Your poem made me smile and reminded me of those growing up films. I can see the sunshine and the sepia tone and the happy time before adulthood took them away. <br /><br />Thank you for the video, too. The music is familiar (in the English version though). :-) And yes, I remember Unchained Melody and the Summer Place - they came before me but they are timeless.

In the East Coast, one does not understand how different the Northwest is, and must have been back then. I especially liked the images of the sunbathing and freckles--which were of course abhorred then--and the bigger little town across the way with the steamers. A really vivid and beautiful tableau.

Hadn't thought about them in a long, long time. Funny, isn't it, how music can transport a person back to the past and make it live again.
