It was very cold that January as I was beginning my second quarter at the University of Chicago. An emotional chill swept through our family first as my step father Ray passed away several months after his cancer diagnosis. It was very sad as my mother found herself a widow for the third time. We had a few crying jags and breakdowns over the phone but on some level, this death brought us all closer together, including my sister Judy who had been pulled away from the family by her emotionally abusive husband.
Fun Fact: In 1978, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson released "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys". Clearly, all those Mamas took Waylon's and Willie's advice much too seriously. 🤔😉
Lots of great tunes there Bernie! Clearly you know what my favorites are as we've matched on three of them. I also really like the Shawn Colvin and Sarah McLachlan songs. The latter's album was by far my favorite that year.
Here's my list
* Silver Springs - Fleetwood Mac
* Get Out the Map - Indigo Girls
* A Change Would Do You Good - Sheryl Crow
* Everlong - Foo Fighters
* Foolish Games - Jewel
* 3AM - Matchbox Twenty
* Sunny Came Home - Shawn Colvin
* Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes
* Building A Mystery - Sarah McLachlan
* Where Have All the Cowboys Gone? - Paula Cole

I'd never heard that Ricochet song -- fab.
Sheryls' video is great fun.
Fleetwood Mac never cease to amaze me!
So true!
