This week's jukebox music theme is Personal Playlist, the music of our own lives. I was 49 years old when I finally met Brian, at a time when I never expected to fall in love. We were together for 15 years, until he died of covid in 2024. Unlike the family I grew up in, Brian was not personally musical, and didn't have favorite albums or musical enthusiasms. But one of our favorite regular dates during our years together was going to free outdoor concerts.
We took our folding chairs down to Ontario Beach park in the summer, to eat ice cream and listen to the bands playing in the gazebo. If there was a slow dance number, Brian would have to dance with me. So here's a mellow one for you, Brian, in memory of those summer nights dancing at the beach - "You Are the Sunshine of My Life", sung by Shirley Bassey.
"You are the sunshine of my life,
That's why I'll always be around.
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever, you'll stay in my heart."
