Carolyn Kieffer (Counsell)
You guys are absolutely cracking me up...luckily everyone is out of the house right now so they don't hear me bursting out laughing over seemingly nothing. Tracy, you especially have a way with the words!
Shawn Cassidy...my first big crush...if you don't count the sixth grader who lived next to me when I started Kindergarten (he held my hand on the first day when I climbed onto the bus, such sweet memories.) Anyway, Shawn Cassidy - I had an album of his in, like, first grade that had his beautiful face in super-size on the front. I used to take it and put it in my sister's Barbie townhouse, so Barbie had this way cool Shawn Cassidy wallpaper on her bedroom wall. Can't say I listen to much of him anymore.
Duran Duran, however, now they're still awesome to listen to. Kristine Simonson and I were ga-ga over them. When the video for The Reflex came out and would be on Friday Night Videos we would be sure to see all two or three times they ran the countdown, and we would be all decked out in our 80's gear and stand on the couch with our "microphones" and scream whenever a clip of our guys came on - she went for Simon LeBon, ick!, but oh, that John Taylor, now he was HOT!
Sorry girls, somehow I missed the whole Rick Springfield thing. I guess my mom watched the wrong soaps. I only knew him for his music at the time.
I'm in for a park get-together on Saturday. I'm glad you brought it up, Tammy. And Travis, your version of a juice box sounds good to me. However, if I start in the afternoon, God knows in my old age, I will not even make it to the start of dinner...I'll have to pace myself. Like Tammy's husband, though, mine will be more than happy to partake, as he will know no one also.
Trav, you'll have to get Kris on here, so she can dig up memories of who we used to sing to...I have tons of other memories of things we did growing up, but I'm drawing a blank in the music realm. Most of my memories at the Schoenenberger house revolve around time spent in the pool and games like kick the can, etc. Although I do remember sitting on the front porch and learning how to trap a mosquito in your skin when it is biting you - not sure which sister taught me that one.
