A blast from the past.

Clubber

Florida

This evening I was driving and heard a song I hadn't heard in nearly 40 years. It was a shock to my system and memories (many good and some very bad) came flooding back.

A little history. I was married in the early 70's. After about 5 months of marriage, I had to go out of town for work for 2 1/2 months. I had yet to become fully "married" and still was on the lookout for a "mate". I met this lady at a regular club who was also married. She told me she was married, but I didn't tell her I was. Typical male, I guess. We hit is off. He had dinner a few time and met for drinks and such. She would always meet me out somewhere since I couldn't pick her up at her home. She had many sad stories about her marriage and husband.

This went on for nearly a month. One evening we were at my place and a song came on the radio, a George Harrison tune. It was one I liked and mentioned that to her. After it was over, she said it was her song to me. That proceeded a conversation about the future. She wanted me to take her away from the life she had, and home with me. There were obvious problems with this for me.

Anyway, I ended it in a not so nice way and returned home. Now this woman knew my real name, who I worked for, and where I lived. I had nightmares for months waiting on a knock on our door. Never happened.

Now the sort of point of this story is to ask if anyone has an idea of the song that played? The first correct answer will win an all expense paid trip (including club costs) to the Detroit meet up, as long as the "winner" makes all the arrangements and covers the cost.

Any ideas!
