Darn it Fenway, you made me break my long streak of silence. The last time I posted at this site was 16 or 17 years ago. I had just purchased a copy of A Fine Mess on Ebay for $150, well above the initial bid price of $20. After I won the auction, there was some chatter on this board about how the seller had turned $20 into $150, since everyone was surprised how high in price the album sold. I felt at that time that I should identify myself, so I did. After my purchase, for a long time A Fine Mess was selling for a pretty high price on Ebay. I guess for a while a set a trend.

Anyway, I saw your post about Young Anymore. There are two Baerwald songs that I would say are in my top 100 songs during my life. Young Anymore is one of them. I have listened to the song a countless number of times in the last 20 years or so. Actually, I am listing to it now.

I own just about every Baerwald album. One of the albums is called "David Baerwald Introduces Bedtime Stores". In this album, he explains every song before the song is played. Since you were wondering what the song was about, I quoted Baerwald below on the background of the song. I hope you enjoy.

"I saw this guy, he's at a ballet academy near where I live. And I saw this scene. And I just made the story up based on it. I don't know what it was, but there's this guy, you know, kinda over dressed in an expensive overcoat, you know, uh, looking in the window at this ballet class and there's all these little girls in there. And, uh, and he was, it's a corner building. And he was on one corner. And on the other corner, there was a woman sitting in a car, uh, she was sitting in a car, uh, smoking cigarettes and reading the paper and obviously waiting for one the kids to come out from ballet class. And I just thought that this guy was her ex-husband and he had done something terrible (short laugh) and uh, and they had a kid together and she was a little ballerina. And he was watching her and trying not to be seen by his ex-wife at the same time. You know, just this kind of lonely guy, you know, just looking at the kid."
