    You know how some songs, and not just Dead songs, transport you back to a certain time and place whenever you hear them? Maybe you didn't even like them at the time, but three notes and there you are driving back from the beach when you're 16, or whatever.

    And some songs just come to embody a particular time and place forever after.

    What are yours?

    In my room with my sister we pick out an album, Carol King Tapesrty, we put it on the turntable and gently put the needle down and I pick up my hairbrush as my micophone, then the music starts piano first my sister is playing the dresser as the piano, pounding away the tunes, then I start to sing...I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down I feel my heart start to trembling Whenever you're around Oh, baby, when I see your face Mellow as the month of May Oh, darling, I can't stand it When you look at me that way Oh yea, we are hot! Then my brother opens the doors and starts laughing at us and we scream and slam the door shut and continue our show! Such fun memories with that song!! Thanks Carol King!! Peace, Gigi Mssing my sister!

    When I hear any of the songs that were on this album am 5 again, sitting in front of my own childen´s record player. Loved that thing, though it did GREAT damage to my Dad´s records. Any song from Jesus Christ Superstar, and am also instantly a child in my mind, sobbing on my dad's lap. GREAT topic, by the way ********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

Hotel California evokes very specific images of the summer I turned sixteen- driver's license, Dead shows, and my first real girlfriend who was as much a teenager as I was.
