DAY SIXTEEN: Song that’s a Classic Favorite
Eagles – Hotel California
Growing up, my grandpa picked us up from school every day. And instead of listening to the station that played the Black oldies, like one would assume, my grandpa listened to Lite 96.1, which played lite classic rock. It was my first introduction to the music of that kind, and although it was different I grew to love it and sing alongside my grampy. Hotel California was one of our favorites. At the time, I didn’t know who The Eagles were or that the song was deemed a classic; I knew that it was a song that made me happy and made my grandpa smile on our daily venture to his home. Whenever I hear it now, I can see my grandpa nodding his head along to the beat and tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. If I could turn back time I would sing a little louder with him and appreciate the music that he found such joy from.
