1977 - Another Song From The Back Seat (and this is not a double entendre) - SOML Post 8

Posted over 2 years ago
I'm really ready to move on from 1977, but I couldn't resist adding one more song. This is another song from the murky mists of time that I remember distinctively hearing riding in the back seat of my Dad's green Plymouth Fury. In 1977, Linda Ronstadt released a "best of" CD with a cover of Roy Orbison's "Blue Bayou". My Dad loved the song, and whenever I hear it I am transported to being seven years old again. In my head it is always drenched in nostalgic reverb like in the movies when someone is remembering something important that will figure into the plot in just a couple minutes. It never figures into my plot, but I get all mushy and take on that dreamy stare whenever I think of "those fishing boats with their sails afloat". Enjoy, back for another spin, Linda Ronstadt's Blue Bayou. See if you can hear the echo...
