Hot Slut Of The Day!

As I do every Saturday morning, naturally, I put in my Brenda Russell’s Greatest Hits CD and sat in front of the player with the booklet, singing along like my inner emotions were walking next to hers. Okay, I didn’t do that, but I did bring it up in my iTunes and that sparked the question in my head that should’ve sparked in my head years ago: Has the velvety songbird that is one of the official voices of every doctor’s waiting room ever been Hot Slut? The answer caused me to bust a CITIZEN’S ARREST on myself and I’ll willfully turn myself into the police precinct today.

In the meantime, sway like your mother in the car to the music of Brenda Russell, singer, songwriter, Broadway composer and the merlot-voiced artist who reminds me of simpler times when I still listened to the radio and wasn’t totally embarrassed to sing songs used in commercials. I mean, you know “Get Here” was probably the theme song for Greyhound, Amtrak, inpatient johns, drug mules, every airline, etc… etc….

And “Piano in the Dark” was always my favorite song to put on when ConEd turned off my electricity (it happens to all of us, don’t lie) and all I had was time, candlelight provided by Glade and draining laptop power that forced me to be choosy about my mood music. Thank you, Brenda!
