Okay, I know Im going to probably embarrass him, but I earned the right to do that (right Ran? Lol). This song was a top 10 hit for the 5th Dimension written by my ex, Randy Mc Neill. I first met Randy in 1973 in L.A. at a small nightclub called The Point After. If I Could Reach You was playing all over the radio at that time and was also a song that whenever it came on, any people who were with me had to be quiet so I could listen without any distraction, I loved the song that much. Of course I didnt know who Randy was when we met in the club and it was even hard to hear what he was saying over the music when he walked up to me and started talking. WHAT?, I said (a very elegant reply to him, dont you think?) and he repeated equally as elegant, Are you a model or something? Or something. I answered. We ended up dancing and talking the rest of the evening. I found out he was a songwriter and he found out I was an actress and when the club started to close, he asked me if I would like to come to his loft apartment in the Pacific Palisades over looking the Pacific for a drink (as if I hadnt had enough). Is this guy for real? I was asking myself. He seemed normal, not at all the serial killer type, so I took my chances at 19 years old (drinking age was 18 back then friends) and I let him drive me to his Loft Apartment overlooking the Pacific, yeah right. Well you could have knocked me over with a feather when down to the Palisades we drove, the electric underground garage slid open, and in he drove into the garage of this beautiful building. Well, its too late now, kiddo I said to myself as the iron garage gate closed off my escape route. There was no where to go but into the elevator with this beautifully dressed handsome young man of 22 who said he was a songwriter. We reached the top floor of the building and he led me down the corridor, put the key in the door and opened up a whole new world for me. As I entered the apartment all I saw in the two story high great room was a absolutely beautiful baby grand piano and behind it, seen through the sliding glass doors, the Pacific Ocean. Well, he obviously does something and it probably does have to do with music. I said to myself as I stared at the baby grand. As promised, he offered me my drink and I asked him to play something on the piano. I might have said something like play me your most well known song. Expecting him to tell me that he really didnt have anything famous out yet, but it would happen any moment now!! Uhuh girls, you know what I mean? So he sat his very long Texas legs and very cute butt down at that baby grand piano and played thus for me. I dont remember anything else about that night.
