WINTER 1984

It's almost Christmas.
Every single Christmas, since 1984, when I hear Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas, I think of my good friend Parker Young.
I just heard it today and was transported back to 1984 again.
It's funny how one memory can trigger another and thankfully these are some of my all time favourite memories.
When I hear Band Aid, I think of Parker and then I think of this SONG.
Every Saturday morning, during the winter of 1984, my alarm clock woke me with that song.
Parker and I spent those Saturday's freezing on the ski hill.
We were awful skiers, terrible at listening to the instructors and never really mastered the timing to get on the chair lift.
Much to our instructors frustration, our only goal was to look cool standing around on our skis.
It was on that ski hill that we first met "our" The Geek.
If I made a Parker & Libby Soundtrack for the winter of 1984, THAT song would be the first on the album (did I say album? HA)
Merry Christmas Parker Young, make a wish....I have a feeling it's well on it's way to becoming true.
