So, a first for the blog: We arrived home from the fair last night about 10 PM, and I realized that I didn’t have any song from the day in mind. To be honest, I couldn’t even remember any of the songs that I had heard.
“Do you know what songs were playing when we were driving home?” I asked Jodi.
“Not really. There was a Lumineers song.”
We had talked for most of the ride home, and between the conversation and from being exhausted from the week, I couldn’t think of one tune, much less having any sort of deep thoughts about them.
So, I thought, what songs remind me of the fair?
There are a few. Actually, there are two albums. I will write a little about one here. Maybe save the other for a rainy day (maybe Sunday).
Sometime when I was in grade school, my sister bought the album “Achtung Baby” by U2. It must have been right around the fair.
It was also the year that they were re-surfacing and doing some realignments for IL Route 40 north of Sterling to Milledgeville. So, we had to take a detour around to get to the fairgrounds, so the trip was a bit longer.
Either way, I feel like we listened to the tape every night on the way to the fair. It probably was only one night, maybe two, but in my mind, it was every night. So, the songs from that album always make me think of the fair.
