I went with choices, not so much of songs I loved, but that the memory seems strong in my childhood.
Day 16: Capriccio Italien / Tchaikovsky
The prompt is not specific as "classical" favorites but so many other days catch classic rock, classic soul, etc. I fell in love with this piece -- and Tchaikovsky in general -- while learning it for the New Mexico High School All-State Orchestra in 1983 or 84.
Day 14: Con Te Partirò / Andrea Bocelli
Alec escorted Sasha down the aisle to this one. They looked so good. Darn you, Facebook, now you're making me cry.
Day 12: Night Chicago Died / Paperlace
Sometime around 1973-74, my parents gave me an old hand-me-down mono record player. One of my best friends at the time -- wonder what happened to Chad -- turned me on to this song. I got an LP called Dynamite which was one of the first compilation albums from K-Tel. Remember them? "The Night Chicago Died" and others from that album were my first exposures to Pop and Rock.
Book of Questions #4: If you could spend one year...
“If you could spend one year in perfect happiness but afterward would remember nothing of the experience would you do so? If not, why not?”
Sure. I'm up for any amount of time in perfect happiness... or even imperfect. Bring it on. I'm not bothered if I won't be able to remember it later. I even promise not to ask questions.
