A Thought for Today
I have no quarrel with your lovers, only
admiration for their taste.
Dear Ken,
I want to thank you for "This One Does for Me" on Wednesdays.
Last week "No Loving Without Losing" from For Lovers, and today's "I think
of You." Both songs touch my heart in a very special way.
The next song of Rod should be "You Wonder why I Love You," Could you
print it one day for me when you have the time?
Thanks again.
Elsa Marie
Elsa Marie, you have a talent
for introducing me to previously unknown pieces of Rod's work. Unknown by
me, that is.
I don't have the album that
this particular piece is taken from and after reading some of the words so
kindly supplied by Jay Hagan, I'm really devastated that it's taken me so
long to discover "For Lovers".
I particularly like the
understated introduction in the liner notes:
For Lovers
Music by Anita Kerr / Words by Rod McKuen
The San Sebastian Strings
America’s foremost poet and the first lady of music, Rod McKuen & Anita
Kerr, present the newest in a series of albums unparalleled in modern

Short, sweet and oh, so true!
Thanks for your letter, Elsa Marie, and long may you continue my McKuen
education.
The address for your
contributions is kenb@mckuen.com and
I look forward to hearing more of your McKuen stories sometime soon.
