39 years, but…
I still think about her this time of year (and occasionally more often than that) because 12/26 is her birthday…she was my first serious crush…We met at a band practice, her cousins were the lead and rhythm guitarists…I was the drummer…I fell (HARD) for her, she fell for the Bass player…I worshiped her, she worshiped him…he ignored her…I might have wanted to have sex with her, but it didn’t bother me that we didn’t…just being with her was enough…Until this past October it had been about 39 years since I last saw that Bass player (he’s a guitarist now) but he and I were re-united…Now if I could find her…then I’d die happy–half kidding…I imagine she looks like Gloria Steinem but she could look like Roseanne for all I know…the Bass player’s cousin was (dare I say) rather hot all those years ago; that is not the case now…I was re-united with them at a funeral back in October…the stories I could tell, but really why bother…the Bass/Guitar player’s name is (now) John…way back when he gave me a book entitled BE HERE NOW…and that’s what I’m gonna try to do…on to 2012…
