You Can Call Me Al
I love Paul Simon and I love this song! It reminds me of when we moved into this house. Gosh, it was 34 years ago on Tuesday. My brother had a way of showing up when you needed him and that time was no exception. He was wearing a baseball cap, as usual, and this particular one had the letters "AL" on it. I said "I guess we can call you Al". He looked puzzled until I gestured at his cap then he threw his head back and laughed. I love remembering him that way. Now, it was just a few years ago that I realized that our mom's name, Betty, was in the song. I thought it was Eddie until I finally heard it with headphones.
And my dad was Lee, who could drop off his key and get himself free.
