READ SOME OF YOUR COMMENTS
We had many comments last week. Here's a few. Please visit our blog to read more.
Rori Raye on guest blogger's Annie Vanderbilt's post, "Flo's Girls & The Meaning of Love":
David C Bruce on Teri's wonderful post on "The Soundtrack of my Childhood": "I am a lawyer in the inner-city
Boston criminal courts and one of the things that I find relaxing is to
listen to oldies. Not "recent" oldies, but going back to 1958-59-60. I
distinctly remember that when I was in the 8th grade in Bakersfield
Calif, I heard on the radio a song released by a Los Angeles group
called The Safaris. This was May of 1960 and I remember the sound of
the song, the clock ticking in the background, like it was yesterday.
This was one of the best songs I had ever heard and even now, it is in
my top all-time five oldies songs. To hear of the passing of your dad
was very sad indeed. The Safaris could have gone on to bigger and
better things but the record companies back then took such advantage of
singing groups that most disbanded rather than endure the abuse. But
Image of A Girl remains with me as if they released it the other day.
It is one of those timeless songs. People nowadays say, well, how could
you like songs from way back then? Well, way back then, at the time,
was the present. May of 1960, then, was our present, so we liked the
music that came from those years. The Safaris were unique."
Valerie Baxter comments on Vicky's post, "What Would You Take With You?": "Wow, that's a tough question, but
I think my keys so I could get the heck into my car and away from the
burning building! As I'm getting older I'm realizing that material
things really aren't all that important. It's nice to have things, but
stuff can always be replaced whereas memories stay with you forever."
