Nights in White Satin

This takes me back to Les and Em’s drive-in in Guttenberg. I worked there four years in high school, first in the back putting condiments on the burgers and then making ice cream and finally outside as a car hop. There was a jukebox and it was always rocking pop songs including Stairway to Heaven

I spent my graduation money on a stereo. It was the kind with speakers and I took it to Luther. i played Uriah Heep.

Nights in White Satin was a song memory from high school. My prom dress was yellow with lace and it was so pretty!!

Back then, my friends went to Lakeside very Saturday. It’s just what we did, and we found a little bit of freedom. We danced to early Chicago hits, like 25 or 6 to 4. I still go to Chicago hits on Spotify.

Music was a huge part of my life as I was in choir, band and jazz band. The Carpenters were big and I remember one of their medleys from Jazz Band.
