2. Hard choice in picking a version ...

they are all good!

Picture is credited to jillan in the Sanders group

How many millennials remember this song, evidence that Sanders has some older supporters.

And a few are even women

[JudyM]

3. I love pretty much anything by the Junkies, learned to play this one on guitar.

Played it for my -at that time - 84ish year old mom and got her singing along with the refrain! Sweet sweet memory, and she's 91 now

[slipslidingaway]

4. Wonderful, music can be such a unifying and uplifting force ...

wishing you and your Mom many sweet memories

I remember some of those with my daughter and Mom in the hospital with a cassette recorder, that was when they still let small children in for a visit. My daughter has gone from a three year old sitting in bed with her grandmother in the hospital singing to now being doc, happy memories

Thx!

[JudyM]

5. Oh how nice!!! Big smile over here for you!

[slipslidingaway]

6. Thx, funny how things seem to come around ...

keep playing and enjoy.

7. Another version was at the Capitol theater in NJ ...

which I almost picked as we have seen the Allman Brothers band there a few times, so I'll just leave this here with another great song.

13. Speaking of the Allman Brothers - I have a daughter named

Yes, I was very pregnant & driving to work on a beautiful morning when this song came on the radio.

[slipslidingaway]

17. Melissa is a gorgeous name and another great song ...

although one of my all time favorites is Elizabeth Reed, still would prefer Melissa though

This song catches you in the beginning, then brings you in slowly and just builds from there.

[jillan]

22. Yes! Another great song. Maybe if I heard this that day,

my daughter's name would be Elizabeth

[slipslidingaway]

23. Personally I like Melissa better ...

but Elizabeth Reed is just an all time favorite of mine just for the music.

Yes we are influenced by the times, I'll PM you my daughter's middle name

33. My name is Melissa and I abhor that song!

I hate it with a passion, the white hot passion of a million burning suns. I was a young woman in the late 70's and you have no idea how many guys tried to woo me by singing "sweet Melissa" at me. It was one of those things that immediately ended any chance the guy might ever have had. My face has always been an open book, so they usually knew it pretty quickly. My niece is named Jessica, another Allman Bros. song, and I tell her to be thankful it is an instrumental piece!

[jillan]

35. So happy my daughter doesn't feel like that.

[ms liberty]

36. She probably didn't have the problem I had, lol!

It is a beautiful song, it just got ruined for me.

[jack_krass]

8. Very nice. I thought this was going to be anothet attack on her from the Brock brigade

[slipslidingaway]

10. Life is always a surprise, thx! nt

[jillan]

14. Lol - I know that feeling when you are trying decide if you really want to click on a thread

but do it anyway - and then end up saying "phew"

[jillan]

9. Thanks for posting this!

I'm all smiles.

And I love that song.

[slipslidingaway]

11. Thank you for posting the pictures, the song title marries well with the pictures ...

if you can remember that far back

[jillan]

12. I think I have that album laying around here somewhere.

[slipslidingaway]

15. Sob, we got rid of so many albums when we moved a few years ago ...

we should have kept them for the covers if nothing else, but damn they are heavy.

16. Did you get a her a cake?

[slipslidingaway]

18. Of course not, but I did send an anniversary donation yesterday and today...

are political donations tax deductible

[barrow-wight]

19. Is cake tax deductible?

It's their anniversary. Maybe she'd like some cake.

[slipslidingaway]

20. But I did not send a cake, I just sent money to the Sanders campaign ...

for the betterment of all people in our nation, is that tax deductible

[barrow-wight]

21. I don't know. Is his candidacy still valid?

I still think cake would have been better.

[slipslidingaway]

24. Yes still valid and they can buy a cake if they want :))) nt

[Bonobo]

25. Wow, you don't even troll that well. nt

[barrow-wight]

26. Accusing people of being trolls again?

How nice. I'm going to step away from you now and just ... watch.

[Bonobo]

27. I'm absolutely certain of it. nt

[senz]

28. You and me both, Bonobo. nt

[B Calm]

34. I agree too.

[madokie]

29. Both made a wise choice

The heart will do that to you if you let it, most times that is. Happy Anniversary Jane and Bernie and hopefully many many more to come

[slipslidingaway]
