"Couple In A Strong Wind"
My wife & I wired our clothes to look like they were blowing in the same direction (my necktie straight out to the side, her dress blowing up to reveal her underwear). She had a purse that was spilling, with contents glued together to look like they were tumbling out, and wore a wig that she sprayed to look windblown. I had a fedora pinned to the side of my head and carried an inside-out umbrella. We won "Best Couple Costume" at a party we went to.

My dirty first memory
I was sitting on my mom's lap in the front seat of the family car. Dad had parked in front of our new house, which was under construction. My mom lifted me up so I could see over the dashboard. I remember thinking: our house is made of dirt? I couldn't see the foundation that had just been poured, because of the huge pile of dirt right in front of it.
I guess we got out and walked around to look at the new foundation. But I don't remember that.
So my first memory is of a pile of dirt. My parents tell me I would have been three years old at the time. 1959.

The louder you crank D'Angelo, the more layers you hear. The Yessongs version of "Heart of the Sunrise" begins with Stravinsky's glorious "Firebird Suite" and has a bass solo in the middle that sounds like it's played by a giant on suspension bridge cables. And then of course The Beatles, from John's spooky, lovely opening lines to the fabulous car-wreck crescendo and a dozen pianos crashing at the end.
