| Alabama – Dancin', Shaggin' on the Boulevard [*] Lyrics

I heard this today and it took me back to when I was stationed at Myrtle Beach AFB from 1985 - 1992. It gave me a smile to hear the name check of all the clubs along the Grand Strand. The Mother Fletcher radio spots were crazy! I never learned how to Shag, but me and the wife would go dancing. Cruising the Stand in the back of a pickup truck on a lawn chair was classic. From the Can Am days in March, through the tourist season till Labor Day weekend the place was nuts. The sun, the fun, I sure miss it. From what I understand though I am missing a place that no longer exist, most the clubs have closed, the Pavilion and the amusement park is gone, the base closed, so many things have changed. I watch this video and Kenny Chesney's "Anything but mine" to see all the places I used to hang out. This song take me back. |

An update to this story. Kay contacted me on classmates, it took me 5 years to answer her back. I apologized for taking so long to reply, she was just glad to hear from me. We exchanged histories, she had it rough, I felt bad for being mad for so long. We wrote each other a couple of times, then the emails stopped. I found out she died. I was glad we caught up with each other, but I've lost her again, but I know she's in a better place. she said I was the one that got away, I told her she really didn't miss anything. |

This song reminds me of my mom and dad. He was a country boy, she a city girl. The were so in love, my girlfriend (now wife) met them, and said it was the purist love she had ever seen. I was so blessed that they love each other and my brother and I so much. Dad had heart problems and could hardly get out of bed, but when my mom got terminal cancer he got up to help her, one night I was paying with him for them, he died on the phone, I though he had hung up. I went to help put her in a nursing home, I asked her what she would change if she could, she said "Nothing, with your dad by my side, life was wonderful". She followed him to Heaven a week later, 2 weeks after he died. I think of them often, even after 10 years, and love them, always. |

I love Denver, I lived there on and of for 5 years, and would live there again if I had the chance. This song reminds me of a girl I loved there, mountains, clear cold mornings, camp fire coffee. and traveling. |

In June 1978 I left for Air Force basic training, I left behind the fist girl I ever made love to, we were going to be married after my technical training. 2 months latter she married some other guy, so much for eternal love. I got an email from her, she regretted what she did, she cheated on me, and got pregnant from this other guy, back then you got married when that happened. Every time I play this song (on my guitar) I think of her. She asked my forgiveness, I told her I never was mad at her, I was sad for what could have been. She said that I was the the one that got away, I told her she just didn't now the pain she was spared, that I was a scoundrel, a drunk, I cheated on my wife, that getting rid of me was the best for her. I still think of her though, Kay, I still love you, and as my fist love I always will!! |

On Oct 22,1976, we went to see Black Sabbath, Boston opened for them. When they played it was like nothing we ever heard before, my friends, my girlfriend, my brother, and I were mesmerized, this band was HOT. The concert was 1 day before Boston released there first album, so this was a completely new sound. More Than A Feeling was the sound track for my Junior year of High School, and My girlfriend Kay and I was so in love, we were to be married after high school, and when we heard this song were thought we had "More than a feeling", a higher love. I went to basic training, and Technical School for the Air Force, and while I was gone Kay married someone else, so much for that eternal love. I hadn't really listed to the lyrics of the song till after her wedding. Later she came by to pick up some stuff from my mom's while I was on leave. We said our goodbyes, she walked off into the cold day, and the line "I saw my Marianne walking away" went through my mind. Every time I hear this song I see her walking down the street. |
