We were on our way to the Honolulu Zoo – walking through the edge of the concert lawn to get there – when we stopped to listen as we heard a band start its sound check. Meant nothing to me at the time, but for some reason I remember it well. Soon enough I’d recognize those opening notes:

And then there was Ethan Allen Court, where most everything had to do with Star Wars or Haro freestyle bikes with mag rims. All discussed to a soundtrack involving Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike:

When we moved, we stayed in a Waikiki hotel for a while. In the evenings, I could sometimes evade the parental leash and explore a little bit on my own. There is a section between two hotels, where a narrow concrete sidewalk separated the ocean from a poolside bar. I’d sit on that sidewalk at night, with my legs dangling over the edge. And more often than not, the bar would be playing this:

Perfect. I know how you feel about requests, but maybe some Berlin (Metro is a fav) next week?

Once again, you managed to identify one of our Friday night danceathon [semi] regulars. The kid is destined to learn all my early 80s favorites. Then again, 1981-1985 are just full of gems.
(Side note: my favorite Berlin is Sex (I’m A…). Actually, it’s most anything except their annoying song for TG)

The kid made me come back to the site, saying, “I want Black’s three musics.” Hee.
