Becomes Something New..by Michael

Dorothy grew up in the late 50's attending public school. The early 60's were spent in high school as the late 60's concluded college. It was during those years when music and performers made a huge impact on our tastes in songs. We all had our favorites, usually with one tune in particular that stuck in our minds. The mid 70's changed the theme with disco music as the dance craze took over. She went along with the flow although not really liking it. The 80's brought funny looking hair styles and outfits to go along with the funny sounding songs. Then for Dorothy the music totally died when punk rock, hip hop, and rap destroyed her sense of quality songs of themes and lyrics, and voices. Thank goodness for a few oldie stations on the radio where she could remember when music was music. Finally oldie concerts emerged with groups now older, but never forgotten. She attended one of these as four of her favorite old time groups were performing. The last act was done by Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, better known back in 1965 as the "Righteous Brothers". The song was a number one hit called "Unchained Melody". Danny whispered to himself from the seat next to her, "Wow, my all time favorite song". Dorothy hears him and was totally shocked that is was hers also. She told him about it and they just stood up in the narrow aisle between the seats in front of them. Nobody noticed them slow dancing to their favorite song as it was too dark to see. I guess a fond memory occurred between both of them. The response seemed like the natural thing to do. Two years later they repeated what was done before. The oldies band played their wedding song, this time on a dance floor where everybody joined in. Maybe we grow up with songs that have meaning to us. Then somebody else feels the same way as it is shared. A magical moment from a small aisle at an oldies concert. Case in point in a short love story where something old becomes something new....
