deliriouslove1970. The life & times of Gary and Denise Flanders. (Free and worth every penny. If you would like to compliment the editor, send to garytheflan@deliriouslove1970.com. If you would like to complain, call your mother.)

It has been since November that I have written another installment of the exciting story of Flanders Music – “This is How I Remember It.”  The next episode is 1965, the year the store opened.

When I do these, I push myself backwards to attempt to see what was happening.  I try to stand outside of the action and find words to describe things that are now history.  Inevitably what happens is that I become enmeshed in feelings.  And, this is what takes me so long, I find myself attempting to sort through  words to express the emotions and I realize rather than objective, newspaper style reporting, it was a time in my life that has influenced everything I have done since.

I will write the next episode soon, in the meantime, here is something from my good friend, Paul Simon, to tide you over
