MUSIC MEMORIES-CAN TAKE YOU BACK!


     The other day at the Burg Grocery, I was listening to the Oldies that are piped in overhead. One song that was being played was from the late 1970's, Bachman Turner Overdrive, BTO, "Roll On Down The Highway."

      It is amazing how one song can take you back to a certain time and moment even. It was around 1978 and the concert was at Vet's Auditorium in Des Moines. My seats were balcony just right of the stage so I could see the action from the side. The group of guitarists were plugged in to their amplifiers in back of them and were constantly moving back and forth to the front of the stage. 

       They were also wearing tall platform shoes with bell-bottom or flared pants and wide collared shirts and long hair flowing. And, all the time singing "Takin Care Of Business" or "Roll On Down The Highway!" 

      It is funny how some songs can put you right there and some songs just take you back to just good memories over-all. Either way remember!  It's OK to go back as long as you don't stay there!
