“Daydreams light the corners of my mind.” That was the original opening line of this smash. Barbra Streisand suggested changing “daydreams” to “memories.” I applaud that change.
Barbra Streisand was born on this date in 1942. A few tracks from her are included on today’s playlist.
I keep forgettin’ why I walked in this room I keep forgettin’ where it was that I parked my car I keep forgettin’ my Wifi password I keep forgettin’ where my phone is, oh it’s in my hand
I keep forgettin’ what day of the week it is I keep forgettin’ if turned the oven off or not I keep forgettin’ if I fed those damn cats I keep forgetin’ that I don’t have any cats to feed
I keep forgettin’ to schedule a haircut I keep forgettin’ the last place I put my keys down I keep forgettin’ my apartment doesn’t clean itself I keep forgettin’ something else about some other thing
I haven’t forgotten that Michael McDonald was born on this date in 1952. You can hear him on a few songs on today’s playlist.
Anita Baker was born on this date in 1958. Her classic album Rapture is not on Spotify, though a few of its cuts are. They’re included on today’s playlist.
