Wow! It's been a super long time since I posted.
I've been thinking about music a lot lately - how I hear a certain song and it ALWAYS, ALWAYS reminds me of a certain person, place or time.
"Beautiful Tonight" - Eric Clapton: June Garrett and Lynn Ingram at Henry Walke Co.
"Canon in D" - Pachelbel:- weddings
"There You'll Be" - Faith Hill: my dad and my son ("In my dreams, I'll always see you soar above the sky...") It always reminded me of my dad, then was our Mother/Son dance music at John's wedding.
"Touch Me in the Morning" - Diana Ross: Lisa Harrell in middle school
"Take On Me" - Aha: riding my exercycle in my first apartment watching the brand new MTV. (Okay, I'm showing my age here.)
"Spinning Wheel" - Three Dog Night and "Sweet Caroline" - Neil Diamond: my uncle's record store in Monroe, NC
"Islands in the Stream" - Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton: Roger Coffey playing it over and over in the house on Highland Street in Charlotte
Anything by The Police: Mark Barringer
"Leader of the Band" - Dan Fogelberg: my grandfather
Anything by Burl Ives: Lynn Hamilton
"No Surrender" - Bruce Springsteen and "Run Between the Raindrops" - Pat Benatar: Vyjay Vyas at Queens
"It's Raining Men" - The Weather Girls: the stripper at my 20th Birthday Party
There are so very many more. What songs take you back?
