Happy Friday!



Billy Ocean was the first concert I ever went to. I was eleven {wait, maybe I was 8} and in Oregon with my family visiting my Uncle Bob {I mean, who doesn't have an Uncle Bob?} and we went to some fair and Billy Ocean just so happen to be performing.

My uncle carried me on his shoulders so I could see ...so I must have been 8 or younger because Uncle Bob is not a very tall man and I would have squished him if I were eleven.

I heard Caribbean Queen while flipping stations in the car this morning and you'd think I would have changed the station - but no. Not only did I leave it there, I TURNED IT UP! And proceeded to sing it out! And then I realized that I didn't really know the words to the song. But I sang it anyway. And then I couldn't stop laughing. And if I'm laughing while stuck in traffic @ 8:42am, I know it's gonna be a great day.

Happy Friday!

This song, at the time, seemed kind of exotic---kind of like a song you would hear on vacation. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Have a great weekend!

Seriously, that song ROCKS. I would have turned it up too.

I do not have an Uncle Bob. In this case, "Uncle Bob" is actually "Father Bob." Lol.
