Good evening, all. Come on in and sit a spell. I'll put the kettle on and make us a pot of tea. I have some Tazo Rest tea. It's a lulling herbal infusion of rose petals, valerian root, and citrusy herbs. Says so, right on the box. It's funny, I've started drinking more tea over the last year or so. I really enjoy it quite a bit.
Today was a rather slow work day. Late this afternoon, pretty much everyone had left and there weren't too many people in today as it was (three day weekend, you know). So, I switched on the iPod and cranked up some great 70's and 80's tunes. Listening to that music sure took me back. Isn't it funny how music can do that to you. You hear a song and you remember on old flame or you associate it with a major event in your life. I had a little of that with the songs I was listening to. Some of them reminded me of the early days of MTV, you know, when it really was Music TeleVision. All those great music videos. One song in particular was "Come Dancing" by the Kinks. It is a favorite of mine, both the song and the video. The kid playing his tennis racket like a guitar is just so classic.
Anywho, as I was putting my stuff into my car and a tune came on that took me back to the early 70's. I smiled as I thought of my two BFFs back in the day, Christie Greenfield and Paulette Sage (now Christie Cooper and Paulette Johnson). We loved that song (at least in my memory we did). The song? Precious and Few. It's a bit sappy, but it has a catchy tune and the lyrics are fairly easy to remember.
I just love when a song takes you someplace nostalgic, full of warmth and friendship, don't you? And speaking of that, what about you? What songs take you back to someplace wonderful? What songs help you walk the back roads of your mind?
Well, that's all for this writing...thanks for coming...see you again, soon
Happy Sabbath. Sweet rest and sweet dreams.
