My roomate at BYU in the 90's turned me on to James and other fun 70's music. Love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-84076622050600999962011-06-17T22:46:52.508-07:002011-06-17T22:46:52.508-07:00Growing up in L.A. county we went to many concerts...Growing up in L.A. county we went to many concerts. One of my favorites was when I was 16 and saw James Taylor and Carole King together. They sang "You've Got a Friend".

Thank y...WHAT A WONDERFUL TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE!!! Thank you so much, Donna! I have similar memories. "Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen raaaain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end...."<br /><br />And of course, Carole King.. "You've got a friend..."<br /><br />When I was in high school my high school band went to Europe. Several of the other flute section and I walked down the streets of Amsterdam singing "..kickin' down the cobble stones, feelin' groovy!" We thought we were so cool.<br /><br />And I was a huge Barbra Streisand fan.. "The way we were...."<br /><br />I saw Chicago in concert. I always said that Terry Kath was my cousin. (My maiden name was Kath). <br /><br />Anyone else a Seals and Crofts fan? "Summer breeze, makes me feel fine. Blowin' with the jasmine in my mind..."<br /><br />I too, went to a Fleetwood Mac concert, with the man who is now my husband of 30 years. I loved Stevie Nick's flowing gowns as she swished around the stage and crooned.<br /><br />"Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you. It's late September and I really should be back at school..." That has my driving in my parents Pontiac station wagon. We had that song on an 8-track. Gosh. Love the memories.<br /><br />I have always felt that my life has had a soundtrack. Like you, the songs always take me back to a place and time.<br /><br />Thanks for a wonderful gift this morning, Donna. You are amazing.Nighmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03187359708050361314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-71801201936024133362010-06-08T05:14:05.847-07:002010-06-08T05:14:05.847-07:00Class of 77 here.
