Before I go looking for a song...I'll let you know where my life was in 1983...On April 11,1983 I was giving birth to my first child..my daughter. Everything was so new and exciting for me. I was so into raising her that I rarely listened to music..so finding a song for this challenge should be very interesting.

Awwww, how special was that year to you!!!! :) Well I was 12 years old, in the 6th grade and meaner than a striped snake, because I grew up with two brothers on a farm way up here in the mountians of NC. I did't let them two meanies run this country gal over! lol I have a picture to share with you later. It would be fun to share a photo of yourself in 83 if ya have one :)
We'll be back later on tonight! Have fun!

Time for my bed... But I shall look forward to having a go at this after some much needed sleep! lol!
In 1983 I was 14 to 15 yrs old, and at that time I used to help out when the Funfair came too town. So many of these songs listed bring back loads of happy memories to me of hard work, loud music & most of all the exhilarating fun of working on the Fair rides & Hot dog stands!

Here's a country song from 1983. Me? I was graduating high school and going into the Navy. I had the world in front me and I thought I knew everything and found out quickly that I knew nothing at all. But I wouldn't trade the memories for anything in the world.
