memory lane...

 Not done much today. Got the washing done, the grocery shopping done, tidied up, played our favourite CD’s. These include Abba’s mama Mia soundtrack. That reminded me of an article I read in the paper the other day about the sameness of modern music. Both The man and I agree. But listen to Abba’s compositions and there’s no way you could say that about their music.  

Music and the words that go with them is,  for lots of us,  very evocative.

Happy and sad memories can be triggered, new memories created, life would be poorer without it.

My own personal memories include having this that I remember my mum singing to me  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYnzyeM1orQ  ) Beautiful brown Eyes. And yes mine are brown.
