    Pre-Covid, I used to help out with a sing-song at our local nursing home and this song was/is in the songbook - but we never sang it. So, one day, I sang it A Capella and, when there line came up about 'from the Frigidaire' , I motioned towards the refrigerator in a corner and most of the people were really tickled by that. Also, I remember seeing it sung by Bob Hope and .......... in the movie, Thanks for the Memory. Thank you for the memory, Allison!

    I spend every Allison video trying to decide if I'm more charmed by her voice, her hair, her fashion, her face, her musical sensibility, or her vintage mics.

    Everyone is telling you that you are an astounding singer - and you are indeed. But as a guitarist I must tell you that your guitar accompaniment is wonderful. It’s very effective and characteristic, stylish and lovely. Simple and tricky at the same time, a well hidden strength: such a humble accompaniment which doesn’t steal the scene from the solo line is the best what can you do for any song.

It has such a deep timeless essence to it, I can't explain what it does to my heart but it moves me deeply and I'm very grateful to be able to hear these songs. Thank you again Miss Young. Truly...

    Here we are
    Out of cigarettes

    Look how late it gets
    Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
    And too much in love to say goodnight
    Here we are
    In the cozy chair
    Picking on a wishbone
    From the frigidair
    Two sleepy people with nothing to say
    And too much in love to break away
    Do you remember
    The nights we used to linger in the hall?
    My dad didn't like you at all
    Do you remember
    The reason why we married in the fall?
    To rent this little nest
    And get a bit of rest
    Well, here we are
    Just about the same
    Foggy little fella
    Drowsy little dame
    Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
    And too much in love to say goodnight
