If I Could
Last night Julie was talking about her kids and their journey on a train from NYC and she used the phrase "If I could, I would..." and I piped up "That's a song!" Julie then asked what song it was, and I blanked. I knew it wasn't the title but all I could remember of the song was that it played during a poignant moment in a made-for-tv movie that I saw in the early 1970s. And that the word "hammer" was used at least once. So... in the past I'd never had a chance of finding out what song it was. No doubt I'd be cursing my memory for days before I finally gave up on trying to figure out what song it was. But today, with search engines like Google, anything is possible. I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail. Yes I would, if I could, I surely would. I'd rather be a hammer than a nail. Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would. It turns out that the movie was titled "Voyage of the Yes" , made in 1973 and it starred Desi Arnaz...
