Musical Memories - Teresa

Child Teresa - Sound of Music

I have memories of listening to the album on the high-fi with Paulie. “Doe a Deer” was MY song

Tween Teresa - David Cassidy “I think I love you!”

Someone gave me the 45 for Christmas.  I repeatedly played it on the high-fi so much that Dad kindly asked me to give it a rest.

Teresa Teen - Young Adult -College

Bob Seger

Billy Joel

Fleetwood Mac

QUEEN

Each album was a response to my life - happy, sad, troubled, or attempted a persona - cool, sexy

Married Life - Young Mother -RADIO

It played in my kitchen all the time.  TV wasn’t the background noise - music was!

NOW - Spotify

WBEE- I am leaning to country music - ha ha, go figure!

Random thoughts …

Stereo:  remember putting a penny on top of the needle

How about the Columbia Record Club - Trouble!!!

Wasn’t it fun to READ the album - it felt like the secret was discovered - the WORDS.  I also remember buying albums based upon the POPULAR or hit song and then discovering that I really did not like most of the other songs.  And sometimes that flipped!!!

I wish that I had a more intimate connection to music.  I certainly gravitate to the lyrics and the melody and don’t recognize or appreciate the combinations of instruments and basically the construction of a song - album.

Thanks David and Nancy
