I was around people who let me have limited access to their records. It all get jumbled up. My concern is that I&#8217;ll include a song into the <em>BFMS <\/em>era and later have it brought to my attnetion that the song I thought I listened to on the radio in 1978 actually wasn&#8217;t released until 1980. In fact I struggle with this in my mind.\u00a0 Obviously, I&#8217;d like to be as accurate as possible in this self discovery but then the other hemisphere of\u00a0my brain says &#8220;<em>Just go with how you remember it without endless research into dates and times.

I used to take skiing lesson on Mt Ascutney on Saturdays. In the morming we&#8217;d all pile on a bus and ride up there. The bus driver played the radio for everybody. One day as I was getting on the bus, not only was <em>Sometime When We Touch<\/em> playing on the radio, but this pretty blonde girl that\u00a0I had a mild crush on named Leisl was singing along. She was just having fun but as\u00a0I climbed up the stairs, our eyes met and I was sure that she was singing it to me. Of course she probably doesn&#8217;t remember that moment like I do and she probably doesn&#8217;t even remember who I am but for a few seconds on a Saturday morning in the cold blue light of snow, we were in love and this was our song,<\/p>\n<p>Debbie Boone &#8211; <em>You Light up My Life<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b07-yKnKRMQ\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nManfred Mann&#8217;s Earth Band &#8211; <em>Blinded By The Light<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lcWVL4B-4pI\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nAt this point in my life, I had never heard of Bruce Springsteen.
