Mike Shannon, Frank and I had about three months of a morning ritual about five years ago. Mike was living with us while he and Kathleen looked around for the perfect house. We'd sit together in Frank's office for coffee and conversation, while Frank read the paper and mused about the world.
Mike brought me coffee this morning. Still in Frank's office, we had a good time talking about old times and new times. I told him about my "widows-to-windows" thoughts, and he pointed out a great line in a Steve Goodman-John Prine tune: "Broken hearts and dirty windows make life difficult to see."
Here's the full song, "Souvenirs." Mike, who has had some amazing experiences in his lifetime, says that Goodman and Prine sang this song in his living room in Edinboro, Pennsylvania, while he prepared supper, in spring of 1977.
