In SW FLorida, we were just informed of a Tornado watch from Naples all the way up the West Coast of FL from approximately 11PM until about 3:45 PM Friday morning Worse for our area as the storm picks up intensity out in the Gulf of Mexico... This band of storms started out in Mexico, believe it or not... ANyway, I am adding a few songs to my Music Interlude for this Thursday Evening... The first is a classic from non-other than Peter Frampton titled "Show Me The Way", which has received nearly 18 million views on YouTube... I hope you all enjoy it!!!
LYRICS:
"Show Me The Way" By Peter Frampton
I wonder how you're feeling
There's ringing in my ears
And no one to relate to 'cept the sea
Who can I believe in?
I'm kneeling on the floor
There has to be a force
Who do I phone?
The stars are out and shining
But all I really want to know
Oh won't you show me the way, every day
I want you to show me the way, yeah
Well, I can see no reason
You're living on your nerves
When someone drops a cup and I submerge
I'm swimming in a circle
I feel I'm going down
There has to be a fool to play my part
Someone thought of healing
But all I really want to know
Oh won't you show me the way, every day
I want you to show me the way, oh
I want you day after day, yeah
Yeah, I wonder if I'm dreaming
I feel so unashamed
I can't believe this is happening to me
I watch you when you're sleeping
And then I want to take your love
Oh won't you show me the way, every day
I want you to show me the way, one more time
I want you day after day, yeah
I want you day after day, hey
I want you to show me the way, every day
I want you to show me the way, night and day
I want you day after day

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Peter Frampton performing Show Me The Way (Live Midnight Special 1975).
I saw him perform this song live at Eisenhower hall Theater at West Point, New York while I was a cadet. He performed on January 1, 1977.
I well remember him from Humble Pie
background "In this song, Frampton is a drowning man looking for someone to throw him a life preserver. The lyric is rather vague, but it's clear he is seeking guidance, asking another to "show him the way."
The lyric could relate to a specific person or to a higher power; Frampton kept it universal on purpose, but he did have a specific inspiration in mind. "I just met somebody that gave me such confidence," he told Melody Maker in 1976. "My life is completely changed. All the lyrics in that song are about me and her."
The original studio version of this song was released on the 1975 album Frampton, Peter's fourth. At the time, he had a modest following and was building a reputation as a stellar live performer. What he didn't have was a hit.
Frampton's label, A&M, had him compile a live album for his next release. He put one together with six songs - none of which were "Show Me The Way" - and played it for his label boss, Jerry Moss, who asked, "Where's the rest of it?"
With the go-ahead to make it a double album, Frampton included "Show Me The Way." Frampton Comes Alive was released in January 1976; by April, it sold a million copies in America."
The set list was something like:
"All I Wanna Be (Is by Your Side)"
"Penny for Your Thoughts"
"Baby
I Love Your Way"
"Baby (Somethin's Happening)"
"Doobie Wah"
"Show Me the Way"
"Do You Feel Like We Do"
"I'm In You"
