So pop and I had a really cool moment a few days ago. I had heard Dan Fogelberg's Leader of the Band at work and was reminded of both that song and Kenny Loggins's Danny's Song. I love both of those songs, so I downloaded them that night.
I started playing Leader of the Band, and Pop was surprised...
"Great song..."
"Oh yeah? I love this song!"
"Wow... I'm... getting chills just listening."
"Yeah Pop, every time I hear this song, it reminds me of you."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Pop hums with the song...
"This is the part that reminds me of you, Pop... 'And Poppa, I don't think I said I loved you near enough'..."
Leader of the Bands ends.
Danny's Song begins...
"Oh man. This was my favorite song in college."
" 'Even though, we ain't got money, I'm so in love with you honey, and everything will bring a chain of looooove. And in the morning when I rise, y'bring a tear o' joy to my eyes and tell me... everything's gon' be all right'..."
"Do you know all the words, Nick?"
"Almost."
Pop leaves.
"Wow, this all takes me back."
"Y'know Pop, I think you did it to me. Because I love these songs too."
