't as good as the version I knew.
Once the bug was fixed and I was off the phone, a quick bit of google-foo tracked down the 1973/74 SINGLE version by the Isley Brothers. It was like finding a long-lost friend
I didn't even know that THEIR version was itself a cover version (theirs is the version that is well-known in the UK)
OR that it was "part 1" (always did think it ended a bit abrubtly).
So I put it on repeat for half-hour while appreciating the breeze cooling down our house, and relaxed for a while with some awesome soulful rock - great music, great lyrics, from a great band.
- Nice!
