Music on a Friday Night

Funny how quickly a mood can change.  Grief has a way of doing that, doesn’t it? I started out by listening to a few 70’s songs on You Tube for fun and then I saw, “Sister Golden Hair” by America.  That reminded me of Dad and then a chain of songs started popping up in my head.  I had to play them of course and I smiled as I reflected on the hours we (my sister, my brother and I) spent playing Dad’s old 45’s during our every other weekend visits as kids.  All was going well until the chorus started on the Crosby, Stills and Nash: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.

I can see him singing loudly and playing the drums on his steering wheel with his ring...

“Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo”

Now the tears are flowing, but it’s okay.  Hurting means you miss someone... that you loved someone... and that’s a good thing.

One day at a time.

Fun little bit of related trivia :)
