Brief thoughts about past lives..

I have been reminded lately of the days when I was at Snowden, and opted to walk six miles home, rather than pay for a bus, so I could buy new music. I am going to list what music I can remember now.

Time, I'm sure, has obscured the absolute veracity of some of these selections, but these all remind me of a slightly foggy, slightly rainy, slightly chilly afternoon spent waking home from school. The miles and weather mattered little, for only my body was on earth. My mind was worlds away, carried there by the soundtrack of my youth.

…I still miss it, hope to one day find m way back there again.
