Fooled Around and Fell in Love
Saturday 9: Fooled Around and Fell in Love (1976)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
Chosen because this weekend is April Fool's Day.
1) As an April Fool's prank, Taco Bell once announced they had purchased The Liberty Bell and renamed it The Taco Liberty Bell. Describe your perfect taco. I love Taco Bell's supreme tacos. Crunchy, ground beef, cheese, lettuce, spicy salsa, and sour cream. I like the ones I make, just like that, too.
2) In 1989, a British policeman investigated a flying saucer that had landed in a field in Surrey. When a figure in a spacesuit emerged, the policeman ran away. Turns out it was a hot air balloon, designed by billionaire Richard Branson to look like a UFO. Have you ever seen a UFO? When I was a kid, we used to watch the sky and were sure we saw UFOs, but I don't believe I've seen a real unidentified flying object.
3) This week's song is about a man who collected girls' phone numbers in a little book. When he and she broke up, he'd tear out her page. Do you keep a pen-and-paper address book? Or do you use your cellphone to hold street addresses as well as phone numbers? I don't have a paper address book anymore. I use Google calendar and it syncs between my phone and my computer.
4) This was the biggest hit blues guitarist Elvin Bishop ever had, but that's not him singing it. While he's proud of his composing and guitar prowess, Bishop felt his voice was too gravelly for this song. Do you like your singing voice? Ha! No, I don't like my singing voice, and trust me, you wouldn't either!!
5) A brainy kid, Elvin Bishop won a full scholarship to the University of Chicago, where he majored in physics. Obviously, though, as a blues guitarist, he doesn't lean on that physics degree very often. What's something you learned in school that you seldom used again? Chemistry, algebra, geometry...
6) Elvin was born in Iowa, grew up in Oklahoma, went to college in Illinois, recorded in Georgia and now lives in California. How many different states have you called home? Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida.

7) In 1976, the Summer Olympics were held in Montreal. When did you most recently visit our neighbor to the north? I believe it was the summer of 1968. That was the last summer my family vacationed in Ontario.
8) Nadia Comaneci was the star of the 76 Olympics, scoring a perfect 10 in gymnastics. What have you enjoyed lately that you would rate "a perfect 10?" The shrimp pasta at Shell's perhaps!
9) Random question: Do you ever talk to your TV? All. The. Time. It's either the TV or the cats. Best part... they don't talk back! 😁

Up at 4:30 a.m. to get to the Derby before it starts.
Pray for me. I'll be checking in 100+ kids this morning.
Peace & hugs!
God is so good!!
