There was always radio which brought us

Songs from wlac in nashville and what we
would now call
Easy listening or smooth jazz but when I
listened
Late at night with my portable (that I was so
proud of)
Tucked under my pillow
I heard nat king cole and matt dennis, june
christy and ella fitzgerald
And sometimes sarah vaughan sing black
coffee
Which I now drink
It was just called music
