Subject: RE: Songs from Our Teens
High School? Kat's whole list, plus:

R&B version of Blue Moon, at the Y dances

Little Stevie Wonder at the summertime firehouse dances

"Meet the Beatles" at a slumber party when I was ... 14

anything my Tri Hi Y club sang; we creamed 'em at the annual glee club contest. (I mean, we were GOOD)

Janis Joplin, listened to late at night on the family stereo, when I would creep out of my room and tune in to the Philly rock station

"Damn foolish world' at church youth group campouts; largely unbeknownst to the adults, us closet malcontent freaks had taken it over -- us'ns who had compulsory attendance. they foolishly let us pick out own hymnal and we picked a Baptist one, and roared 'em out tongue firmly in cheek.

The original "Old Time Religion" played in same youth group for us by a hip youth minister (read: slave labor theology student in for the weekend) who invited comment. (same one who introduced us to Bill Cosby's "Noah" routine -- back when Bill was funny)

enough! argh!
