I’m Into Something Good (finally)

+ Chit-Chat Check-In #82: Susie’s Favorite Song Ever, Maybe

Audio transcript

If you’ve read my most recent book, there’s a chapter about the song “I’m Into Something Good” by Herman’s Hermits (maybe Susie’s favorite song of all time) and the running joke that I’ve never really learned how to play it, even though she gets comically furious about the whole thing.

Well, I finally learned how to play it, and you can hear it below. I shared the song with Susie, who said, “One teeny wrong note! ‘Thing’ in ‘something’ is wrong. But totally ok and it sounds great!!”

And I’ll respond by saying to all of you ... find someone who you can count on to tell you the truth, I feel bad for people that don’t have that.
