In 1965 our senior class trip was to Washington D.C. and New York World’s Fair.

As we were waiting in Grand Central Station to board a train home to Florida. A couple of girls, one of whom was Florida’s Junior Miss began singing that song.

We were tired, had had a great time but were all homesick. The entire class joined in. We were more than 500 miles away from home tho.

I love the Rolling Stones song too!

It had an interesting “headphone” mix on the You Tube, which gave it a slightly different sound than my ears were used to hearing.

When this song was released, I was five and I still recall my baby sitter playing it over and over and wanting me to dance with her. I only put up with because I thought she was beautiful and what the heck I was a kid.!!

Homeward Bound-Simon and Garfunkel

I’m from Michigan, grew up a couple miles from Lake St. Clair and watched Great Lakes Freighters frequently. We now live in Maryland a mile from the Chesapeake. Container ships just ain’t the same.

I’m in my living room looking at a painting of the Edmund Fitzgerald envisioned a minute or so before the fateful wave. I also have a painting of another Great Lakes freighter by the same artist.

The troubadour, Gordon Lightfoot always reminds me of back home in Michigan.

Almost any Motown hit does the same. Reminds me of listening as a teenager to CKLW, the powerhouse AM blowtorch station from Windsor, Ontario

Don’t It Make You Want to Go Home - Joe South - 1969
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AirBbS4R7Z0
-
Don’t it make you wanna go home now
don’t it make you wanna go home
All God’s children get weary when they roam
Don’t it make you wanna go home
Don’t it make you wanna go home

Oh the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole
When the Georgia sun goes down
Well it’s been a long time but I’m glad to say that I’m
Going back down to my hometown

Going down to the Greyhound Station
Gonna buy me a one-way fare
Good Lord willing and the creeks don’t rise
Watch it for I’ll be right there

Don’t it make you wanna go home now...

But there’s a six lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny dipping as a child
And the drive-in show where the meadow used to grow
And the strawberries used to grow wild
There’s a drag strip down by the riverside
Where my grandma’s cow used to graze
Now the grass don’t grow and the river don’t flow
Like it did in the childhood days

Don’t it make you wanna go home now...

I never saw the (Midnight Cowboy) movie either. When it came out, I was still in grade school, and would not have been allowed to. I think the movie was an “R” or “M” rating, back when it was rare for a mainstream film to carry such a rating.

Even back in the 6th or 7th grade, I loved that music. So different than the steady diet of Motown, Soul & Beatles (& The Archies) I had grown up hearing.
By the time I was old enough, I had heard so much about the film, I was no longer curious.
