Guests who make frequent visits to Sauro Motel will quickly learn that I am a big fan of John Eddie’s music. I’m actually a multi-decade-long member of the Faithful. As an introduction to his music, below is a link to John performing his song “Everything.†Every time I’ve heard him sing this song, he introduced it by saying it’s “for everybody that’s been divorced.â€
Although there are several clips of “Everything†on the web, I prefer this one because of John’s passionate performance, and the guy dancing with his little girl in front of the stage.
The last time I heard this song live was at The Bitter End in NYC several months ago. My only claim to fame is that I am usually the instigator of the audience “Momentum Clapping†that should start 3 minutes and 32 seconds into the song. I was pleasantly surprised that night when a group of Twenty Something women joined in. Rather than make me feel like Wolfman from “That Thing You Do,†it inspired me to offer a link to my short story, “Diving For Pennies,†which has Twenty Somethings, a music theme, and, on its face, appears to be about divorce. Check it out. http://www.sauromotel.com/2007/07/diving-for-pennies/
