"Time Won't Let Me" by the Outsiders. It was being covered by the first live band I saw where the musicians had long hair. They were playing at a street party outside a local business' grand opening. I thought it was the coolest thing on the planet.

Didn't have you down as a prog fan Craig (if that is your real Monica) My name is not Monica, and don't call me Shirley.

a few more:
DOA by Bloodrock a friends basement and the school cafeteria
Run through the jungle: a buddy across the street.... he was so worried about being drafted to Vietnam.
Don't Worry : Yoko Ono.... the high school cafeteria and the psych teacher.... he hated that song.... so did we, but he really hated it and it was fun to play it over and over just to see him bug out. More than once he pulled the plug on the jukebox.
All The Young dudes: My buddy Denny.... used to walk around singing "Is that concrete all around or is it in my head" and talking about the bugs taking over.
Anything by the Doors: another buddy Mike loved those guys
Capt Beefhart Clear spot & Zappa (Chunga's Revenge) The mellow melodious Moon.... a big black guy...good friend who loved the good captain and played drums with us from time to time at our jam sessions.
Good memories there.......

This morning driving into work Tom Petty's Free Falling was on the radio, always takes me back to three days stuck in LA after missing a flight. Not a bad thing, I wasn't not in a hurry to be anywhere else and it gave me a chance to look around and this song was always on the radio.

Not sure if I'd want to hear "Free Falling" when I'm supposed to be on a flight though... LOL!

This one really takes me back to when I started working as a technician. I'd been on the job almost a year in 1978.
Some friends at work decided to put together a band to do a few tunes for the company Christmas party in the cafeteria. They asked me to help out. I'm not a musician. I've done roadie stuff, sound, some recording, and some CD mastering. I have had a keyboard or two just to mess around on. At the time, I had an Elka Rhapsody string synth and they talked me into trying to play Nights In White Satin. They had a really good flute player and the song was perfect to showcase him and they thought I could muddle through the string parts.
So, we're playing the song. It didn't sound half-bad. We're in the middle of the flute solo and someone in the cafeteria turned on this conveyor belt that takes dirty dishes to be washed. Well, that belt wasn't supposed to be in use and we had several amps placed on it! We had a momentary train wreck while people scrambled to save the amps. But the flautist and the bassist kept playing and the rest of recovered fairly quickly and the belt got turned off right away. I think I have a cassette of the performance around here someplace. I should find that thing and transfer it to digital.

Moderately old, or middle-aged. Old enough to have had many good experiences, but too old to remember them all.
