This morning I responded to blog buddy Andra Watkins’ post – or at least I thought I did but it’s not there now – about my favorite song from the 80’s. I realized I could do something with this and so I think I will start a new aural tradition I will call “Saturday Jams”. Every week I will post a few songs for your consideration. They will be songs I like. I will try to choose stuff that isn’t heard on every street corner but I make no promises. So without further ado, here are my two all-time favorite songs from the 1980’s:

Happy – Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo

This song first caught my attention as the opener to the movie Summer School. If you haven’t seen the movie, I recommend it because it is just great.

Learning to Fly – Pink Floyd

You know, I actually had a lot more to this post but somehow the WordPress app lost it when I posted it, so forget it. We’ll try again next week.
