"Green Eyed Lady" was written by Jerry Corbetta and Dave Riordan from the band Sugarloaf and was released in 1970. The band was originally known as Chocolate Hair,but changed their name to Sugarloaf after a mountain outside of Boulder,CO. They had another well known hit with "Don't Call us,We'll Call you. The sound of the touch-tone telephone was a practical joke at the expense of CBS records,which had just turned them down for a recording contract. The number dialed was an unlisted phone number for CBS records.
After yesterday's blog I decided I had to follow it with one devoted to my favorite color,green. The most popular saying to do with green would likely be green with envy,even without the saying green is associated with envy. Sure as God made little green apples is another well known one. I had never heard "a hedge between keeps friendship green" but is sounds a lot like "good fences make good neighbors". Having a green thumb is another well known saying (in other countries having green fingers) referring to the ability to grow plants well. "Being green around the gills" meaning looking ill. Getting the green light is fairly self explanatory. "The green eyed monster" the feeling of being jealous,(also what my mother called me as a kid!) The rub of the green,means having good luck.
