Where the heck did the summer go ? The lazy, crazy, hazy days of Summer…and the under the boardwalk nights, watching the fireworks…and making some of our own…and the most beautiful girls in the world in their summer dresses…and walking in the sand. There’s still some time left, but as Big Louie, his own bad self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation always says: “Life is like a giant roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end the faster it goes.” Time to grab a share of the Summer love you’ve got coming to you…it’s going by pretty fast.
One of the projects I wanted to do this Summer was to produce another Night Connections album. And I just finished it this week. To celebrate…let me give you a “Where did the summer go” gift…for this week only. I’ll send the new Night Connections 3 personal audio album to you via a download…free. Just drop me a note at Dick@DickSummer.com. Just this one week only…then it goes to CD Baby and Amazon for distribution and sale.
When you get the album, if you feel like it, I’d appreciate it if you’d tell me which cuts you like, and which you don’t like. But you don’t have to do that if you don’t have the time/inclination. No strings. Free gift.
The Night Connections CD series is important to me, because lots of the stories in it started going around in my head because of phone calls that I got while I was on the air late at night. Anonymous voices on the phone are sometimes direct lines to the heart. Some of those folks told me things they’d never tell their therapists, their mates, or even their holy guys. And I’ve found over the years, that those gut honest stories are more common than most people believe. And it seems to me that if some of these things were happening to me, I’d like to know that I wasn’t the only one…I’m not alone.
Connections are two way streets. So these are very short stories…about two and a half minutes each…and if they’re doing what I hope they’ll do, you’ll want to supply your own conclusions to each of them. That’s something I’d also like you to tell me. What do you think each of these people might do to resolve their situations. But as I said…there are no strings to this “End of Summer” celebration gift. Just send me an email: Dick@DickSummer.com .
Connections depend on communications…which often get pretty badly screwed up…even commercially. There are some really hair raising examples of that in the Dick’s Details Quiz. All the answers are in the current podcast.
1- Which ball point pens will NOT impregnate you ?
2- What connection did Colgate have with French porn?
3- Who claimed that, “It takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate ?”
Dick’s Details. They take your mind off your mind.
One of the tracks from the brand new Night Connections 3 personal audio album is in the current podcast. It’s about a guy who was driving to his girlfriend’s home, when he almost got blown off the road with a cell phone call from her. It’s called, It’s Not Your Fault. Aren’t there some kind of hints in a relationship like that ? Isn’t there some heat missing…or maybe misplaced…some kind of hesitation in a caress ? When he looked deep into her eyes, didn’t he see some kind of confusion looking back…or even some kind of resentment ? I don’t know. If you have some clues about that, please let me know. I’d really appreciate it.
If you like the story, you can just keep the podcast. Or if you’d like a free download of the whole cd, just drop me an email… Dick@DickSummer.com …this week only. Then it goes on sale at CD baby and Amazon dot com. Feel free to pass the free download around to friends, but please don’t sell it.
“The Summer has inhaled, and held its breath too long,” is a line from a great old song. A line from another great song goes, “It’s a long, long time, from May to December. And the days grow short, as you reach September.” As Big Louie, his own bad self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie generation always says about this time of year, “Enjoy what’s left…before your birthday suit needs a pressing, and the candles cost more than your birthday cake.”
I have a date tonight with my Lady Wonder Wench. We’re going to a nice restaurant, and a show. She’s lovely in her loose fitting, blue, cotton, Summer dress. And I must admit I look dashing in my gold lame loin cloth and purple ostrich feather. I hope they don’t spoil the effect at the restaurant by making me put on a jacket.
Dick, thanks for the summer gift
Thank you, except for the slightly disturbing thought of you in a gold lame loin cloth and purple feather!
Have you nominated your old station manager for the WBZ Radio hall of fame?
Glad you like Night Connections 3. I’ll have you know I get attention when I wear my gold lame loin cloth and purple ostrich feather. And yes,
I sent several notes to the R&R Hall of Fame asking that they consider adding Al Heacock. They simply ignored me. I HATE IGNORANCE !
