Free Bird by Skynard of course, reminds me of my good old single days. Ahhhhh! Me and the fellas and joyriding night on the town. Many nights cruising the strips, looking for woman, but mostly hanging out having fun. It's all a distant memory now, got teenagers of my own now. But when I hear Free Bird, I still want to put the windows down, kick the old lady out, grab a six-pack and cruise.
One Song That Still Causes...
You to stop what you are doing to listen because of the memory or emotion that it evokes. For me it is "Sentimental Journey," sung by Doris Day (with the Les Brown Orchestra). As I mentioned on another thread, upon my Dad's release from a WWII German POW camp at Stag Luft III -- he was liberated by General Patton -- he heard this song for the first time on a troop train during his return to the States. This day also happened to be his 21st birthday. My Dad is still alive and I thank God every day for his health. Each time I hear this song, it causes me to stop in my tracks and listen, picturing the skinny, golden haired former POW heading home to his mother, father & sister.
