What song takes you back.........

kewl posts, and kewl songs so far........for those of you that just posted music, what's the story behind the song? or, where does it take you when you hear it? i would love to hear the stories.

another one for me is nantucket sleighride by mountain.

this takes me back to my friend's house in high school. his name was bob booth, he was the bass player in my high school band.........we would sit in his bedroom after school and play this song (and others) over and over learning every part, and then play it in the band. bob was a very seasoned player, and at the time could play circles around me. i remember sitting on his bed, playing his brothers hagstrom, picking out the parts, and bob yelling at me when i'd play a part wrong. "that's a minor chord right there" he would say, schooling me on some parts of the progression.

so when i hear that song, it takes me back to that bedroom painted black with all the psychedelic black light posters on the wall, in the afternoon after high school, playing records and learning parts w/bob.
