Having a birthday right after the holidays (January 2) meant money was especially tight,
but my mother always made sure I had a present. I loved music so a record player was the
best gift ever!
Along with the record player, I got a 45 record titled "All I Have to Do is Dream" by the Everly Brothers. I had never heard the song, but with only one record, I played it over and over. Although it is a love song, I didn't think of it that way. Maybe it was because the word dream (one of my very favorite words) is repeated over 30 times. For eleven-year-old me, it was about dreams and making them come true. Even now, the song brings back memories of dancing across the living room floor singing, "Dream, dream, dream..." I was (and still am) a dreamer who loves to imagine "someday."
Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy, 2024. May all your dreams come true!
