We've been talking about the vinyl records, but by the time I made it to high school, 8 track tapes were hot. [Big Grin]

Of course, records were still around, too, and one of the first gifts I received from a boy was a 45 with the song "Crimson and Clover." I can't hear that song without thinking of him, and the angst of high school.

What song reminds you of high school? Is it a good memory or a bad one?

Although I am not a boomer, Crimson and Clover is one of my all-time fav songs. Now I'll be singing it in my head and pretending to rock out to the guitar solo all day.

"Are You Going to Strawberry Fair" by Simon and Garfunkle...It reminds me of junior high school singing that song in choir and had the biggest crush on a guy in class. He would sing solo's and I would just melt when I heard him sing this song. I got the pleasure of being his girlfriend for 2 weeks....Man was I crushed when he broke up with me.

Not my favorite, but the one I associate with high school dances and mixers...Color My World!

It was the big slow dance song that sent everyone scrambling! [Big Grin] Either already in the arms of your beau, anxiously waiting for someone to tap you on the shoulder, running to the bathroom because no one was asking you, or someone you weren't interested in was pursuing you. [Eek!] Fun memories!

The first time I heard Laura Nyro sing "Eli's A Coming" I ran out to get the album. Second favorite is "Do You Want Somebody to Love?" by Jefferson Airplane.

Old songs and the memories come rushing back! Many of mine are from my older sister. She was the one in our house with the most 45's. Anyone recall how much they cost back then? I seem to remember about $.33 or $.45.?

I LOVE 'Color My World.' Hadn't thought of that one in ages!

Another one that meant a lot to me was "Close to You" by the Carpenters. My crush at the time had blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. And I liked "We've Only Just Begun" until I had to sing it at every wedding. [Big Grin]

And we can't forget James Taylor, "You've Got a Friend."

Anyone remember "Purple People Eater"? I think it was by Sheb Wooley??. I wasn't yet in high school, but I think it was the first 45 I ever owned.

I must have worn the grooves out playing it. There was a romantic song on the other side, but at the time it wasn't as important to me and I can't remember the name.
