How Kool....haven't heard this in a long time.

funny how a tune you haven't listened to in decades can instantly come to memory.

You can’t beat the Ronnette’s on this one...or many others for that matter.

This Magic Moment

1969

Skating rink on Terry road in Jackson MS

Girls Choice song

The red headed freckled girl I had zero interest in always snagged me for hand and waist holding laps skating to that song whilst the girl I actually did like got snagged by older guys

They’d dim the lights and do the sparkles

Cheesy but it served a purpose

I tried to be kind and not hurt her feelings

I was raised right after all

She probably grew up to be a bombshell

We loved to the north side of town and roller rinks faded into nostalgia

PS I love gingers now lol

My wife has a yoga bud who’s ginger and she’s hotter than a skillet

But I’m a sun and beach guy so alabaster babes for me woulda been tuff

From 1970 to 1971 Jay and the American’s touring band included Walter Becker and Donald Fagen (of later Steely Dan fame) on backup bass guitar and electric organ.

I know, was just addressing the diversity issue that someone brought up.
