**What are some of the songs you remember that made you happy as a child ?** I am not looking for _Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star_ but rather radio or record songs. I can start : When I was a kid we all used to clean on Sunday afternoons and my step-dad would put on a record and blast it so everyone could here it while we worked. These are songs I will always love . . . _Easy_ Lionel Ritchie _Masquerade_ George Benson _Crocodile Rock_ Elton John _One in a Million_ Larry Graham _You’ve Got a Friend_ James Taylor It’s odd, but after writing that list I see a pattern. ---

Even as a child, I hated the music my mother would play, for the most part. But, I did like to get into their old records that they never played anymore…I especially liked: Rocket Man by Elton John Hey Jude by the Beatles Let it Be by the Beatles I second Forever in Blue Jeans (just bought myself a big fat double CD, Neil Diamond’s Greatest Hits 1966-1992.) Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond ---

Mishell, you got a lotta guts admitting, on **this** board, that you like Neil Diamond. _Just take my arm, here, and we’ll slip on out. Don’t make eye contact, just keep moving. What? No, we were just leaving…_
