Odd post… Out of the middle of nowhere…
When you start to get to long in the tooth… You start to realize that memories you have may be as fleeting as your own ability to verbalize/record them… I ran into “blinded by the light” by Manfred Mann tonight when doing random play on the ipod.
It boils down to this… I remember playing on the rugs with hot wheels cars when we lived on Maple St. in Fairbury while listening to this song. I remember requesting that this song be played again… Or, it may have been that this song was just played over and over. Whatever the case… It has been entrenched as an audible memory in my head forever!
Whatever memories that are dredged up of my Father are probably just random, of the same time of my life… Regardless… It is amazing how a song or picture can suck you back in time to recall something so vividly.
Thank God Mojo came on next…
