Hello forum friends. Hope all is well for all of you in your various corners of the world. I write a lot of songs. Some are from a hook that hits me, some are inspired by the "bands" in BIAB (about half I'd guess), and some are deeply personal about things I feel, remember, long for, or care about. This song falls under the latter category. Since many on the forum are within a decade of me in age, one way or another, I'm sure many of you have fond memories of sharing tracks from records at a time when the music was the soundtrack of your life and probably as central to your being as anything else. I have many such memories which I cherish greatly. My daughter recently got a turntable. I went with her to the used record store in town and bought some old LPs. Listening to If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot brought me to tears, remembering how the discovery of music and the beauty of the song changed my life in my teens. There really was magic in records. You young people on the forum will have to take our word for it, but there really is "a soul in a record". Hope this brings meaning and enjoyment to you who lived the same experience through many long and beautiful nights. Take care. Greg
