Hadn't heard this song in some time and just happened to catch it on the radio while driving earlier (what a great day, right?!). Turned up the volume, window was cracked to let in the breezy warmth and I danced a little behind the wheel. Good stuff.

R&B artist Gwen McCrae, singing with her sultry voice, "Rockin' Chair"



The song is from 1975.
The video appears to be a 2008 performance.

Rarely do I post lyrics and today is one of those times.

Rockin' Chair

Sexy baby, good loving daddy
Let me be your rocking chair
Just rock me away from here
Let's get in on; come to me baby
Let me be your rocking chair
Just rock me away from here

Let your arms shelter me from all hurt and pain
Light my heart with your everlasting flame

Sexy baby, good loving daddy
Let me be your rocking chair
Rock me away from here
Let's get it on; come to me baby
Let me be your rocking chair
Rock me away from here

Rock me gently;
Make me feel like a cloud in the sky
Whisper softly;
Let my heart take wing and fly

Sexy baby, good loving daddy
Let me be your rocking chair
Just rock me away from here
Let's get it on; come to me honey
Let me be your rocking chair
Rock me away from here

Just rock me baby
In my rocking chair, baby
All night long till the morning comes
Just you, baby
Just rock me hun; rock me baby
Till the midnight hour
In my rocking chair
All night long
Come on baby, sexy baby
Let me be your rocking chair
Just rock me away from here
Come on baby, sexy honey
Let me be your rocking chair
Just rock me away from here
Rock me baby
[ Rockin' Chair Lyrics on ]

I'm kind of in the mood for drinks on and around Allen Street area.. I'm thinking Cathode Ray. It has come up in conversations a few times in as many days, and now I am feeling the need to embark on a little trip out there. Usually if I am out that way, I am on the other side of Allen. It has been awhile for any of it and I would like to see who is out and what is new, different and the same.

You know how that goes.

So, does Cathode still make super strong drinks in those giant glass canning jars? Mmmmm

Is Fugazi still open (on Franklin)? Would be nice to start off with a Martini.

I'm thinking Saturday night.

What are ya'll up to? If in the mood to get social-drunk-crazy-whatever- perhaps make it an unofficial-semi official event?

Supposed to be not freezing that day, so, I say lets get out there!

How many e-strippers does it take to fill a photo booth?

I'd love to see the culmination of all those photos taken, and how many people did not realize that Timika and Rory get a dvd copy of all the pics/craziness taken that night.

PS. (e:drew)- I have your set of pictures. It was left behind on the table near the booth. I'd like to get them to you, so please let me know how best to do that.

In response to your comment Paul (on my previous post), I didn't take any pics at the party. (e:pyrcedgrrl) got a few with her phone which I just snagged from her. They happen to be of you. Your outfit was hilarious. What were you again, a "Christmas Ghost" or 'Ghost of Christmas' ? Nice use of Christmas decorations.

I didn't take any pictures at the wedding and only took a few at the reception; all of which I will post soon. In the meantime, here is the one picture that really stands out from any of the others I took.

awwww
