My thread seems to be going off in other directions cause I would not consider some of these songs my favorite songs of all time........so consider some of these extras as you would on things like America's Top 40......hey my dream job at one time was to be a DJ or a program director for a radio station. So now those of you tuning into my site get to be the guinea pigs for that.
But there is a memory for this song for me. When I belonged to a hiking/camping group back in the 90s I met a guy named Chuck in Blowing Rock. This song was popular then. The first time I saw Chuck at the B & B he was working at I thought he was the greatest. And apparently the attraction was mutual cause we ended up getting close very fast. That night of the day I met him we went walking around in Blowing Rock at a lake. We talked about so many things and he told me he was in love with me. Of course in reality that really ended up meaning nothing cause Chuck was confused as so many of us are. I can't say I was in any better shape cause in reality I was still in love with the the guy, the "bad" relationship, I was in. I don't really know if Chuck could have changed that.
He was so much in love with me, or so I thought, we talked every night on the phone. I went back to Blowing Rock and I think I went back before he was really ready. I think I scared him off by coming back too fast. He was a shy guy. While he was at work I went to the small mall that was in Boone at the time. I bought him a teddy bear to always remember me by. I think that was too much too quick for him at the time, but I was still kind of young I guess and I didn't know any better I guess.
I did see him again and was with him again not too long after that at my house, but I never really knew what Chuck was thinking. But at one time I truly felt I was in love with him. The last I heard years ago was that he was in Charleston, but again that was years ago.
And one other thing that I will never forget about Chuck is that when the group was hiking at the rocky part beside Grandfather's Mountain, we went over a part where you had to jump from one tilted rock to another. There was nothing under that tilted rock to catch you or you would fall to your death for sure. I could not do it......I was too afraid......Chuck stood on that tilted rock to make sure I could make it across. I will never forget that.
And so here is a song that reminds me of that period of time although I think there were other songs that probably might fit better. Here is: (and another one you have to click on the link)
