About this episode
Summer of 1980 By Steve Adams.
While browsing through some 1980’s hits on my streaming service, I found and listened to “Upside Down” by Dana Ross. In 1980, I was 14, transitioning into high school, and, as luck would have it, was invited to spend a week with my cousin in the city.
For a whole week, I got to swim every day at the pool and we toured many of the places in the city that I found interesting. I learned to love Whistle Pops and eating copious amounts of food at the mall’s buffet. One morning, my uncle took us to get sausage gravy at a local restaurant. As we rode, that song was on the radio with my cousin and I singing along as the wind blew through our hair.
In the summer of 1980, my world view expanded greatly and I got my first taste of life outside the small farming community where I grew up. Music is a powerful mental trigger and, to this day, that song reminds me of a MAGICAL week in the city.
