Last night, after I listened to Sheryl Crow, my Apple Music playlist just randomly plays songs. I heard this one yesterday and I finished it today and a flood of memories came back!
This memory is almost 20 years old because I was still teaching English. I think it probably had to be in 2007 or 2008? I remember Mr. Vella came to my classroom after school with his guitar.
I don’t remember the conversation, but I told him that I wanted to learn how to play the guitar! He started playing a Jimmy Eat World song. I told him that if I ever learn to play the guitar, I want to play Melissa Etheridge songs! He was totally weirded out by my answer, but I told him that I love the emotion that she sings with.
Well, I never learned how to play the guitar and I can’t sing anymore anyway. I can’t even write my name anymore! #MSucks!!! 😒😒😒…
