26. Sometimes a Fantasy Is All You Need

26. "Fantasy" by Aldo Nova

My favorite memory of this song happened at a Boy Scout Order of the Arrow campout at Little Lemhi.



I was there as one of the scouts that told all the new initiates (which included Sam Gunter and Chris) what they had to do for their work projects. After the ceremony where we took all the new initiates out to a place where they had to sleep by themselves (I made sure Chris had a good place to sleep), the leaders put the rest of us in the main lodge to sleep for the night. One kid a little older than me had a tape player and the "Aldo Nova" album. I remember all of us lying in the dark listening to this song and wondering if the leaders would come in and make us turn it off. They didn't. So now every time I hear the song, it triggers memories of Little Lemhi and all the scouting adventures I had there, which were quite a few.

And now, to introduce the song, is Casey Kasem.
