Very big during my high school romance days with my first true love. Sadly, I learned a couple years back, via a contact I made with her daughter on our high school's alumni association page, that my sweetheart had died of cancer in 2002. I can't listen to any of those songs now, even after all this time. I just change the station.QuakerDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357878445087995583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-39027264350120171232011-08-17T23:33:49.597-04:002011-08-17T23:33:49.597-04:00"Baby I Love Your Way."

My high school pals thought they should fix me up with Don. <br />I was tall, he was tall, that should have worked out, right?<br />Well it turns out Don did not like me because I was a little overweight. He never bothered to call. <br />About a year later, I had a knee surgery & lost a bunch of weight. He saw me again & thought I was *hot*, and was then interested in me. <br />Yea well screw him! I was hot & Don was not. <br />Would have told him to kiss my ass, but he had no access pass!<br /><br />I had been largely unlucky in love, went through lots of "frogs", till I met my prince. <br />Two kids later & about to celebrate 24 years of marriage, he is a gem of a guy, AND he puts up with me. Perhaps eligible for sainthood?<br /><br />Grateful Dead~ Not Fade Away<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkI50SnewOE&feature=relatedFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-5707864619659520102011-08-15T23:09:36.011-04:002011-08-15T23:09:36.011-04:00I think of The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, and my firs...I think of The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, and my first boyfriend, the security guard at Sears, who always wore a plain white tee-shirt and a well-filled-out pair of faded Levis. <br /><br />Oh, Ron.

Rick Ocasek was one of the sexiest nerds I've ever laid eyes on and New England was a great place to see the Cars as well as Blondie , Cyndi Lauper and many more. Thought I'd never see the Kinks but we did several times. The Ramones too - first in NYC at CBGB's (because nobody went there early on you could get a seat). Didn't you fall in love to any of their songs?<br /><br />However, I'm a little older than you and I'd have to leave a very long comment if I wanted to list the related band memories to early loves but here are a few favorites songs. <br /><br />The Supremes - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23UkIkwy5ZM" rel="nofollow">baby love</a> <br /><br />Booker T. and the MG's - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLfQ9SIRPP0&feature=related" rel="nofollow">green onions</a> <br /><br />Ray Charles - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAjeSS3kktA" rel="nofollow">what'd I say?</a><br /><br />Dion and the Belmonts - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c49klxPex-k" rel="nofollow">runaround sue</a><br /><br />Good luck with the Skype interview.<br /><br />Sorry about the re-post but I'd flubbed a link - getting older ain't all great :-)susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-78883491594530632092011-08-15T15:01:35.949-04:002011-08-15T15:01:35.949-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-10342270325015876322011-08-15T14:05:55.029-04:002011-08-15T14:05:55.029-04:00First, I gotta ask - whose bottom was muddy and wh...First, I gotta ask - whose bottom was muddy and why were they playing with it?<br /><br />"Waiting for a girl like you" - I know, I know, but Holly and I kissed for the first time dancing to that song and she was a first in a lot of ways . . .<br /><br />"Rocket Man" because Cecilia loved Elton John and the Monkees. Had she been in a slightly different mood, I might associate "Daydream Believer" or "Last Train to Clarksville" with my First Time.<br /><br />I was on a Julia Fordham kick in the early 90's, so for me and Kim, it was "Your Lovely Face" and it was so true.<br /><br />Funny enough, my wife and I don't have "a" song, although that really sappy "I'll Still Be Loving You" by Restless Heart is true, as much as I hate to admit it.<br /><br />I wish sometimes I had a better soundtrack . . .Geoffrey Kruse-Saffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11242660591954094499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-24451786431865661572011-08-15T10:49:32.886-04:002011-08-15T10:49:32.886-04:00Lost love / a love that never was: Kate Bush - Hel...Lost love / a love that never was: Kate Bush - Hello Earth.
