Song by Song:
Everybody’s On The Run:
“I talk to more answering machines in a day, than I do to people. Nobody’s home.”
Frank and Lola:
“Lucy and Ricky, Fred and Ethel, Laurel and Hardy, Spanky and Buckwheat, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Frank and Lola…they’re all good for a laugh.”
The Perfect Partner:
“When I sang Marshall’s song, I thought of summer nights at the beach long ago doing the shag to THE DRIFTERS records and wanting desperately to fall in love. I still like to shag to THE DRIFTERS.”
Please Bypass This Heart:
“Close your eyes and click your heels, think of skating rinks and spinning wheels. Of those who will and those who won’t, some hearts break while others don’t.”
Gypsies in the Palace:
“I have heard that some of the great parties of all times have been at my house—when I wasn’t there.”
Desperation Samba:
“This song brings to mind two things. First, an image of Robert Mitchum standing in the doorway of a bar in Tijuana, and second, a line by Thomas McGuane, my brother-in-law from his book PANAMA…”The night wrote a check the morning couldn’t cash.”
If The Phone Doesn’t Ring, It’s Me:
“The time spent writing about the intensity involved in trying to keep love together is short; but the endless research can kill you.”
Last Mango In Paris:
“For all the living legends I’ve had the pleasure to know. There’s still so much to be done.”
Jolly Mon Sing:
“There are times in this crazy world when I truly hope that somewhere somebody is living this made up life.”
Beyond The End:
“We are a long way from anything,” I told him. “Up ahead turn left and we’re fifteen or twenty minutes from Cancun. Turn right and you’ve got a batch of sixty miles of nothing. So who are we seeing, where is he and how do we get in touch.”
—Travis McGee
from THE LONELY SILVER RAIN.
