Meme-ing it further

Continuing the Meme, in no particular order, today is Day 2 although I choose to …

… Forward, to Day 30,

My favorite song at this time last year:

[Yael Naim]

Indeed, at this time last year, for a few months, I listened to this song almost every day. My dear, good friend, Jack Berkley, has been sending me compilation CDs as a New Year gift, these past two years. Yael Naim's "Paris" was on one of the songs on his CD for last year. I had never heard her before, and was thrilled to discover an Israeli singer on his CD since I had lived in Israel for 19 years prior to coming to the States. 

More importantly, though, this song was exceptionally timely for me at this time last year, because I just happened to be in the process of planning a trip to Paris for my sixtieth birthday (one week away today – last year) – when the CD arrived! 

And so, as I would listen to this song I would become excited and joyous about the trip ahead.
