High School - those were the days. From 7th grade through high school, most of us listened to the most music of any times in our lives, the stuff that helped define us.
There are at least 40 more I'd like to add here. Slow ones. And 40 more fast ones. And a few whole album sides. Just trying to keep it manageable for the party.
The American Music Anthem:
American Pie - Don McLean
Crocodile Rock - Elton John
Elton John, Bennie & the Jets
Time In A Bottle - Jim Croce, an artist who left way too early
Brother Louie - Stories
BTO, Takin' Care of Business
The Joker- Steve Miller Band
Colour My World was the theme for Junior Prom, wasn't it?
The best slow dance EVER,
Chicago, Colour My World
Elton John, Daniel
I missed my brothers during these years. This song reminded me most of them.
America, Sister Golden Hair
There's a story with every song in this playlist. Played this one about 50 times at the going away party the night before I left for basic training. Married 8 weeks later.

Well I tried to make it sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on monday and I got myself undressed
I aint ready for the altar but I do agree theres times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Well, I keep on thinkin bout you, sister golden hair surprise
And I just cant live without you; cant you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesnt mean you aint been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I dont mind sayin, I just cant make it
Well, I keep on thinkin bout you, sister golden hair surprise
And I just cant live without you; cant you see it in my eyes?
Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesnt mean you aint been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I dont mind sayin, I just cant make it
Regards,
Keith
