Stories from the Military Brat Yahoo Group: St Moritz First Date Hey Jude

Favorite music definitely Crimson and Clover and Hey Jude

 

I told these story before, but Hey Jude was the song that I danced to on my first Date. And get this... my first date was in St. Moritz (Switzerland).  My family was on vacation there. I met another brat and he asked me out. He was older (maybe 15 or 16) and we went to a discotech (sic) where we thumb wrestled and talked about how the candles made our contacts cast halos... and he also told me I slow danced like I was going to a fire...

 

Crimson and Clover reminds me of summer camp in Davos Switzerland. Echoed anyway, but it resounded through the old hotel lobby that served as the camp. The song 2525 played also that summer and I remember listening to it thinking it was dumb 'cause it was an AM song and too Bubble Gum for me as I rode in a van from Davos to Lake Lucerne for a day trip. Only no one told me where we were going )International camp very little English spoken) and I was dressed for snow in August in Switzerland and landed in Italy and 90 degree weather... and the song 2525 and C and C reminds me of all that... and the little English boy I had a crush on...

Ahhhh
