Ferris Wheel

Went to the local county fair with wife and 2 daughters (5 yr and 3 yr) last night and rode the big ferris wheel with them, while singing "Ferris Wheel Lights on". Haven't been on a ferris wheel in 10 + years, but of course, the only reason I did last night was b/c of Gaslight. And now that's my thing with my daughters--we will ride the Ferris Wheel whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Am I the only one to do this?

Your local county fair is a wonderful slice of Americana, love it.

Haha, dang, I haven't even been around a ferris wheel for years (patient or otherwise). I'm hopin to go to the TX state fair this year though, so I'll be sure to try! And of course, I'll be singin the whole time

That does sound like fun!

Next time i go to a fair im doing that

But what is a "Patient" Ferris Wheel?

IDK, ask track 7 of The 59 Sound!

No proper Ferris Wheels near me, unfortunately.

Not too sure - just assumed boy was missing girl and was "impatient" to get her back (or find another) but the never changing ferris wheel in the background was not in a rush and was quite happy to sit waiting.

Probably not right but that was my assumption!

yeah, i always thought of it as like he's always rushing, waiting and restless for something to happen, but the ferris wheel's content to just quietly and patiently turn

Maybe it's patient in that it's not going to disappear, so whenever they get around to riding it, the wheel will still be there.

ahh all of those explanations make sense, thanks

yeah... I've done it.

what a cute picture. you can tell shes busy checkin it all out

i may just go and ride the london eye! not quite the same thing but the closest we've got in london! that's very patient, takes 30min to go round once!

Awesome Pic E7C...good stuff.
