Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Friends of the Doctrine Jen ( My Skewed View ) with the help of Kristi ( Finding Ninee ) do this thing every Tuesday called Twisted MixTape Tuesday (currently # 8 with a bullet)
Each week a theme/motif/rationale… something common, perhaps not so common, that we, all of us, experience in our efforts to find our way through life. It seems that there are times in life when events gather music to itself, forming a bond between memory and emotion, incredibly rich in detail, often the very sketchiest of memories and most of the time, these bonds are formed with not the slightest awareness that it is happening. Sometimes years pass and the event (a relationship forms or dissolves, friendship begin or end, people are born and loved ones die) is nearly forgotten, and then a song comes on the radio and the next thing you know you are back there…feeling and re-living.
Allman Brothers ‘It’s Not My Cross to Bear’

Love the Allman Brothers and Hall and Oates, too. Seriously great picks and love seeing who picks what for this challenge on Tuesdays now!! :)
@Janine
(given your crazy schedule…. lol) will you be participating in this thing today? Thank you, as always
Love Hall & Oates! Good choices!
@Kate
yeah, this song totally linked to a major life-event…kinda wrecked the enjoyment of the song for a while lol
Well anything with the Allman Brothers jamming some serious blues has my vote. Pour your heart out! Almost used she’s gone, went with Sara Smile instead… perfect choice, even though Daryl looks like a girl. Sorry Daryl, you don’t look like a girl anymore. My husband is a huge Humble Pie fan, love it! We have really similar tastes, love your lists!
@Jen
…yeah, finally can enjoy some of these songs. I actually have made a point to tell myself (in the middle of ‘huge’ events) to be careful what I listen to … in order to not ‘ruin’ any favorite songs. I’m not a clark, am I? lol
I had completely forgotten that Hall N Oats even existed – so much of the music that meant the world to me when I was younger has completely gone off my radar. Love that you linked up again and you are so right that music does a powerful and amazing job of forming a bond between memory and emotion. Well said, Clark!
Good call too on not letting Scott play – he’d have wanted Baby Got Back in here or something. :D
@Kristi
shh (…best to let sleeping… lol) Now you do have me thinking what would (my) scottian aspect consider a good song in reaction/response to being broken up at… (more to follow)
This would mark the first time in the History of Tracy that someone has put any song of Humble Pie’s songs on a list. You win the internet today. Also. Nice list. :)
@Tracy
very cool… thank you for that (if you would like one of the (few) remaining Wakefield Doctrine docTees nearly totally free and sent to you… let me know, in whatever manner you are comfortable in doing..
Coolholio! Alas, I didn’t make it to participate but I hope you’ve have a fabulicious day! …while I enjoy making up more words to add to our overstuffed English language…
lol
ah man the allman brothers “not my cross to bear”-GREAT one! wish I had thought of it in my youth. Oh such a heavy heart when I hear “she’s gone”. I have a few songs and there may have been one on my list I still have a hard time listening to since it evokes memories I’d rather not have retrieved.
@LM
exactly! amazing how long the association remains (both good and bad…mostly the bad, lol)
Must admit, I don’t know any of these songs or bands, but I am completely in love with Ola sitting there on the couch. Totally in her element…queen of the couch for sure. :)
@Melanie
Ola was amazing for her ‘self-assuredness’ and confidence!
I could see the beer bottles lined up next to the record player as I read/listened to these choices.
Awesome work here.
@Lance
lol (and don’t forget the black light and the incense )
will get back to you later today… lol
I love the Allman Brothers! Love. Great choices. And Humble Pie – excellent!
I agree that a song can send you right back to that heartbreak or joy you felt over someone.
@Jean
yeah…amazing power (through whatever it (a song) links to (an event))
