Hey, good news in my Inbox today. Northern Exposure is coming out on DVD on May 25! This was one of the few shows I would actually stay home to watch when it was originally aired.
[montyburns] Excellent. [/montyburns]
One of the fun things about the internet is that ramblings of old are still available for all eyes to see. Here is a rant I put on the 'net about Northern Exposure almost 10 years ago. Classic jtl.
Today we have an old (1963) R&B number from Barbara Lewis (later covered by Yvonne Elliman, whose version just came across my MP3 player). Nice and mellow...

Hello Stranger
(Barbara Lewis)
(shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(shoo-bop, shoo-bop)
Hello, stranger
(ooh) It seems so good to see you back again
How long has it been?
(ooh, seems like a mighty long time)
(shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby, ooh)
It seems like a mighty long time
Oh-uh-oh, I my, my, my, my
I'm so glad
You stopped by to say "hello" to me
Remember that's the way it used to be
Ooh, it seems like a mighty long time
(shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby, ooh)
It seems like a mighty long time
Oh-ahh-uh-oh
If you're not gonna stay
(ooh) Please don't treat me like you did before
Because I still love you so a-a-although
It seems like a mighty long time
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby, ooh
It seems like a mighty long time
