Music has always been a big part of my life! I love to listen to music and often listen to music today while I work on other things! I always have the radio on when I am in the car. The other drivers are always thankful when I have the windows rolled up because I can’t resist singing along with the radio (and I don’t have a good singing voice!)
I was reading other bloggers post and came across Liblady’s Genealogy Blog post with her time capsule post and I decided to do the same thing. The time capsule website was http://dmarie.com/timecap/. I am using my birth year, the year I started college, and the year I started graduate school

Week #26 – Songs
Week 26. Songs. What was the #1 song during the week of your birth? Enter your birth date at This Day in Music (http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/birthdayno1) and find out. If you were born before 1946, you can enter the year of your marriage, the birth dates of your children or some other significant event.
This challenge runs from Saturday, June 25, 2011 through Friday, July 1, 2011.
Enjoyed seeing your Time capsule, but you did make me feel “old”. When “I heard it through the Grapevine” was hot, I was married with children. That means I am old enough to be your mother. That song brings back many, many memories. We had a group in our community, dress up like grapes, and perform the song for the kids.
Thanks for the memories.
