Driving Time In July 2017 I bought a car. At that time it had 45,000 km on the odometer, which is partly why I bought it. In our tradition of car-naming my daughter and I named him Thom, short for Thomas. Not Tommy, ever. He is an indigo Blue Honda Fit. By now, April, 2018, and Thom and I have racked up another 30,000km together. There have been things to do and people to see. While we were driving (by ourselves, never when witnessed), a song came. It became an earworm. Then it grew, longer and longer…. I recorded bits of it into voice memos. A few weeks ago when we parked at home, there were enough bits, so I wrote them down, strung them together and recorded a rough version. Here it is… …complete with frogs (one from Costa Rica, another from Toronto) and badly played xylophone (I’m a cello player, not a percussionist, damnit. Also at one point the frogs had a falling out). Warning – it is an earworm. https://keiramcarthur.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/cars-on-the-road-with-frogs-for-you-from-keira.mp3 Share this:PrintEmailFacebookTwitterLinkedInPinterestRedditTumblrLike this:Like Loading...
