As big a WZ fan as I have always been, I actually like this version better.

Back in '78, I was on a date with a girl that worked as a secretary at a big bank.
We went to a different club than usual, and after under an hour, we decided our regular joint was cooler.
So, we left to go there.
When we got there it was packed & my usual table was occupied. So, we went to sit at a table with another couple because she knew the woman from the bank. She worked there during the summers when school was out.
After 20 minutes of talking I remembering thinking "I don't want this one, and I want HER"
21 months later we got married, and last month we had our 45th anniversary!
We didn't actually switch during the date, but pretty close!

... student at Akron U. And I had a friend from across the street. We were walking down a path in a park and during it. we just realigned.

The nurses dormatory was donated by and named for the Orr family, and was familiarly known as the Orr House.

Just realized. That date was no later than 70 (Maybe it was Green Eyed Lady?). And Ronstadt released this song in the late seventies. I heard this at the apartment of a girl I was crushed on from work. I was talent on a piece she made for a class on advertising (for a fake product called "Sparrow Tarot&quot . We hit it off for about a week. Then her housemate asked my out.

I miss those days ...
