I've just heard Black Betty and couldn't help but think of home. It's a silly thought but sometimes I wonder what would happen if all my made families would meet. Even though we have been through extraordinary things I think my friends from back home would have a hard time believing my life here.

	Some how I don't think you're talking about the band... Though Ram Jam is easily one of the best songs. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am! The van which we used was named after it. My friend Liam named it that way because it was black and had 'Betty J Cleaning Service' written on it. He loved oldies. We listened to a lot of them. It feels so far away now. They will always be fond memories. Not everything was good but the good parts, like the music, were really good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. I missed music a lot when things went bad. Ram Jam was one of the songs that would make my Mom forget, and actually smile. We'd dance in the living room when my Dad was at work, or off on a bender. Everything around it was bad, but for those two minutes and twenty five seconds, we could forget just how bad it was.

	It's a song that can really make you forget, isn't it? My friends used to sing along with it. Sometimes forgetting everything around you is the best you can do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is! My mom would sing with it too. Sometimes two minutes and twenty-five seconds is all to keep on trucking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes! Sometimes you just need to be reminded that there is something worth living for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've been gone away from there for ten years now... It's been longer for her. I have to wonder if she thinks about Black Betty at all.~~Or me~~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Haha exactly what I was thinking! I’ve got that stuck in my head now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, I could die happy with that song stuck in my head. (Reply to this) (Parent)
