Over the years music has become a good friend. I have moved from country, to rock, to pop, to jazz, back to country, to big band, to... well you get the idea. My music collection ranges from Hank Williams to Henry Mancini, Frank Sinatra to Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd to Floyd Kramer, and Glen Campbell to Glen Miller.
But no matter where I am, there are certain songs that remind me of home. (In no order)
Old Days - Chicago
Country Roads - John Denver
Old Tennessee - Dan Fogleburg
Please Come to Boston - Dave Loggins (You know the chorus, I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee)
I Want to Make It With You - Bread (Only because I had a crush, or should I say the hots, for a certain to-remain-unnamed young lady when we graduated and it still reminds me of her)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Theme - Ennio Morricone (Reminds me of 5 or 6 of us cramming into Larry Lankford's VW and driving around)
Time We Have Wasted on the Way - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
In My Life - Judy Collins
Good Ol' Boys Like Me - Don Williams
Almost Home - Craig Morton (relatively new song, but still reminds me of home)
Love Is Blue - Paul Mauriat
Aquarius / Let the Sunshine - The Fifth Dimension (because a group came down from another high school for one of our assemblies and performed this. There was this girl out in front of the group dancing to this, and I can still close my eyes and see her.)
What songs remind you of high school. We know which one Brenda liked. :)
