Springfield Station Thrift Shop Treasure
We found an old CD called Springfield Station Last Chance at the Church of the Redeemer Thrift Shop in Springfield, Pa. and we bought it as a gag gift for the price of a $1.
Then we listened to it. It was country music as good you can get.
All the songs but one were copyrighted 1999 by Lois K.T. Skiles, the group’s singer. The third in the lineup, Wrong Time, poignantly concerned a singer who had been living on the road for years playing to small crowds in small places and contained the lyrics:
People said I’d make it big, my name would be in lights
all I had to do was hit the time and place right
. . . but I guess it’s not meant to be.
So I’ll spend another year on the road
Where this story ends, nobody knows
How long must I wait?
Is it already too late
for the right time, right place?
The album inspired us to search the web and we could not find one mention of Springfield Station as it related to the group nor of the album Last Chance.
The only mention found of Lois K.T. Skiles concerned the 2011 supervisor race for Eden (Pa.) Township Supervisor which she lost to David G. Rineer, 58 votes to 49. Maybe that was her. The photo on the CD cover was of a steam locomotive from the Strasburg Railroad.
Anyway, Lois, where ever you are, you have at least one fan.
