Last weekend, the dad decided to re-make a mix tape I had given him when we were dating in 1996. He had lost the tape but was pretty sure he could remember what was on it. He came up with about 12 of the songs, when I thought that I might have saved the tape case somewhere. Sure enough! Some of the songs - yeesh, what was I thinking - others totally funny. We were able to put together all but three of the songs.
1. Garten Mother's Lullaby, sung by Meryl Streep on the first For Our Children album. I had a tape of it and can only find the case. You can't buy the song separately and a CD was almost $80 on Amazon.
2. Take my Time by Peter Mayer (not the one who tours with Jimmy Buffett) who is a local folk singer. I had a tape of his first album which was a copy from someone at bible camp. It is not available anywhere. It isn't even listed on his website. Once I talked to his wife at the Kinko's on Snelling and Grand right before a concert, but I don't think that connection is going to get me anywhere.
3. Love Train by Holly Johnson. Also not on iTunes, although you can see the video on YouTube. I spent a J-term in the Soviet Union and the girls I roomed with played this album all the time. I loved it. I also lost it. He was the lead singer for Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Does the mention of that band make anyone else think of the scene on Friends when Ross and Rachel break up and he takes back his Frankie says Relax t-shirt? The CD was $.01 and Amazon. Look what came in the mail yesterday!
