A Happy Playlist

A few weeks ago, the three of us were out for supper. A song came on the radio, and I said to Emily that it was one of those songs that was on the radio during her childhood. Then I thought: there are a lot of those kinds of favorite songs!  So I listened to stations on satellite radio for a few weeks and made a list--Paul's Childhood-of-Emily Playlist !  It was great to identify these; happy memories!  Plus, I didn't even realize I was such a Gin Blossoms fan, LOL.
