Whistling Jameson

Whistling Jameson

1935 – 2007

Whistling loved the ice cream truck song. It reminded her of Daddy when he was the ice cream man for the town of Rollick. Whistling’s family lived about seven miles away in the neighboring town - Frisk. Daddy’d have to pass Memory Mounds Cemetery everyday on his way to Rollick and again heading back home.

World War II took Daddy away. Whistling didn’t get to know him well, but he had to go fight them Nazis “…so’s you, and Mom, and everyone we love can keep living our lives,” Mom always told Whistling, but what Whistling’s experiences with her father (that she can recall) were wonderful; even in her adulthood they inspired dreams. And Mother always assured Whistling that Daddy was a wonderful man.

Keepin' it Nappy

The best listening times for this song are the hardest times. I’ve relied on this tune on several occasions, several days, and conscientiously I will get tired of it, but when I need either reassurance or just a plain ole reality check – I will be hearing this song.

Aaannnd we be keepin' it Nappy...

Honest Jealousy

A senseless gesture interpreted

As a heartfelt contribution

 To a conceived hostile unity

By an open-mind travelling for two

Down a one way road.

A flower in the hand,

Once believed to be an omen

Of better things to come,

But it wasn’t the first time,

Being in the wrong place

With the right smile.

Currently jamming: Namie Amuro - Come

I used to awaken in the middle of the morning to this song - sometime betwixt 2:30 a.m. & 3 a.m. as the end-credits of Inuyasha rolled.

It still sounds lovely. .
