Enjoy : Just the two of us by Bill Withers

I see the crystal raindrops fall

And the beauty of it all

Is when the sun comes shining through

To make those rainbows in my mind

When I think of you sometime

And I want to spend some time with you

Just the two of us

We can make it if we try

Just the two of us

Just the two of us

Building castles in the sky

Just the two of us

You and I

We look for love no time for tears

Wasted water's all that is

And it don't make no flowers grow

Good things might come to those who wait

Not for those who wait too late

We gotta go for all we know

Just the two of us

We can make it if we try

Just the two of us

Just the two of us

Building castles in the sky

Just the two of us

You and I

I hear the crystal raindrops fall

On the window down the hall

And it becomes the morning dew

And darling when the morning comes

And I see the morning sun

I want to be the one with you.

Watson Family History

Thomas Watson (born 1798, died 1875) and Jane Collier (born 1807, died 1896) were raised in County Armagh, Ireland, and came to Canada in early 1843. Their son, from whom we are descended, was William Watson, who was sixteen when the family emigrated. William’s brother, Richard, and his sister, Rachel, were older.

The family first settled in Gananoque, and came later to Reading Corner, where they farmed on the fourteenth line, lot six. Richard Watson had a son named Nelson, who died young, and a daughter named Jane, who lived in the Okanogan Valley in British Columbia. Rachel married John Byrne of Hillsburg, who owned a carriage works. The Byrnes had sons: William and John, who remined bachelors.

William, married Sarah Jane Donaldson, a young widow (Mrs. J. Moody) with a daughter: Sarah Jane Moody, who married George Lindsay in 1886, having met him in Cookstown while visiting her father's family.

The Lindsays had one son, William Donaldson Lindsay., born August 11, 1886. They first lived in London, Ontario; then moved to Kendries, Idaho, and finally settled near Los Angeles, California.

My great grandfather, Thomas Watson, was next in this family.

He married Adeline East, and had two children, Hazel and Bill (my grandfather).

After Thomas came James Donaldson Watson (1872-1944). He married Belle McGee (1880-1958). They had two sons: James Ivan and Glen.

Next came Rachel (1874-1952). On March 6, 1895, she married John Scott at her home in Reading Garafraxa. They had four sons: Thomas Howard, Cecil, George and James

Next in the Watson Family was William George, (1880-1943). His wife was Mabel Patterson (1880). Their daughter was Sarlizabeth.

The youngest of the family was Letitia (1887-1931) In 1910, she married Russell Thurston. The children were: Donaldson, Donna, Robert Russell, Pauline, Roland, Bernice, Mel and Pat.

William Watson’s wife, Jane Collier Watson, was one of six sisters and one brother (Robert). Three of the Collier sisters were: Mrs. William Manley (Shelburne area), Mrs. Henderson and Mrs. Leeson. Two young Leeson boys were drowned one Christmas day when they broke through the ice while sliding and skating.

David William Sanborn (born July 30, 1945) is an American alto saxophonist. Though Sanborn has worked in many genres, his solo recordings typically blend jazz with instrumental pop and R&B. He released his first solo album Taking Off in 1975, but has been playing the saxophone since before he was in high school.

One of the most commercially successful American saxophonists to earn prominence since the 1980s, Sanborn is described by critic Scott Yannow as "the most influential saxophonist on pop, R&B, and crossover players of the past 20 years." He is often identified with radio-friendly smooth jazz, but he has expressed a disinclination for the genre and his association with it.
