True story about a friend I used to work with. She was actually my boss and she loved ping pong. We found a couple bars that had ping pong and used to go to them once in a while. On my 40th birthday I rented a ping pong table and we played into the wee hours, not keeping score just keeping the ball moving.
Not a perfect take but here it is.
She Used To Say Written by: Phil Kane (2020) Once upon a time, once upon a time She used to say Tell me a story, tell me a tale It doesn't have to be true Just tell me a story Tell me a story So I told her stories I told her stories, my stories Not all of them true But they all started Once upon a time, once upon a time I'm sharing with you One of my stories, this is one of my stories It just happens to be true This is one of my stories One of my stories We used to play Gin rummy, and we drank The shnip du jour And then she would say, tell me a story So I would And it would start Once upon a time, once upon a time She used to say Tell me a story, tell me a tale It doesn't have to be true Just tell me a story Tell me a story We lost touch Years ago, and then someone told me That she passed on And I thought, of the untold stories And her story And her life Once upon a time, once upon a time

It’s a wonderful memory and a wonderful gift. ❤️
Thanks, sweetie.
So many untold stories…that’s one of the hardest things about when someone passes. I wonder what stories they take with them.
Well a lot of my untold stories are being told here in song, and when I’m gone they will be gone. Although I did send some songs years ago to the library of congress so those will still be around. I might have to do that again.
