Song 846: This week the playlist comes around to A Groovy Kind of Love by The Mindbenders, written by Toni Wine and Carole Bayer Sager, based on a melody by classical composer Muzio Clementi, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. In January of my freshman HS year in 1966, I started hearing a brain-moving trio sharing their vision of a marvelous and dandy type of affection. I already had a strong attraction to the devil's music which my parents and grandparents did not approve of, and since, during that era, I played violin for my school's orchestra, I really liked hearing a rock tune that rode on a historic classical composition! A few months before the tune started riding the charts, the young girl who had held my romantic focus for years (even though we never had a touching connection) had disappeared from my circle when her family moved to California, so I never got to taste her lips, and I was never in her arms. At the time, that departure left me feeling blue for a while!
