Time for the next track from the Jimmy & Me Revisited album, “Met Him on a Plane.” (Hope you liked the first one.) The song originally had a female pronoun in the title and was recorded by Jimmy Webb himself on his And So: On album, released in May 1971. It’s always been one of my favorites, probably because I had an experience very like this once myself (or twice). Of course, for me, the eyes weren’t feminine. But feel free to use your imagination, the way I’ve always done since the first time I heard this song…
Much aloha to Ann Doyle for her superb supporting vocals, as well as Robert Tye for his stellar guitar work and Danny Cox for driving us with the drums. For lyrics, notes, audio/video links and more, see https://creativemeasures.com/songs/met-him-on-a-plane/
