Song 806: This week the playlist applauds Anticipation by Carly Simon, who also wrote the song, and you can find a cool YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. I spent the warm season after my sophomore year at Northwestern University working as a summer missionary in Atlanta, GA, for the Southern Baptist Church, and in September of 1971 I returned to my apartment in Evanston, IL, even though I had decided to end my college education. A friend introduced me to an attractive young woman that he thought I would like, and I soon began a passionate connection with her. I could have mentioned to her how easy it felt to be with her, as the radio would sometimes remind us in the background during our moments together, since I could tell how right her arms did feel around me. At the time, I thought I did know about the days to come, when, in the near future, my musical talent would bring me fame and fortune. However, I was not a prophet, and despite my anticipation, that magical reality didn't arrive, but even so, I do not look back on that era as being the good old days.
