Thread Name: Songs from Our Teens
Subject: RE: Songs from Our Teens
Hey Katlaughing, that easy chair is in "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere". One of my most memorable song moments was camping with my family and several others in 1965 (or so). I was a rebellious teen at the time and not responding to my parents earnest requests for me to sing a song at the campfire (makes me wonder why a brought my guitar, with that attitude...ah, to be fifteen again!) Finally, I pulled out the guitar and played, through clenched teeth (hard to sing that way) "The Times, They Are A-Changin'". My folks had never heard me sing THOSE songs before and no one requested another. Jeez, why do I share this? I look back at myself now and think "What an idiot". Some things about growing up are definitely for the best. Luckily, I had many years to make up for that jab at my parents, and when they each parted this world we were amazingly good friends!
