PAST MEMORIES, POM POMS, AND PLAYOFFS

Those who know me well know that I don't keep a lot of stuff, I'm not a pack rat; but I do have a small box of keepsakes. Inside this box are items that may be found in your memory safe as well - a love note from a special relationship, a picture from a happy memory, souvenirs that were chosen to help us remember special moments, to freeze time, or to act as a time machine to take us back to relive the emotions from times gone by - seashells, rocks, pressed flowers.

One of the prized items in my memory box is a mixed tape, which many of you may have as well; but instead of sappy love songs put together by a previous boyfriend, my mix tape was created by me and contains songs from 1986 and 1989, remakes of songs actually. My mix tape is a tribute of Flames playoff songs, my favourite being the "Flaming C Arena". Tapes and tape players are more or less obsolete now, but they have been replaced with something even better - You Tube. Now, not only can we listen to these tribute songs, but the amateur artists have created videos as well - fantastic! My mom sent me this Flames song via the Calgary Herald, hope you enjoy. GO FLAMES GO!
