Episode 3 Preview - (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay

We've got our first special guest lined up for this week's episode: Ms. Carolyn Beaumier!!

Carolyn broke out of our subconscious mold of just doing 90's songs with a real Golden Oldy: Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay".

To get ready for the show, dust off the ol' phonograph and your wax cylinder of this track, or just do what I did and

 Or get it on Amazon (free download with Prime!) or on Google Music.

And if you want to read along with the song, here are the lyrics.


                                                      "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay"

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

[harmonic whistling]

Just be sure to get it, listen to it, think about it, write down some questions, mull over your answers, and tune in on our new day, Wednesday, for the discussion.
