Still have the Gibson I bought on S. Wabash in 1969. For me three songs that come immediately to mind are "Our House" by Crosby Stills etc. Except I would play it for our kids and we would substitute "with 3 kids in the yard" for the "cats" lyric. Then "Chicago Bound" by Jimmy Roger's because whenever we've moved away, we couldn't wait to get back. And I play that song! Finally, "Don't Get Me Wrong" by the Pretenders. You can listen to the lyrics of that one and figure out why!
Yes, my friend. 🌀

Great post. Thanks!
Good three! I get it.
We played Let It Be at my wedding, Joe’s funeral & it’s the epigraph in my novel. Who says music is the soundtrack of our lives?
My cousin played Let it Be at his wedding, too. I remember how cool I thought that was.
I love your essays! Every one!
So kind. I'm glad you are finding them connecting somehow.
