"Love Can Make You Happy " by Mercy

Note: I'm (Rachel) finishing this post over 4 years in the future.

As of February 2014 I was still in the process of figuring out who I was.  But I had started loving myself for the first time in the process.  When I saw myself in the mirror as a woman, was the first time in my life I loved myself and loved who I saw looking back at me in the mirror.

So love can make you happy!  I have found so much happiness since I've become Rachel!!

"This Guy's In Love With You" by Herb Alpert

I remember singing this song in my room in the house on Burch Creek Dr. in Ogden.  Crazy how many years ago that was.  It had to be around the mid-70's, so about 40 years ago...

"Glendora" by Perry Como

Trying to make a track listing of this old reel-to-reel tape

I'm writing this post (as Rachel) 6 years in the future.  I dug out that cassette a few days ago and I made a track listing for it.  I decided to post some of the songs here in my old (before I came out as transgender) blog, to work towards filling it in.

As I talked about in yesterday's post I was making a track listing for both an old cassette tape (the date on it was 29-December-1978) and a reel-to-reel tape.  This is one of the songs I found on the reel-to-reel tape.

"Dream On Little Dreamer" by Perry Como

I apparently forgot to remove the no-record tab from that cassette

I just realized something weird (or as I always say "It's all MAGIC!").  In the same week I was making a track listing for both this cassette and an old reel-to-reel tape.  I there were several songs recorded from the radio on the reel-to-reel tape and many of them were from 1965 and a couple that were older.  I'm fairly certain that tape was recorded in 1965.  I just noticed that this song came out in 1965.
