Danny and Me

Days gone by, happy days floated away, to a sweet land of harmony, rock n' roll there was no other to listen to, it touched us so deeply. Dion and the Belmonts, no one could out do them, "Runaround Sue", "The Wanderer", Who could sing it better than the great one" "Ruby Baby" got you going into outer space. Danny and me loved that music, at Marshall's music room, we spent our Saturday's there, it was our home away from home. We used to listen to the top 40, and not stop listening until the last song had been played, back in 1957 was a great time to be young. Danny passed away last year, will miss him dearly, my it won't be the same, no more phone calls to ask him do you remember when this or that happened? Our youth is so special it only last for a short time, and it's gone, never to come back to us.

You know James most of my memories are of death, drugs, jails, prisons and violence - I mean there was some good times mixed in there but they were few true moments of joy - It wasn't until 2004 at the age of 44 that I truly started to build real memories - I just simply love your writes I could read them all night - well not anymore this getting late for me - God Bless james
