Where Did You Grow Up?
FM radio was it. SPEAKING OF LOUD. We had no internet and no fragmented media channels like today. It was FM radio, baby … In DFW, those teenagers were rocking out to popular stations like Q102 and “ The Zoo.”
45 YEARS LATER … I walk our mutt dogs (and you can tell them I called them mutts) early in the morning. I naturally gravitate to a route that takes me past the house I grew up in for 20 years. Then, I head down the same street that my brothers and I traveled every day during our most impressionable years. I am a focused, forward-thinking guy. However, every day during my 30-minute walk, I do have some kind of subconscious reminiscent feeling, like I am still the same 7-year-old boy … walking the same streets with my brothers and pals of the past. Long story short, I love living in Lake County because I had great family and friends growing up here. That made me a happy kid. Now, when I walk the dogs in the morning or am just struck with the right place and time, it is like hearing my favorite song out of the blue. Makes me a 45-year-old happy kid.
Living in Lake Country for me was like being the Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn of the 1970s and ‘80s. Can’t forget moms! Like an old country song … I have to say something about mamas. There was a network of moms in the neighborhood. They were the network of eyes watching over the streets and in the greenbelts. Kids were not in their homes as much as nowadays. Our neighborhood moms had a network and paper telephone directories connected through corded telephones to track the kids. “Have you seen Gregory? “Oh, I saw him two hours ago with T.J. heading down …”
What are your favorite memories? Good vibes,
- Jeff
