Aretha, PBS, and the Spinners

Last night I watched a PBS special with Aretha Franklin and the Soul music of the 60's and 70's. I poured myself a glass of wine and proceeded to enjoy. Next thing I knew the dogs and I were dancing. Zeus and Shelley danced together and I danced alone. I knew lots of the words and sang along really loud. No one was home but me. Percy Sledge, the Temptations,the Chi-Lites, Jackie Wilson and on and on. The Spinners brought back special memories. I saw them at Wake Forest when I was 22 or so. I had a blind date that was the pits. But the concert was incredible. Last night I closed my eyes and I was right back at that auditorium. Singing with the Spinners, dancing to the music, and cheering. Those memories are what you miss. Plastic surgery, starvation diets, and spanx wont bring that back. But just for one hour last night Aretha and PBS did.
