I live in the town I grew up in. A small, N.J. town that has streets with old tree canopies and gas street [View all]
lights instead of harsher electric lights.
I was driving home through one of those streets and it brought me back to being in my car after movie dates and lingering in front of my girl's house, enjoying the evenings together. It brought to memory, Frank Sinatra's."It Was A Very Good Year."
"When I was seventeen,
It was a very good year,
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights...."
I'm 82 now. I think back to those times that give memories that make my life, one of joy.
