I love Loopy

four-song dedication to Lovey, on the jukebox at the bar, paid for with one dollar from the communal drink fund (such good socialists we are!)

1. Let's give 'em something to talk about (Bonnie Raitt)
2. Something in the way she moves (James Taylor)
3. Love of my life (Santana)
4. Brown-eyed girl (Van Morrison)

The first song I think of as our "getting together song." I can't quite remember why anymore, altho I think it had something to do with seeing her ex-girlfriend and having the ex get all jealous of us before we were even going out. I also taped my CD of the album for Loopy before we were going out... I drew a lovely cover art and left it in a bag on her doorknob.

I've always loved the second song...
"I feel fine anytime she's around me now, and she's around me now almost all the time..."

The third song I think of in connection with the rehabilitation of our marriage after some problems... this is probably my all-time favorite love song. "Every day, every night, you alone are the love of my life..."

And the fourth also makes me think of those early days in Tucson....Loopy introduced me to Van Morrison, I think....drivin' around in ol' Elvistina (the big green dodge dart with the continuous bench of a front seat so I could cuddle up to Loopy while she drove...), blasting the radio and just feeling so happy and content....

I miss you, Lovey. I'm glad I don't have to be away too much longer. I'm so sad I wasn't there for your little ER jaunt. :-( :-( Love you!!!!
