Music makes great memories

Listening to the B52's singing The Love Shack.

That song was out when I was in fantastic shape, spent a winter skiing in Utah and Colorado. This was before mobile devices, so I used my Walkman to listen to this song while schussing beautifully at Park City and Vail.

"The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get toooogether!"

A wonderful skiing song, when I was on top of the world in every way.


Lay Down Sally

Another song that really tugs at the heart is Lay Down Sally from Eric Clapton's Slow Hand album. I was in love, very young, and while I didn't know it at the time, this song was the theme song of that love affair. 

There's something wonderful about being young and in love. You have no idea what can go wrong. You're high on all kinds of great body chemistry. The world is beautiful, we can do anything. 

The feeling doesn't seem to last, however you can call it up with all the great rushes and goosebumps just by listening to the right song.
