Freaky Stuff

Back when I moved from Montreal to Toronto Invited some old friends for a visit They were leaving Montreal early in the morning Their arrival, I sure didn't want to miss it Left work at three travelling north to the highway As I entered the onramp I heard This annoying, obnoxious blowing of a horn Who was this damn joker, this nerd Surely could have knocked me over with a feather For there among the gas fumes and chrome Were my dear old friends, laughing and shouting They let me in and followed me home Timing had to be totally bang on the money The freakiest of happenings, bar none Some things in life are totally mind bending And this most assuredly was one Though many long years have since past and gone Each time I relate this tale Sends chills up and down this old spine of mine And my bodily functions set sail © Jack Ellison 2012 “True story...”

This happened back in '79 and it still freaks me out! My friends left Montreal (365 miles away) early in the morning and I left the studio at 3:00 and to meet on Hwy 401 at exactly the right moment... now that is freaky!!! Big scary hugs, Jack
