An Ode To One Of My Favorite Places!! Twistin the night away - Sam Cooke

                      

Sam Cooke's "Twistin The Night Away" came on Pandora this morning, and as i was singing along.. i realized it perfectly describes my lovely weekend trip i'm about to take to Long Lake, NY!!!

                                     "Let me tell you 'bout a place
                                      somewhere up-a New York way
                                      where the people are so gay
                                      twistin the night away-ay
                                      here they have a lot of fun
                                      puttin' trouble on the run
                                      man, you find the old and young
                                      twistin the night away."

Man, such a great song!  If you know me at all, you know i'm such a sucker for some good Motown...(Thanks Mama ;))!!  Sometimes i wish songs today could be just as simple and carefree... lyrics were straight and to the point, everything we sung about was happy, cheerful, just "twistin the night away!"  Simpler times call for simpler songs i guess.  Great tune for a Friday and a lil short Weekend trip into the wild!
