if i ruled the world - jamie cullum

I discovered a fun blog some time ago called Peacock Blue, put out there by a kindred spirit named Noni Zamboni. With a little hat tip Noni's way, I am posting this jazzy little number by an English jazz-pop artist, Jamie Cullum.

If I ruled the world, every day would be the first day of spring . . . every heart would have a new song to sing.

This seems the right mood for a Friday evening after a long week. When I was younger, I used to fantasize that I had my own radio show. I'd talk in a low, smokey, slow kind of radio voice and play all the songs that suited me on any given night. Listeners would enjoy my show and call in requests. I'd make far away friends that I'd never meet.

Instead, I have no radio show and a clear, quick sounding kind of voice. I do have a blog that includes occasional music posts, however, and it is kind of nice to have friends who read the blog now and then, and I've made some far away friends that I will probably never meet. Any requests? We're keeping it eclectic here at WJPP . . .

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I've eaten the last yellow jelly bean in the giant bowl on the dining room table. They are all gone. There are no more. The orange ones are not bad, but they are so second place. Have a great weekend.
