So I'm driving down the highway listening to my favorite oldies station here in the NC/SC border (a non-comm at 90.3) and at 1 PM they're running the Obituaries for the day.
Being the ex-radio pro that I am, I thought "Gee, I wonder what songs might just possibly follow this each day. "DOA" by Bloodrock? "Seasons In The Sun" by Terry Jacks? "Patches" by Dickie Lee? "Teen Angel" by Mark Dinning? "Let's Live For Today" by The Grassroots or one of hundreds of others?
Unbelievable! The legal ID played followed by....
Freda Payne's "Band of Gold"...
"Now that you're gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dream I hold
Is a band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you are still here with me
You took me from the shelter of a mother I had never known
Who loved any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms
I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon that you'll walk
Back through that door
And love me like you tried before..."
