Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Whoa is right. Wow, I truly miss your wonderful stories. Especially those about Zoe. You do have a zest that comes out when you write about her, and every time I read one of them, my heart breaks for you. But then you already knew that. I did love hearing about the different kinds of music that you listened to and still do.
And of course it only made sense that you both would love Cat Stevens. I did too, and especially, "Cats in the Cradle." What an awesome bunch of memories you shared here. I think that short era in the mid seventies was especially a time when people getting married would use the Wedding Song. I don't know if I have listened to it since our wedding. In fact as you name so many, I think I may have to be calling on Alexa to play some of those oldies for me today. I just bought a really cool lamp that is about 5 ft tall and it shows many different colors through the shade that is the entire size of the lamp. But you can hook it up to Alexa and the beat will show in the colors of the lamp. It should be pretty cool for the best music ever that we were privileged to have in our younger years. Once again, thank you for giving us this treat today, and I will be yearning for more. So I will just have to deal for a witty pm or email here and there, and hopefully if we are lucky, you will find that you miss it as much as we miss reading yours. Thank you for sharing another piece of Zoe with us, and love that you loved traveling too. I am thankful that you have so many wonderful memories and that they will keep you close to her all the days of your life, until you are together again. Thank you Terry. This made my whole upcoming week.

Bittersweet ending. Your love for Zoe shines through this piece. A never-ending love. How lucky you were to have that, to know that, if only for a minute. Her departure was a tragedy, but her presence was a gift.
Sending you good thoughts.

I am so sorry for what must be an incredible loss. It sounds like the two of you had a wonderful, loving and musically adventurous time. I love music as well. I still harbor the expiring hope of having at least one song that I have written recorded. It os so hard being the survivor in such a loving relationship. As much as I want to live forever, should I be forced to be a survivor in my own relationship, I have no idea what I will do, how in God's dear name will I make it? I do not know.

Great writing Terry.
The euphoric rise and the climatic fall (for which, my condolences), is musical in its construction.
Added to which you are one of only a handful of people who openly confess to having had 8 track!
Modern music is the backdrop for many of us: it has given you a wonderful canvas for you memories.
I wish you well with your continued writing.
cheers

I'm sorry for your loss of Zoe. She sounds like a great person and a lot of fun.
Our tastes run a little different, but I certainly listened to all the ones you mentioned. I envy your concert going, though I did get close to the stage for Merle Haggard.
Best wishes.

Those are lovely memories of Zoe and the music in your life. I've never been to a concert. I just didn't want to deal with the crowds. I love all music except opera. You did a great job. Have a blessed Sunday. Shirley

This is a very nostalgic piece Terry, I'm sorry you won't be writing much, if at all, I think writing Is therapeutic if nothing else. You must miss your dear wife, I don't know what I would do without mine, this bed that I'm reviewing and reading has a very sleepy person, and a small dog on it, a comfort, beautifully written Terry, blessings Roy

Terry, this is a stunning tribute to your lovely wife. It sounds as if you had a wonderful life together and all the wonderful music was the soundtrack. This post gave me chills at the end.

I am glad this story informed you that it needed to be told because it did. Thank you for listening. Often stories tell us when and how they need to be written. This one wrote itself.
