I'm in the Mood For Love
Myth or Musical Motivator
Last week I found myself at the quaint little outside venue known as the Sandbar. While waiting for another frosted beverage to calm my woes and lift my down trodden spirits, I faintly heard the lead singer of the locally hired band (The band name escapes me. I believe it was the Sassy Felines or the Nighttime Sphinxes or Evenings Siamese…. Something nocturnal) anyway, this lead singer started spouting off something about the power of persuasion that the song “I’m in the Mood for Love” possesses when played in social settings.
After this song introduction and without further ado the band began to play this melodious tune. To my amazement, the piece did seem to have a bit of swagger to it. As I sat there listening and feeling a bit downtrodden, I noticed a fair maiden bicycling by on the green belt located right next to the seating area of the Sandbar. Well, stricken by the musical lyrics of the song, I threw caution to wind and gave her a wink as she passed me by.
Initially unfazed by my gesture the lass peddled away, but at a notably slower speed. With a bit of amazement I continued to watch her and see if this tune actually was having some type of romantic effect. She turned her bicycle around and began to pedal my way! Stricken by the weight of the impending situation I simply went blank! Now what? What do I say? What do I do? I was more nervous than a cat in rocking chair factory.
Like a deer in the headlights, I became more and more speechless and braindead the closer she got? She got off her bike and walked right up to me. She looked and me and said with most angelic voice I had ever heard “Why did you wink at me”? At that moment I had but one thought. The song got me into this so maybe it would get me out. I mustarded all my courage, grabbed her hand, looked into her eyes, and said simply “I’m in the mood for Love”.
Well Jennifer and I have been happier than two dogs in in a hubcap factory ever since. Thanks again to the Midnight Kittens or the Late Night Siamese or was it the Midnight Sassy Cats. Anyway you know who you are. The point is my friends, there is always someone on your path that’s in the mood for love.

Reminiscing
As a resident and frequent attendee of your wonderful music, I just want to say how much your group is enjoyed here. I grew up listening to most of the music you folks play, primarily due to my uncle playing with several of the big bands back in the day.
So thank you so much for performing here at Touchmark and bringing back those musical memories of my dear uncle! I always look forward to listening to your music!
Regards,
Patrick M of Touchmark
