My sensory memory hits 5th gear with strong buttery smell while Joni sang “Chelsea Morning” or Bob Dylan taunting me to grow up fast, “how does it feel,” or Cat Stevens “on the road to find out.” Ah yes, that smokey poetic Leonard Cohen, the Blues man John Mayhall, Janis Joplin, my sister’s playlist goes on and on. Today we still share music. Some: we both love Keb Mo and Shelby Lynn too.

In the 70's we all signed our letters with either this: "And, remember, You've Got a Friend" (by Carole King) or, with just about any line from the song: "Lean on Me" (by Bill Withers). We were SO melodramatic back then. And if you want to talk about 1-100 crushes, we girls used to lie on our backs on the jetty, and watch the fireworks every Fourth of July. Just before the fireworks would explode, we'd say something like, "Judy and Mike" or "Marion and Tommy". If the display was glorious, that meant a positive crush outcome. If it was a dud, we'd move onto the next crush. I look forward to seeing everyone's favorite songs... then I'll go to itunes!

You *are* my sister under the skin! My single favourite defining artist was Peter Gabriel. The album though, was Melt. Biko got me going on the anti-apartheid movement. Apart from that, (old) Genesis, Supertramp, Bowie, Chris de Burgh (the early albums, not the pop stuff)... Oh, I knew it!! You *are* my sister under the skin!
