If you had one, can you remember it (Song)

She wasn't my first love but she was the first girl I ever dated. She was extremely shy and said very little on our date. Conversation was like pulling teeth.

So I went home with the opinion that we weren't going to work out.

The hit song on the radio pretty much summed up what we had. (She was a blonde BTW)

 

She wasn't my 1st love, but she was the longest... When I was 1st going around with my wife 45 or so years ago I played this for her on the guitar and sang it. I had it engraved on a gift too. It's been our song ever since. She even played it for me on my last birthday.

Nice.
 

It‘s curious, but certain songs can also be associated in one’s mind with things other than a first love. When my father would take me practice driving on a learner’s permit, Hey Jude by the Beatles was high on the charts, and often on the radio. To this day, when I hear Hey Jude playing, I time tunnel back to being 16 and driving my parent’s car with my Dad as my nervous passenger, and the miles rolled on to the refrain of that long song as I transitioned to the privileges of adulthood… 🚘
 
When I was in High school I was dating a neighborhood boy, He asked me to be his date on his Senior Prom. They had an after Prom party at the Latin Casino and we saw Nat King Cole and he sang

In 1968 we won an amateur dance competition jiving to Louis Prima's: 1936 song, "Sing, Sing, Sing!
If you listen to a few bars of the music you will hear the tempo perfect for a foxtrot, but you can still jive to it.

A year later, in 1937, Benny Goodman released a more up tempo version. Here's a very famous couple giving their version of the jive.
The caption reads 1935, just shows you, don't believe all you see on the internet.
 
Now , I know a lot of people hate this song.. but when I was pregnant in 1975.., every time we went into the pub, my husband would drop 10p in the jukebox, and play...
