It\u2019s not a children\u2019s song.  <\/p>\n<p>ok, wait, i just looked at the photo of my new (old) record and in the upper right hand corner it says &#8220;45 RPM.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RPM!  RPM!  how FAST it goes around, you moron!<\/p>\n<p>rpm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;winchester cathedral&#8221; is by a group called the &#8220;new vaudeville band,&#8221; and the record is from the 60\u2019s.  my parents had it, and i listened to that song a lot.  it disappeared many years ago, but my brother found one on ebay a while ago and my mom gave it to me, so i can listen to it whenever i want.<\/p>\n<p>do you recall that i don\u2019t know much about any music?  because if i have it on, i forget to keep listening to it.  i mean, i really really try to keep listening, but my mind gets caught up with other things.  and then after a while i realize the music stopped long ago, or it\u2019s on repeat and i\u2019ve heard it two million times.<\/p>\n<p>retarded, i know.  i can\u2019t help it.<\/p>\n<p>but so what do i love?  we have lost two little elephants.  winchester cathedral.  &#8220;winchester cathedral, you\u2019re breaking me down, you stood and you watched and&#8230;my baby left town.&#8221;  here\u2019s a good idea &#8211; i should sing a few more songs and put a new one up on the site every week.  how hard could it be?  <\/p>\n<p>because there are many songs out there.<\/p>\n<p>or so they tell me.<\/p>\n<p>i have exactly six minutes to make it to bed by midnight.  will i succeed in this seemingly unattainble goal?  <\/p>\n<p>doubtful.<\/p>\n<p>but at least close.<\/p>\n<p>ok then, goodnight,<\/p>\n<p>grace almost to friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>so i actually looked at the description of the item i purchased today. it\u2019s a 7&#8243; record, so isn\u2019t that a 45? so what does the 45 MEAN? i\u2019m sure it\u2019s very obvious. and on the A side is &#8220;we have lost two little elephants&#8221; and on the B side is &#8220;the big grey elephant [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6JLYy-82","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
