Friday Music Thread - Memory Lane

[fishing4sanity]

Music certainly has an ability to take you down memory lane. Yesterday I heard this song from 1985, the same year I was diagnosed with cancer. The song is about a couple parting ways by choice, so it didn't really fit our situation. However, one of the oft repeated lines stated, "no time is a good time for goodbye." This was a tough time for my wife and I, we had a daughter and a child on the way. Definitely not a time for saying goodbyes. The initial outlook had us wondering if I'd even find out if I had two daughters or a daughter and a son. Spoiler alert: I'm not typing from the other side, we went on to have four children and now eight grandchildren! When I hear this song it takes me back down Memory Lane.

So, what are some of your Memory Lane songs? They don't have to be old and traumatic. Maybe the song you heard just the other day after you loaded up your first pronghorn and headed home.

When I was a kid (back in The Ice Age), my dad would sing this when driving. Now, I do.

I remember singing "The Old Rugged Cross" with my grandmother. I also remember hearing John and June Cash sing it one time and enjoyed it.

Would it be possible for one of you gentlemen to find John and June singing the Old Rugged Cross and post it up for me as my contribution to this week's music thread

Thank you

Here you go, Europe.

Never would have pegged Charles for a DM fan.

Tears For Fears' Songs from the Big Chair was one of the first albums I ever bought. Hearing it always takes me back to the 4th street house in Casper, WY, thinking how I was almost grown up now.

Ben, I like the first album concept. Except, I don't know for sure what that first album was. I believe it was probably this one....

They played a lot of Johnny Cash over the loud speaker at the swimming pool where I learned to first swim, and this was a favorite.

You bought that because you wanted his Sharps in True Grit, right?

First Rock concert, at the Summit in Houston, TX. Consequently, the first time I smelled the magic herb.

No, not so much. I bought the album long before I knew what a Sharps was. Long before the movie too (I think). Nope, looks like the movie and album came out about the same time.

Back at-cha, Ben and fellow 80's teens... for, "memory" sake...

Sitting in the back row of a theater in Denver, drinking very large cups of tequila, and screaming towards the stage "preach on Brother Tom" got us this song dedicated to us around 2000:

Would have thrown another curve... With Spandau Ballet though, only so much to immerse before drowning... Midnight Oil, Live... Here's one for memories of the carefree, the world is free to roam.

When my fiance & I broke up, I didn't give her back the Live CD's.

Mom subscribed us to the Disney story 45's. Back when there still were 45's. I think I wore out this vinyl.
