Description
#100 Tuesday 9 Jan. 10:15 Sweetie pie- It's hard to get started tonight - I had just returned from my English class when my three roommates, plus Zas, wandered in and drifted into a quiet little jam session without instruments. Riley Ewing remembers all the popular songs (almost literally) from about 1918-1928, Zas (even tho he's only 24 or 25) most of those since. I’d repeat the titles but the lights will go out soon and tomorrow's a full day - pay day again, so I work from early morning to bed time. It's a lot of fun chiming in (recently it's been “I ain't got nobody” - “Tea for Two” - “Margie” - “Sometimes I'm Happy” - “When Day is Done” - “Valencia” - “When the Red Red Robin…” - “Home” - “At Sundown” - ‘Home on the Range” - “Whispering” - “My Blue Heaven” - “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” - that's only a small sample out of hundreds) I've been reading over some of the Christmas cards and enjoying them - a few, like [Fred?], I've discarded but will acknowledge in my next typed letter; the rest I'll return to you, some by airmail and some first class. Did you keep track of whom we received them from, in your address book? I'll send the list you sent me just in case. Gosh, darling. I just can't keep drifting back with the “conversation” - to bed very soon (I think of you a dozen times as some song or other comes up) I love you, darling Warren
