mental jukebox bonanza!!!

My friend Sandy started it on fb... and I couldn't resist continuing the fun on my page!

Here's the premise: to name the first song that comes to mind that contains the item of interest, whether it be a number or day of the week or whatever.

No fair using the internet to look anything up!

I had several folks play along, too!

Very nice!

And what did I like best about this little game?

Being reminded of songs I had forgotten!

Also, it was cool to learn of songs I never knew.

I also liked the variety of genres. 

But, perhaps most favorite of all, I loved that folks played along!

Thanks, y'all!
