On my way to work today (yes, I had to work), the song "Friday I'm in Love" came on. That song was popular way back in the Spring of 1996 (for those of you too young to remember). That spring I was living in Orlando, FL working for the big mouse. I had a great time in Orlando, but it did make me miss home. It made me appreciate Baton Rouge more than I ever had.
That spring, my sweet sister sent me a little piece of home. She recorded our favorite afternoon radio show (which of course was a victim of a radio format change and was off the air not long after I returned home) for a whole cassett tape (yes, it WAS 1996). So when I popped it into my tape player in my car (yes, no cd player yet), I had 2 hours of home. Commericals, commentary, popular songs of the time. I played that tape over and over until I practically had it memorized.
One of the final songs on the tape? Yep... you guessed it... "Friday, I'm in Love."
Thanks, Leslie.
