5.3 Lake, Respect, and a Simple Question

The Paul Williams lyrics — Can you guess? — Following up — Talking past things — Too noisy and windy — Not morning — Golden time for lake episodes — The wind — Human and animal activities — Bird fight — Their own business — At the lake and in the boat — Past summers — Ran the boat ashore — Weather forecast — More regular podcasting — Broadcasting — Radio shows — Always liked finding my own way — Maybe just didn’t find the right programmes — Tastes and interests — Northern Exposure — Chris Stevens (“Chris in the Morning”) — His radio show — Ideal — Terrific talk, real honesty, curiosity, great music — End of tangent — One important thing — Train wanderings, thoughtwise — Respect for living performers — Pianists — What I didn’t want to do — That should be theirs — Real performances — The sheet music — For others to take over one day — For this music to be complete — Questioning — One last thing — Adrift — Catching the thought — Fishing — Simple question — Simple answer — Not an option — All I could do — Going home — Salvage something — When it’s like the world is new and young again
