What year were you born? What are your outside interests? What happened the year you were born in the world of your outside interests? What connections can you personally make to the impact these events may have had on your life? For example – maybe there is a reason beyond pop-culture that “Respect” is a favorite song for me to play for you--- maybe I heard it often as an infant? Or – There’s probably a good reason that it is easy to get the melody “Up Up and Away” stuck in my head… Did you discover surprises? I did– I thought “Respect” was from the early 1960s. I did not know that the Super Bowl was first broadcast the year I was born.
