It may seem strange being that I have taken my screen name ooby dooby from an old rockabilly song by Roy Orbison but in truth I never really cared much for him and find it hard to understand how many people seem to think he had some kind of great voice. To me he sounds like scraping paint off glass with a razor blade. Anyway, one morning as I was lying in bed in a semi conscious state listening to the clock radio the song "Crying" came on. Now I always hated this song but as I lay there listening to it I found myself thinking, gee maybe I'm wrong about Roy Orbison, I'm actually enjoying this song. By the end of the song I had completely changed my mind about Roy and the song Crying. Then the announcer said....."That was Don Mclean doing the big Roy Orbison hit, Crying."
You shared that one before Sandi and I couldn't stop listening to it. Ironic,for I never cared much for McCartny just as Ooby_dooby found Orbison not to his liking.. It changes over time just like other tastes. Once I disliked pickled squid....now I eat it all the time... John
