Wow.
I have not thought of them in years, but this weekend I heard Fantasy and I was zoomed back to the Parish town gymnasium where we would rock out at "dances" on Friday nights in the 80's. Nothing like trying to act all cool under basketball nets!
Where could I have heard this song, you may ask? Well my husband listens to a Canadian classic rock station in his truck, and we were running errands together - you know, romantic destinations like Home Depot, Lowes and Value - and on the truck radio this song starts playing. Jim was not impressed when I started singing.
