Love is in the air...

Do you have a song or a fragrance that brings back a memory for you? I can go back in time by listening to any number of songs and tell you just what I was doing when it was popular. I was dating a guy who was cheating on me when "Hanky Panky" by Tommy James and the Shondells came out. I was in the Marine Corps when the Boxtops were singing "The Letter". And James Taylor was singing "Fire and Rain" when I got the phone call that my step-father died during heart surgery. There are many more songs that are attached to memories but those three evoke the strongest feelings. Hanky Panky still makes me mad and it was more than 40 years ago. The Letter makes me homesick. And I can't listen to Fire and Rain without a huge lump in my throat. Music has played a big role in my life. I fluctuate between 60's rock and country and 40's music. My husband and I are very diverse in our tastes, we have classical, celtic, 40's, 50's (does anyone remember Jimmie Rodgers and "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine"?), 60's (The Turtles, The Kinks, the Rolling Stones), showtunes, bluegrass, and soundtracks (A Knight's Tale and Dirty Dancing come to mind).

    I've loved all of your comments - especially the ones that take you back in time. "It's all in the Game" was a great song, one of those great serenade songs from the 50's. I had it on a 45 (and that dates me).
