So, I sit here in my craft room (aka my "woman cave"!), looking out at my backyard. In addition to most of the snow from yesterday being gone, I see one of the neighbors' cats stalking some tiny creature. My cats are indoor cats, and they are presently passed out on my bed in a catnip stupor. I won't see them until around 3:00, when they want to be fed.
My mood has improved today, thankfully. Didn't really have any urgent errands to run, so I stayed home today and cleaned some stuff. Don't worry, I didn't get too carried away with the cleaning, because that would just be insanity! LOL Plus, if I spent too much time cleaning, I might have forgotten the song of the day, and wouldn't THAT be tragic??? Well, not really, but here it is....
Today's song is called "Lay Down Your Arms" by the band, The Graces, from their 1989 album "Perfect View"
The Graces were a short-lived band founded by Charlotte Caffey of the Go Go's, and also included Meredith Brooks, who had the hit song "Bitch" in 1998. "Lay Down Your Arms" was a minor hit that I really liked. When I bought the CD, I really liked the rest of the songs as well. Unfortunately, not enough people agreed with me, because "Perfect View" didn't sell in big numbers and the Graces never made a second album. Shame, because I felt that they were underrated. I'm pretty sure this CD is out-of-print now, but used copies can be found. Of course, Meredith Brooks went on to have a hit solo album, and Charlotte Caffey eventually re-joined the Go-Go's, and the third girl, Gia-something, left the group to sing backup for Bruce Springsteen then apparently vanished in the Bermuda Triangle or something. Well, not really, but where is she now? Come to think of it, where is Meredith Brooks now? Guess being a "bitch" didn't serve her that well, after all, huh? :)
