Kids in bed. Husband in bed. Pandora and earphones plugged in to keep me company while I sit, enjoying the solitude, candles burning, a glass of wine at my side. As I listen to my tunes. each song opens up the doors to incredible memories.
I can even smell the shea butter, thick on my body, while I float on my air mattress on Whiskeytown Lake with a bottle of Gallo wine or Almaden French Colombard tied to a ten foot rope floating in the cold water under my cheap flotation device.
Music is a marvelous gift for the soul. It reminds me of a Saturday evening, a long time ago, when I listened to some good tunes and tried to think of who sang what and who sang it the best. I thought I would share it, just in case you want to trip down memory lane during the Jurassic Period.
"Saturday Night and I ain't got nobody...."
I hope you enjoy and it brings back some good times for you.
Sing it, sweet Sam!
Were those brothers delicious or what?
"Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go."
What is your favorite oldie but goodie? When is the last time you listened to it? When is the last time you danced to it (even if it was just a pillow or your puppy as your dance partner?

"Music is a marvelous gift for the soul" Oh yes, it certainly is! Sounds like you had a wonderful night.
ReplyDeleteMost nights are pretty dang good but solitude is da bomb!
DeleteI love this memory ... I may have one quite like it ...

As for a favorite oldie, I have so many, but this morning I awoke with one playing in my head ... Linda Ronstadt, 'Hasten Down The Wind.'
Love it.
Forgot all about 'Hasten Down The Wind'. Good song; I even have the guitar music for it in some box somewhere in the garage! Time to bring out the guitar and some of that good ol' music.
DeleteSo tell us about your memory. What part is 'quite like' mine....the lake, the shea butter or the wine kept cool on the end of a rope?
I still regularly listen to my old collections of ABBA and Cat Stevens etc. Yes, I was a teenager in the early 70s!
ReplyDeleteCat Stevens, love him. I still have an album or two of his...no turntable but I've got some oldie but goodie vinyls!
DeleteThe 70's had some of the best music ever. I was in my twenties and raising 3 babies. We danced and sang every day.
Wow, you've picked some goodies here. I've got a lot of favs from back in the day so it would be hard to pick one.
ReplyDeleteThat's what is so good about music! You don't have to pick just one, you get to love them all! Each song has it's own memories!
