I was so in love with Steve of The Left Banke...I wonder what he is doing today?
I have read somewhere that he did not really care for the song Walk Away Renee...
The music of The Left Banke was classified as "Baroque-Pop"
Those big eyes and bangs and tight pants were surely cute back in the day...
When I listen to Walk Away Renee I am 12 again...I had my very own Steve at that age...well, actually a Stephen. Stephen and I went to Junior High School together, and were great friends. Unfortunately we would attend different high schools, and I would never see him again. I found out last summer that my Stephen had died in a car accident a few years after high school graduation. Over the years I had tried to find him, as he had a very unique last name I thought it would be easy to make contact. Even now, after all these years, I think of my Stephen, and a few tears will slip down the side of my face.
I'm not really sure that I would want to go back to 1966, but I do like spending a little time there, in my mind with the music...and with my Stephen who is forever young and alive in my memories.
