I know our loved ones can't support us all the time, in everything we do... sometimes it's just us against the world, proving that we WANT what we want, but it's nice to have a cool accountant's support when it matters and be able to go back to that beach when it seems tough.<br /><br />You were right to follow the music. It gives other people inspiration to go after THEIR dreams.Terry Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16543019001926276394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061588009611910262.post-19505319919848092582011-02-06T22:03:23.604-08:002011-02-06T22:03:23.604-08:00This is a big category for me.

I appreciate all that you share of yourself with your fans.<br />Mine would be 'The Letterman' catalog-the first concert my husband and I went to together was The Letterman in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. We also liked "Young Girl" by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. This was in the early 70's.<br />I am really having fun doing this song challenge.

Since married couples start to take on each other's qualities, I'll assume that Dave now sings more freely and you can do your own taxes:-)<br />In terms of the song challenge: In college, us Communications majors used to do a magazine-format TV show that aired on public access. Every May for the last show of the school year, we would have the whole crew come onto the set to goof around and wave as the credits rolled. It was my job to pick the songs we used for that segment so I always chose something about remembering how great those times together were. The songs we used and that remind me of those days are Rod Stewart's "Forever Young," 10,000 Maniacs "These Are Days," Billy Joel's "This is the Time," and Glenn Frey's "You're a Part of Me, I'm a Part of You." Happily, these memories exist on video tape so I can go back and reminisce once in a while.Tony Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107595099012134607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061588009611910262.post-56915522051828480462011-02-01T07:26:34.892-08:002011-02-01T07:26:34.892-08:00What a beautiful story!What a beautiful story!michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608192714089939668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061588009611910262.post-77525053439300808632011-02-01T07:12:42.448-08:002011-02-01T07:12:42.448-08:00Two songs, same person:

We used to go to oldies concerts in NYC and we saw Rudy West and The Five Keys and for weeks after, every time I spoke to her or saw her, I would start off by singing the opening lines. To this day it reminds me of her every time I hear it. She now lives in Arizona and even though I speak to her almost every day, it just isn't the same as seeing her regularly.nycbut4uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05575550449675703979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061588009611910262.post-26528991450473295162011-02-01T04:56:02.572-08:002011-02-01T04:56:02.572-08:00“Wild Thing” by the Troggs.

He sang lead and played the electric guitar along with his mocked up band of friends that included my younger son on Drums. At times he actually played the guitar with riffs behind his back (watched too much Stevie Ray Vaughan). It was a very memorable occasion as his bride swooned over him like a rock groupie.jim_fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328349474531025316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061588009611910262.post-14837821246912670022011-02-01T01:25:55.754-08:002011-02-01T01:25:55.754-08:00Brooke, what a beautiful story...
