On 'Sing with the Four Roses Society': An Album Cover Story

The opening dialogue of the album spoken in an overly enthusiastic manner:

Anne: "...our guests are all assembled!"

Robert: "Well, then let the meeting of the Four Roses Society come to order!" 

Anne: "You break out the ice while I spin this platter!"

Robert: "Alrighty! Then we'll all break out in song!"

Harold had always been fun to have around, but when he became a dog he became the life of the party. Friends would fight over who would have Harold at their next gathering, plying him with tasty morsels in attempt to lure him into being their guest. More often than not, though, it wasn't the treats that lured him, but the likelihood that there would be a sing-along.

Accepting an invitation from Anne and Robert, Harold knew he would have a great time! While Harold's voice was never quite the same as it once was, it did have a certain charm that his friends couldn't resist after they'd had a few drinks and now that he was a dog he felt he could sing along with complete abandon. Really, as far as Harold was concerned, becoming a dog was one of the nicest things that could have happened to him!

On 'The Romance of Musical Bon Bons: Concert in Vienna': An Album Cover Story

Introducing a new series of posts to the blog that I'm referring to as "Album Cover Stories," in which I will write a brief and probably silly story inspired by record album covers in my collection! 

Jean and George were frightfully fond of going to the amusement park in Vienna. Every Saturday they would shellac and starch their hair in preparation for the gusty winds they would face on the ferris wheel and set out with joy in their hearts knowing that nary a hair would move as they rode through the sky. 

Following their ride--and with still perfect hair--they would make their way to a little cafe around the corner. Those who saw them there always commented on how in love they must be. However, little did they know that as Jean and George stared into one another's eyes they were each wishing the other would leave so there would be more room at the tiny table the waitress had deemed large enough to leave an entire tea service and dessert platter on.
