Don't Know What You've Got...

('til it's gone)

I remember hearing Cinderella for the first time. I thought, "Wow...Frank Oz, the voice of Grover on Sesame Street singing in a hair band"! Tom Kiefer's voice really cut through the mix.

For me, a good song evokes some kind of memory. I remember slow-dancing to"Don't Know What You've Got ('til it's gone)" one Saturday Night at Reflections at Main and Auburn. The other participant of the dance, her name was either Shelly or Kelly...something like that. I had just met her through a friend of a friend of Rick the DJ.

The song started and she gave me that look. Guys, you know "The Look". So next thing I knew I was belly-rubbin' with this gorgeous woman,remembering I was late meeting another young lady over at The North Main Tap. I had considered walking across the street and then going back and forth all night like some Three's Company episode, but instead asked for her number and moved on. 

That song and that girl was on my mind the rest of the night. Three days later I gained the courage to call her. It's not that I was afraid to call a woman on the phone; I just didn't remember her exact name. That turned out to be okay because the number she gave me was the direct line to the County Morgue. I found out later that she pulled the same thing on a couple of my buddies.

 

You can hear Cinderella's "Don't Know What You've Got ('Til It's Gone)" on Friday 11/07 as we listen to 1988 on the 9@9.
