Cindy, John and all the group at Cindy's Bayou Designs send out a warm welcome to Sandi Pichon

A Day Of Memories

A day of memories,
Laughter and tears
A man never forgotten
Through all they years.

A grin, a wink,
And that come-hither look
The twitch of a leg
And that's all it took.

We fell for his music,
His looks and his style
And followed his tours
Over many a mile.

There is no end,
There can be no goodbyes
For when I look back
I see those blue eyes.

So today I'll celebrate
And toast his name
Since he came on the scene
Music was never the same.

The memories are sweet
And never will die
There is no end,
There can be no goodbye.

I remember as a child I used to hear
Music that they played Lord with a feel'
Some call it folk, some call it soul
People let me tell you it was rock and roll

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
Every day when I got home I turned on my radio

Listening to the music that my idols made
I knew every single record the DJ's played
A honky tonk a Hound Dog, a Johnny B. Goode
Chain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On Wood

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll

I thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass
But the younger generation knew it would last
Time's gone by, the beat goes on
But every time I hear it Lord it takes me home

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
Every day when I got home I turned on my radio

Mother played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth
Mozart's sonatas down the classical Liszt
My papa loved to listen to his country songs
While I was in the back room rockin' on

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
