When I was in elementary school, the class took a ride on "The Belle Of Louisville"
For those who don't know, it is a steamboat that will be celebrating 100 years of existence this year.
Anyhoo...
I was standing in the rear of the boat and a song was playing..."I'll Take You There", by The Staple Singers. All of a sudden, a big kid comes up behind me and pushes me...almost into the big paddle wheels of "The Belle."
A teacher grabbed me and the bully and I was saved!
I will always remember that boat trip when I hear that song.
Music really is the soundtrack of our lives...
