I’ve heard of most of these songs but not all…I would have put “at 17” by Janis Ian. This is a great idea. I think I may have been blogging for 21 months…not sure. LOL
Hugs to you and Gary.

    I didn’t mean to imply that it was better. It was the only song I immediately thought of with a number in it. LOL

    I am sorry, Terry, that I’ve been absent from your blog for a few days – it’s Passover. I hope you won’t knock points off my grade for truancy, like I do with my students!
    I do want to know how you’ve been doing and settling in a new place.
    Have a great weekend,
    D

Countdown to 24 is now on! Hadn’t heard this song in ages (and certainly hadn’t seen that video recently). This song brought back a flood of memories, some vague but others specific. All good ones too. Happy Monday Terry! 🙂
