I was just listening to the radio and I heard "Toy Soldier" and it reminded me of a detassling corn in Nebraska one summer and how we'd all be singing it at the top of our lungs as it was blaring on the radio. When we'd lose radio antenna (from being to far into the field)we'd sing it acapella. What a riot that was. We thought we were cool.

Every time I hear "99 Red Balloons", I keep remembering how the class president wanted it to be our prom theme song.

Yellow Submarine! It was my 16th birthday, and had just gotten the album (Album! Remember those!) from my boyfriend. It was such a happy song and a happy time...right before Viet Nam would become large in our lives.

Dream, Dream, Dream, by the Everly Brothers. First time I ever slow-danced with a boy, a gazillion years ago.

We are the Champions, by Queen (Night at the Opera)
Our school played it at pep rallies.

Hotel California .. we'd sing it loudly as we drove down Ft. Lauderdale beach during spring break. Everyone knew all the words.

Stairway to Heaven .. the early days with my hubby/boyfriend.

My favorite song for years was, Dust in the Wind. I just loved it when I was younger.

And anything from Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Also a reminder of my youth.

Brick House.

I remember in elementary school when we had to write stories for english, all the boys would write how they would be "Kung Foo Fighting" to get out of danger and to save The "Brick House."

Twiggyish,
Dust in the Wind was our high school graduation song. I thought it was a terrible song to represent our senior year, but we all loved it.

Once Bitten Twice Shy was my favorite song in Jr High.

Our class song was "Live for Today" by the Grass Roots. That is a strange motto for a graduating class!! That was in the early 70's.

Sugar Pie, Honey by the Four Tops

When I hear it I can almost feel the gentle breeze off the lake and sand between my toes. It was my first summer to drive a car and I spent many evenings hanging out with my friends on the beach watching the sun set.

I'm outta here! I live within 15 minutes of a large lake and no other plans for the night.
Ah...Life is good!

Have a good evening everyone!

Whowhere! Another "Parrot Head?" How cool for you! He's one man that definitely knows how "to do" a concert!!

"Come Monday" by Buffet...song playing on a particularly bad weekend in So. CA...1982. Can't hear that song without the memories.

"Celebrate" good times...my snow skiing group's theme song! All in our class got "A" in "barmanship!"

"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas--actually, 'most anything else by them; I listened to a lot of Peter, Paul and Mary way back when I was very young; anything by Jim Reeves; "Drive" by The Cars; Ronnie Milsap's "It Was Almost Like a Song" reminds me of a good friend who was tragically killed by a mutual friend shortly after we graduated from high school; any song for which I own (and can play) the piano sheet music recalls times/events in my life; hits from Earth, Wind & Fire; Little River Band; REO Speedwagon; Bachman Turner Overdrive; Black Sabbath; um, gee, every song I hear brings back memories of some sort, LOL!
