Think Mink: Every once in a while I go ga-ga over a recording, only to suddenly drop it, like a cat bored with a dead mouse. Such a recording is "I Heard I Wish It Would Rain" by the Jasmine Minks, on one of many really good CDs I recently received from The Bus Stop Label. The song's filled with hooks and ear candy, with male/female switchoff lead vocals—the female singer even sounds like me [always a turn-on]. It's got a false ending, a wistful lyric, and so much other cool Dawn Eden stuff.
There's just one problem.
When I wake up in the morning, after playing the song at bedtime, I can't remember how it begins. I've listened to the darn thing 20 times by now, and I still can't retain its opening melody, let alone the words. As any fan of classic pop music knows, when that's the case, there's something wrong.
So I'm going to give the EP to the first person who asks me for it. Just one catch: You have to pick it up from me at Tuesday Night Trivia. And I need a day's notice so I can be sure to bring it along. And you have to let me know how you like it. And...and...g'night.
