It’s a song, sung by Christofferson, and it’s a great song for today.
The head hurts, liquid breakfast (not beer, though), and needed another coffee to wash it down. Still in PJs, stumbling around like an old fart.
No, I don’t smoke no more, and there’s no one out on the road kickin’ anything, but the pub across the road sure smells good.
Roast lamb. I can smell it. It takes me back to my childhood, the regular roast on the first Sunday of the month.
Memories. It’s what makes us. That and experience.
We take what we’ve learned and tend to teach the lessons we learned at the knee of those who raised us. Not always, but usually, because it’s hard to break from the known and step into the unknown.
It’s a risk. It’s why the people who break from what they’ve learned in the community of family are designated ‘black sheep’. I’m the black sheep. Left it all behind, went my own way.
Now, I have sad songs for Sunday mornin’s comin’ down, sung in the velvet tones of Chris Christofferson. What’s scary, though, is that I remember when it first came out. It still has the same emotional effect, though, and I will always love his voice, the silver-tongued devil he is.
I hope the YouTube link to the song works – enjoy your Sunday mornin’ comin’ down:
I hope you wore your cleanest dirty shirt for the occasion. 😉

I remember that song – some mornings are just like that. He sung it perfectly. I don’t know if I’d call myself the black sheep but I certainly am the odd one out.

Lord, he was a pretty thing back then! I remember the LP and the Silver-
tongued Devil. Maybe it was a cassette. Long time ago. Thanks for the memories.

Desperate to get Johnny Cash’s attention, one day Kristofferson decided to fly a helicopter and land it on his property and he ended up having him record this song.

Yes, I’ve heard the rendition with the two of them (still prefer the original, though, despite loving some of Johnny Cash’s songs – Riders in the Sky, for example)

Sometimes the YouTube videos don’t work – not predictable, except that different rules for different countries. Sorry.

I’m wondering if it’s the influence of too many visitors in the upper age range …
