I remember sittin' in a friends, uncles car under a shade tree when I first heard this song on an 8 track tape.
I'm the only one of the three of us that day who hasn't moved on to the next world now. The owner of the car was killed in his car a few years later. The lady in the car was a life long friend who was lost to cancer when my Valk was still new to me.
Like most of us I imagine, my view into the past is pretty well bracketed by the music I was listening to and the bikes I was riding at the time.
This is still my favorite version of "House of the Rising Sun".
