SOUND AND VISION MEMORIES: 1969

 You Didn't Have To Be So Nice

In Fall of 1969 during my High School sophomore year, I went on a field trip to the Stratford Ontario Shakespeare festival. We traveled by train which I had only experienced once before and had never attended a theatrical play.

One of my classmates had brought a small transistor radio to have some tunes during the journey. Across the aisle and a bit kattykorner from where I was sitting, a girl caught my eye. She was new and I didn't know her but I took a shine to her as she was laughing with her pals. I remember this song was playing and I soon developed a bit of a crush. It took me a good year before I asked her out and eventually we were going steady. My first love. Gayle.
