Hello Cowgirl in the Sand:
A dear, dear friend sent his daughter's photo to me with this tagline... now I can't get the song out of my head!!!
Neil Young was the soundtrack of my life during the summer of 1972. I was so young and my body was strong and firm and tan. I had long blond hair hanging down to my waist which was shiny from the overabundance of chlorine and sun. I drove my car with the windows down, the radio blaring and friends piled in. I was deeply in love and didn't have a worry in the world. Ah, nostalgia!

(Nostalgia describes a longing for the past, often in idealized form. The word is a form of a Greek compound, consisting of νόστος, nóstos, "returning home", amd a Homeric word, άλγος, álgos, "pain" or "ache.")
