First Slow Dance?

Yeah.

Mine was Stairway to Heaven.

No kidding. Awkward longest slow dance song in the entire universe that ends up rocking? Yeah, no kidding that was my first slow dance.

I was a late bloomer, very late… hardly shy but EXTREMELY insecure when it came to, came to…boys. (Eegads!) For most of my middle school years I hid from the boys during slow songs so I wouldn’t have to feel sad when no one asked. Better to avoid…

DEAR GOD  I HAD THIS AVOIDANCE BEHAVIOR PERSONALITY SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCES WITH BOYS?

Yep.

Old habits die…never.

ANYHOW in HIGH SCHOOL (dance in the cafeteria) when a nice boy (who was a friend) asked me to dance, um, a slow dance. Um…sure, right?

But for the fact it was STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN.

6 minutes in I knew it was a memory that would last a lifetime.

And here I am. Listening to Led Zeppelin psyching myself up for the concert with the BPO this Friday and all I can think of is that awkward slow dance.

Betcha can’t guess who the boy was?

In fact, I wonder if HE even knows he was my first slow dance. (He might now after seeing this post.)
