The sweetest Caroline

scan0006

“Sweet Caroline” Neil Diamond Uni Records (shown here with a very special spindle girl – my sweet Caroline!)

Officially released on September 16, 1969, Neil only recently revealed that he wrote this after seeing a Life magazine photo of Caroline Kennedy riding a pony in the mid-sixties.   But every Caroline owns it.   The song has been a tradition at Boston’s Fenway Park since 1997, and since 2002 it has been played at every game in the middle of the eighth inning.   Elvis liked to sing it.

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would

Elephants memory

babar1

The Adventures of Babar the Elephant   Philips France   As I imagine many of my generation do, I remember Babar well from those first oversized books I read and reread as a young boy.   Like Bambi, it begins with his mother getting shot and killed by hunters.   Pretty heavy.   I should go back and read it again.
