This morning woke up with this song on my mind after a difficult day was had,
found myself singing it as I was putting on the kettle for the first coffee.
I remember buying this album in New York in 1988 on cassette for the walkman.
I was desperate for a soundtrack that blocked out the difficulties of maintaining equilibrium there.
It worked and I would take one day off a week, just to hang out at International House doing laundry in the basement or hanging out in the beautiful art deco foyer lounge doing nothing.
So far behind me now in the rearview mirror of memories so near I can touch the sentiments still.
Have a good day out there in the waves RZSS denziens.

Favourite track on the album:
A bit Eurocentric / Anglocentric (I know), but this album transcends language. I have had a number of happy Pepper moments, but one of my favourites was when one of my brothers arrived unannounced at my flat in St.Kilda one winter's night in the mid 80's with four or five of the most impossibly beautiful Danish women that he had met somewhere. They all had a reasonable, but at times imperfect grasp of English, and at a loss as to how to entertain everyone, I resorted to jazz cigarettes and Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. A splendid time was guaranteed for all and after a lot of smiling and a bit of a sing along, they all left happily to continue their adventures.
A nice memory.
