A Walk in the Black Forest

"Fifty-six channels and nothing's on," says a line from one of Bruce Springsteen's songs. That's how my own t.v. set functions. But yesterday I discovered the "Sounds of the Season" songs on the music channel. Wow, nothing but one polka and German beer-drinking song after another! Suddenly my feet started moving, and I danced around my living room and right out onto the front porch pass my rocking chair, down onto the sidewalk, and half-way down the block until I couldn't hear the loud notes anymore. I frightened all the birds from the nearby trees and two cats.
