Jason in Massachusetts writes: “This album caught my eye at a tag sale so I bought it. I found it sexy and classy. From the title track “Come Saturday Morning” I got the impression the work week is done and now it’s time for pleasure (wink), and I imagined her weary husband/lover sleeping in late and she wakes him up, and when his eyes come into focus she is standing there with just his neck tie around her neck and the weekend gets off on the right track. PS-I love the site!”
