playlist: gelsosomo's friday night jams

when we visited my grandparents in indiana, we always walked over to tommy’s for pizza on friday night. it was the highlight of the trip. in fact, once on a friday night he called my mom and i back to the kitchen (unheard of when they were so busy) and i was so excited to go back there i forgot i had my skinny little ankles wrapped around the legs of my very heavy chair. i kid you not when i tell you that my dad and grandpa walked in to the dining room just as everyone was realizing what happened and my dad checked out my left arm, annouced it was broken, and my mom gasped “chuck! don’t say that!” and a very long car ride where we waited for trains and drove over so many tracks i can’t even explain it ensued. i’m quite sure one of these songs was playing when i fell.
