Big Fat Daddy got me thinking.  On a blog of little note, he said:

some days an open road and any hard drivin' ZZ Top tune and we'll be doing 90 before you know it.

And that is so true.  Music is not about the group of the day, or year, or whatever.  It is about the situation.  And the timing.

I was talking about one song, yet he reminded me that there are a lot of songs.  Each one reminds us of a different memory.  Sure smell may be the most intense memory jogger.  But the truth is songs do more. (who wants to smell things all the time?).

Our first love, our first kiss, our first.....

Well you know.  Often we hear from the media about "our song".  And I guess that is right.  WHen we find the one we will grow old with, we remember "our song".  And that is fine and well.

But it is not the "only" song.  The others, perhaps not as poignant, are just as equally memory joggers.

Of memories we cherish and want to hold dear.

Music is memories.  That is what makes it so special.
