#1 Hit when you were born

I found this great web site to tell you what song was #1 on any given day. It is so cool http://www.joshhosler.biz/NumberOneInHistory/SelectMonth.htm

on the day my kids were born the hits were:
Amy: We can work it out (the Beatles)
Jason: Bad Bad Leroy Brown (Jim Croce)
Ann: I honestly Love You (Olivia Newton-John)
Josh: Tonights the Night (Rod Stewart)
Michael: Shadow Dancing (Andy Gibb)
Emily: My Sharona (The Knack)

This is a great time line, I can see how music changed during the 13 years I was having kids. When I graduated from High School the #1 was When a man Loves A Woman by Percy Sledge. When I was married the hit was Last Train to Clarksville by the Monkees. Good thing it wasn't a omen of things to come.

time in a stationwagon

Amy just blogged about somethings that really sent me into the way back machine. She was remembering about sininging Helen Reddy songs. I remember picking her up from the babysitters (she was about 3) and we would sing Carol King songs. I forgot how much singing went on in our house, but mostly in the car. It was before seatbelts and car seats. I just threw the kids in the back of the stationwagon and away we went. We didn't even think of the danger involved. I am so glad that the laws have changed. I want my grandkids to be safe. I don't think we need laws for everything, but that is a good one. While I'm in the wayback mode,,,,,,,I remember singing the songs from Annie, The sound of Music, and most of all "Grease." Emily and I watched Grease every Sunday when we came home from church. After the first song we would be asleep and Mike would turn it off. He didn't like the movie because the good girl turned bad to get the guy. the rest of us watched it for the music and of course "John Travolta". (what a hunk). I used to remind Mike that James Bond killed people and slept with women he hardly knew and he watched those movies over and over. I always lost that argument because I loved Sean Connery too. (another Hunk).
