That's pretty interesting, Tim, about your son! Mine is 12 1/2 and thinks hearing about our growing-up years is a hoot. But then, we're big on story-telling in our family, so maybe he's just used to it and knows he'd better listen up!
I have vivid memories of being that age and of being a teenager, but then there are whole parts of high school that are kind of a wash...for me, though, being a musician, I can tap into that musical memory and so as a result I have lots of scenes in my head from things like dances, our chorus rehearsals and concerts and exchange concert trips, other performances I did, All State Orchestra, things like that...and I'll give you just one: the Stones' "Brown Sugar" being played something like three times in one dance, and I danced it with Stan Richards and then two other guys who are now nameless and faceless! I must've been all of 13. I remember standing against the bleachers waiting for boys to ask us to dance, and I remember older kids were drinking, smoking, etc. Also those days were such that we were allowed to walk to and from the dances, just us girls, late at night even, at age 13. Sure doesn't happen like that here in Minneapolis in the year 2002!!!
