A Prairie Home Companion

As intolerable noise from the roadwork just in front of my house seemed to continue all day long today, I went out to see a movie. “A Prairie Home Companion” Story depicting the people of a radio variety show both on stage and backstage on its very last day. It was an enjoyable and memorable movie. The lyric of the song sung toward the end went like this:

Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true

I recognized in no time that I knew the song, but I could not remember when and where I first heard it. I tried hard to remember on my way back home. It is a really nostalgic and old song. I began to think that it might have been sung in a film “The Grapes of Wrath” by Steinbeck. I googled it after I came home. I was right. Remembering the song made me retrospective. Oh! Am I getting old like the people in the show!

Ciabatta bread and Kaiser bread to go with pot-au-feu for dinner tasted somewhat nostaligic and good tonight.
