My Many Interests

Friday, November 29, 2024

It's been over a year since I wrote anything and I got to thinking that I've been going about it all wrong. Instead of trying to write a huge long piece, just start throwing out little brain farts. Here's one.

A Facebook page asked the question: "Mention a memory of the first time you heard a particular song and went, “wow!” What was the song/circumstance?

My reply was this: I was about 12 and had received a transistor radio for Christmas. I would turn it on when I went to bed and fall asleep listening. Well, the rock station I listened to had a notorious penchant for playing Billy Thorpe's Children of the Sun or Gary Wright's Dreamweaver about 3am. I would always wake up when I heard the first few notes of either one and after the songs were over, I go back to sleep. I get nostalgic just thinking about it.
