For my truckbuddy Frank, who reminded me of it: The 1927 poem by American author Max Ehrmann, as spoken by Les Crane on the 1971 Grammy-winning recording, which your Head Trucker used to own.
Note to the younger generations: The visuals in the above video are of recent date. There were, of course, no music videos in 1971, nor any VCR's or home computers or Internet. You listened to the radio, you listened to records, and you made up pictures in your head. Once in while, if you happened to be sitting in front of the TV set, watching a particular show at a particular time, you might get to see a song performed; but you never saw that episode again, not ever.
Believe it or not, children, that's just the way it was, and we all thought it was wonderful. You don't miss what you never had.
