“All Over the World” goes back to my late teens, and I still find it a very emotional performance. Of course, being in my late teens, and Francois Hardy singing in her pj’s on a flying bed probably helped!
For any Judith Durham (The Seekers) fans out there, there is on YouTube a video of her singing this song. A quite different presentation, and also very easy listening, but the original recording was Francois Hardy. Enjoy.

That was soothing. I miss the songs that had meaning, and stories, and you could understand the words. They were great, from both sides of the big pond.

I like her soft voice. Seems to me like much of the music you grew up with is different from mine, due to you growing up in Europe. I’ve been unfamiliar with many of your Saturday tunes, before hearing them on your blog. So I wonder if you’ve had the same experience hearing the oldie tunes we play on this side of the pond?

Awh! What a lovely, poignant song. If I had known this song when I was dating Brad I am sure I would have been playing it over and over, all those times we had to say goodbye as he drove over 5oo miles back home. Those goodbyes were tough! Thanks for the song. đ

I needed that reminder after feeling Old today while looking wayyy too long in the Walmart parking lot for my van! Long enough for someone sitting in their car to notice me going up and down the parking lot. They yelled out asking me if I needed help.
I was feeling pretty confident that A.my van had been stolen or B. I was going crazy!

I reported my car stolen (from a Shopping Mall parking lot) quite a few years ago now. While I was explaining things on the phone to the police, I remembered where I had parked it! đ

LOL!! Now I feel better. đ
I could practically match your story. I was truly moments away from calling Brad and saying the van had been stolen, for I no longer wanted to walk in the parking lot, wondering who else may be watching me from their vehicle!
Then it dawned on me as I literally smacked my head ! Brad had taken my van this morning and I had driven his car to Walmart. Yes, when looking for a silver van, it is easy to bypass a red Cavalier! đ

In my case, I always parked in the same place at this Mall …. until that day. I came out looking for the car in the usual place and, of course, it was not there. According to the police, it was quite a common occurrence! đ

So did you go back to parking in the same place again after that? đ
There you go, a “common occurrence ” we don’t need to feel bad! âş

It was/is a very big Mall, and so parking was based around the desired store(s) to go to. It was not until some major stores changed that my parking habits changed. I did however remember that incident and noted where I was parking at future visits! đ

I am sure you wouldn’t forget that incident too quickly. đ Good for you in not doing a repeat performance!
I will remember this incident for awhile too I am sure, with my husband’s help of course!

I noticed that you said the mall is still big, that just caught my attention for the mall near us is pretty much dead. It was thriving when the kids were little but now is like a ghost town as more and more stores close down. I know other malls facing the same thing. Ours was not a really big mall, but it was nice to have. Strip malls and online shopping are kind of taking over.

There was a trend here to large Malls, and generally develop subdivisions around the use of a car. The problems developed with traffic congestion, and changing views of cars as a result of gas pricing, insurance, environment issues etc. The trend now is to include small stores in subdivisions … which has drawn business away from the Malls. People now tend to look for homes which are within walking distance of stores.
