Aah..... I "Kon Kan " remember when....



I guess I have a music theme going. But you know how it is when you hear a song, or even just a few bars of it and you are suddenly someplace else. It's like the old Trisha Yearwood song, The Song Remembers When. In this case, I am in the Old Girls' Gym at my alma-mater, Logan High School, on a Friday night after a home football game. It's dark inside, save for the multi-coloured footlights placed by the speakers. Freshman girls are ogling the junior and senior jocks, cheerleaders are preening, and all the while all music is blaring so loudly it's hard to have a conversation with the person standing next to you.

The music changes to a slow song, and suddenly hopeful belles are trying to "sparkle" while half of the guys exit the gym, leaving a good part of the under-class girls staring at their shoes. But then Kon Kan booms through the speakers and everyone is out on the dance floor in droves.

Oh, the memories of those crazy high school dances! (In Ryan's case, for this particular song, the memories are of stake dances. ;))
