Who Eased Minds Best?
There are many things about being a kid that one never forgets. For example, I will never forget being 11 years old in the spring of 2001 and sitting in the passenger seat of my aunt’s black Nissan, eating my medium-sized cup of French Vanilla ice cream mixed with gummy bears. We were parked in front of a now long-gone Baskin-Robbins shop almost hidden inside a shopping center near Desert Inn and Sandhill, not far from the Boulder Station Hotel & Casino in the southeast corner of Las Vegas. The CD playing on the car radio was 1972’s Simon & Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits. Even 15 years later, I remember the powerful and dramatic crash that hit the la-la-lie chorus of “The Boxer.” I also recall setting my teenage romantic angst to the psychedelic sound and melody of “The Sound of Silence.” Finally, I still remember a wonderful kind of fear flowing down my spine while hearing the dramatic “Wall of Sound” force of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. It was a kind of power only matched by Art Garfunkel belting those infamous high notes in the song’s crescendo.

I Won't Be Ashamed of Love on The Streets of Philadelphia
With absolutely no disrespect to any fans of “The Day I Fell in Love” (Beethoven’s 2nd), Janet Jackson’s “Again” (Poetic Justice), and “A Wink and A Smile” from the romantic blockbuster Sleepless in Seattle, we will need to start by placing each tune off to the side for the sake of this piece.

How I Came To Love Karen Carpenter
When I was young, I’d listen to the radio. I can still remember my earliest experiences with it. I didn’t have any particular favorites at the time. The radio was something my beehive-coiffed mom used to play, and she always got excited when Diana Ross and The Supremes or Martha and the Vandellas came on. She was a big fan of Motown girl groups.
