Sing, Sing a Song...
Nov. 12th, 2007 11:48 pmKenny Rogers' The Gambler came on the radio while i was on the way to work. Singing along with it took me back 16 years, to my many weekend visits to Cornell, where a lot of my friends went to school. Where I would stand in the stairwell of the North Campus student union and sing country and western standards while other danced. Happy times that. I don't get to sing enough nowadays.

Any chance you knew Jennifer Johnson, Kate Brody, Alex Benton, or Viv Holt? Jen is/was Pagan and graduated in 95 or so. They were the more musical friends I knew from then who were older than I.
Or, for that matter, did you ever wind up at the Prospect of Whitby housing co-op? (Dave *mumble something* was a folk musician who lived there and had a cluster of musician friends...)

And everyone I knew in Uj was younger than that. :)
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
