Minute By Minute: Where Were You?

[GammaGlobulin]

I don’t know about you, but I know the places which I deeply associate with this song.

 

This is one of those songs that, if you were living at the time, you just do not forget, no matter whether or not you like it.

 

This is a song, maybe, which just gets into your bones.

 

So what are the memories that you associate with this song?

 

As for me, my memories associated with this song probably could not be fully told unless my story were to be told in the lounge.

 

I can tell you only this:

 

a. Hong Kong

b. Terrace on Roof

c. Night

d. Bob Seger 

 

I will not share my stories about listening to this song because I know that yours are better.

 

However, I also know that your stories are just stories.

And my stories in Asia are real.

So solly.

Not for me.

But for you…

 

I took The Doobie Brothers everywhere I went on my Nakamichi 550.  And those were the days before Walkman.

And, those were the days before you knew about Kimchi, too.

 

 

Listening on.....

 

 

 

I really feel sorry for you people that you never had  a Chinese GF, ...then.

So much better, really....then....

And, even now....BETTER.

 

Just ask your Farang GF why she can't be as good as the Chinese....

She will not be able to provide you with a logical answer...

 

Chopsticks, for one.

Farang girls can't use chopsticks the right way.

 

 

Anyway, the world was a FAR better place when you had a Nakamichi on a shoulder strap, with headphones, and were waltzing down the streets in Asia , at a time before the internet and the Walkman.

 

The Nakamichi was the closest thing to a Walkman, at that time, even though very few people used them the right way...as a mobile audio player, with headphones.

 

The Nakamichi was high quality audio, and about the best you could buy, for something that was also as portable.

 

Somebody stole my Nakamichi in Taiwan, many years ago.

Ever since, I find that putrid island to be much less than the Isla Formosa that it was mistakenly thought to be.

Let’s hear some more reasons why you think Chinese girls are the best. I’m not convinced by chopsticks utility.
