This week at the Party we’re going to do something a little different. Instead of telling you what theme to post to, you tell me something. You tell me what the song you’re posting reminds you of or makes you think about. Okay? Okay!
This one reminds me of being 14 or 15 years old and sleeping out in the summertime, and running around the neighborhood at night. Mostly just meeting up with our friends, smoking, and playing cards, but our moms would have been plenty pissed off.
This one reminds me of late nights drinking beer with my three best friends at my first job.
This one reminds me of my friend Chuck, who died of cancer at 22, and wanted us to drink a shot for him whenever we were in a bar and heard this tune, and up until I was forced to stop drinking, I always did.
This one reminds me of the first time I ever saw my husband perform. It was around six years before we got together, I was there with my first husband, to see my sister sing with this new band she was in, Cleetus was rude to me, and I told my sis he was a big asshole, but man, could he sing.
And this one reminds me of family picnics, when they would start to wind down a little my dad would pull out the guitar, and my Uncle Frankie would pull up a chair with him and they would start the music.
Now, you don’t have to tell me much, just any little tidbit you choose. I’ll be posting more of my memories down in the comments, won’t you join me?

at me for suggesting he learn the tune before he tried to sing it. Yeah, I’m that mom. He didn’t talk to me all night.
we’d been in school together for 8 years – we must’ve played this song about 40 times, or enough for every boy to dance with every girl at least once. and it was the arms around waist/neck sway, cuz ya know, we were young… 😀
