Fragrant Flashbacks, For Contest

For no reason I suddenly burst into song an old tune from my childhood, while walking along Took me back forty years – I was forming a band and those awful school dinners that we couldn’t stand Funny how all the words in a moment come back when a scent from your schooldays revives an old track The old melodies merge with nostalgic recall of the teacher who didn’t encourage at all Then would you believe it, she strode into view my old music teacher from ‘72 Bill Lindsay Fragrant Flashbacks September 17th 2015 Music
