Enjoying the Memories

I tune my radio to the station featuring the Big Band sound and all the music of the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s. I pour a cup of coffee, listen and let my mind wander. For a little while I’m young, it’s Saturday night and I’m all dressed up waiting for my date. Each song brings back a memory of a time, a place, and my “date,” who later became my husband. He’s gone now, but the music brings him back and miraculously I am no longer alone. The dark corners disappear with the music and the memories.
