Off across the hills, a storm was brewing; flashes of lightning too far away to hear thunder. The storm eventually arrived and chased us to my grandmother's house right before it arrived.
The next morning, I was surprised, since you could still kick dust. Rain didn't do much for the parched land.
Enjoy
I love the song, but I cannot remember where I was the first time I heard any song. It puzzles me that people can do so.
ReplyDeleteMaybe my mind works differently than others. Most songs I like are keyed to the occurrence where they were first heard.
DeleteI especially remember any song that was playing while making out. There truly has to be a memorable connection to a song in order to remember what you were doing when you first heard it. And I've always loved this one.
ReplyDeleteI almost blushed....and I don't want to know. ;-)
DeleteI lived in Chickasha OK the sixties and I remember the A&W there. The song was off the 'It Ain't Easy' LP by Three Dog night.
ReplyDeleteMy dad was raised in Chickasha. His parents had a music/record/appliance store downtown.
DeleteWere they the Shoemakers?
DeleteThat's them. I lived there with my grandmother for the first two years of my life, after my mother died. I don't remember much of that time, but have some memories of years later.
DeleteSmall world right? I went to school with a Greg Shoemaker. Any relation?
ReplyDeleteFirst cousin. I haven't been in contact for over forty years...it's a long story.
DeleteWow! You and I should talk...
