Blueberry Hill brings back fond memories.
I was a teen ager at Bible School in St. Paul, MN.
A couple nights some of us were working second shift and went to a Drive In Restaurant called Porky's Grill. There were some cute waitresses there (of course they were sinners and off limits to us young preachers) but I think I fell in love (more like in lust) but of course I was too shy to say anything or do anything or pursue it. I sang the song over and over in my mind "I found my thrill at Porky's Grill." Every now and then I see several of us guys in the car and the waitress approaches. The night air is crisp and clean. In my mind I can see her at the car window taking our order and almost smell her perfume. She's young, shapely, pretty, and over half a century later I wonder "what if.....?" and the song rings in my mind, "I found my thrill at Porky's Grill" |
You mentioned Fats Domino, and I'm all ears...especially when "Walkin' To New Awlins" is playing...
First time I heard that was while working at Pappadeaux's back in the mid-90s around Mardi Gras, and it's left a good mark in my memory of music ever since!
