Music Appreciation

I’m a couple years behind you (?), but I love that hearing this song takes you to a place you once were and how you felt in the moment!! (I do not, sadly, recall when I first heard it, probably 3, 4? years later)

Which reminds ME of a very specific moment in *gym class*, 1967 — one of us brought in a portable record player, apparently, and a song called “Funky Broadway” (still love that song and Wilson Pickett!!) —- now I don’t know how, but one of my friends knew how to do that dance — you just kind of bend over and bring your arms up together in time to the best, BOOM! And that’s pretty much how I danced from then on out!

I grew a quick dislike of “music videos” when they showed up, because to me, that robbed listeners of that first moment they ever heard a song —- the big tunes of the ‘60s and ‘70s, if I hear one, I usually go right to an exact memory of where I was when I first heard it (magic moments!) —— videos, to me, replaced those very personal memories with artificial images and ideas that took away from people’s deep connections to music —

I’m just sayin!!!
