Memories.... Both fond & sorrowful....

Ya know...it's funny how the mind works. It's a well known fact that both odors and music are very strong memory stimulants, and sometimes that works in reverse. Since the death of my life long best friend, Bob, I've had the opportunity to review and look back upon specific times in our lives together.

Yesterday, while recalling a place where Bob and I used to hang out, both before and after our Navy days, certain songs began flooding my mind, songs that would almost always be playin on the Juke-Box as we were havin a beer or two, playin pool, or practicin "stress release" by kickin the crap outta some assholes that dearly deserved it. There wasn't anything particularly special about our hang-out, "Borio's Restaurant" on Oneida Lake. In those days, it was just a small neighborhood bar/restaurant that catered to locals, fishermen and folks out cruisin around the lake during a hot Summer day or evening....

So...please indulge Cookie as he uses his blog for therapeutic purposes fer awhile...

Here's some of the songs that came floodin back.....so if'n ya like Ray Charles...yur gonna love this post...
