Music Response Blog #2

Songs from American Graffiti

What is nostalgia? What images come to your mind when you hear this music (be specific and paint me a clear picture). What images pop in your head when you think of your childhood? What smells, sounds, and feels are associated with those images?
Nostalgia are memories that you want to experience again, you remember the good things and forget the bad so it becomes the "perfect" memory. When I hear the first song I picture two people doing a Lindy Hop in the middle of a diner, everyone  around them is watching and cheering for them, its like a dance competition. When I think of my childhood, I think about when I used to walk home from the bus stop with two of my neighbors. It makes me feel happy because we would just talk about nonsense and tell jokes. I remember our laughter when one of us would trip or say something funny.
