Peaches come from a can
They were put there by a man
in a factory downtown.
If I had my way
I’d eat peaches every day
Sun-soaked bulges in the shade.

Millions of peaches
Peaches for me

That song was from the one-hit wonder group, The Presidents of the United States of America.

Is that a real group? 

I could google, but it takes up more posts to ask.

Since it's Can Day and also Doris Day's birthday week, from LOVER COME BACK

That isn’t even their biggest hit, which was the Gershwinesque “Lump.”

I like canned tuna. Beans. Corn.

Recently tried my first Dinty Moore Beef Stew.

I survived on cans in college. But yeah, it’s awfully salty food.

I’m afraid i do not understand these words. Whatever language you’re using is not Griffin speak.

I had two fantastic deliveries yesterday: the new vocal score for Love Life and a book I've wanted for some time. It's usually rather too expensive for me, but I lucked out several weeks ago and found a nice copy on eBay for less than $20.

As to the new Love Life vocal score, I wish that digitized music had the grace, balance, and beauty of engraved music. The score isn't as horrifying as some, but when we worked on the Babes in Toyland edition, we tried very much to make the new scores look more like the old engraved scores.

I have blueberries growing. I have netted the plants. I hope they keep the birds, squirrels and other hungry critters away.

Why does my darling Jane not ever mention that she read Vegas Can Be Murder? She left s brief review on Goodreads - I rarely go there anymore, but I couldn't remember if I'd put the book on there. Thankfully, I did.

DR RODZINSKI I received my generous payment for the magazine article!  Thanks so much.

I immediately called Long's Tree Service to get an estimate to have my bush trimmed.

We shall see if I have any $$ left.

TOD: In general I avoid canned food, but good canned tuna, canned San Marzano tomatoes, jarred anchovies, and jarred cannelini beans are delicious exceptions.

San Marzano tomatoes are excellent. And Ro-tel is always nice to have on hand.

I know whereof you speak, DR Elmore. Other newer published vocal scores have that "cold" look, and it seems so unnecessary. Because they could indeed look absolutely beautiful if the know-how and effort were put into them.
