Do you remember what was going on in your life when:
1)This song first came out for our enjoyment?
2) What effect did it have on you?

I'm so very sorry for your pain. 
It must have been very difficult for you to accept a loss of that magnitude.
Please tell me as much as you care to share about your job.
We've only just met, ohio. I'd like to know more.
took place on Sunday. I flew back to Van the next day Monday. At that time I managed a shoe store. When I arrived at work Tuesday morn there was a message to call my supervisor. Upon speaking he informed me that although he was aware of the reason for my absence all Managers were required to work Saturday and Monday. Since I did not I would be docked two days pay. I told him to get fucked and walked out.
I learned that a neighboring shopping center had a need for an Assistant General Manager. I interviewed for the position and although I had no experience in commercial real estate management I was hired. I went from making $10.00 an hour to $24,000.00 annually with full benefits. Within three years that grew to $40K. I worked for that firm for nearly twenty years. During my tenure I managed their flagship properties in British Columbia and southern California.
Knowing that I had left school in grade ten they paid for me to attend classes at Cal State and UCLA to earn professional designations that were required for promotion within the organization. When I left I was receiving a six figure salary, had stock options, and had been recognized with more management and achievement awards than anyone in the company.
Color me very impressed. [img]

Led Zeppelin also had a huge effect on my life. But I'm more of a romantic type of person.
So, Stairway To Heaven became another one of my play it all night songs.
The emotional and physical abuse that I experienced from
the time I was 9 until I reached the age of 17 led me to job as an investigator for CPS.
By the time I reached that job I had become as tough as I appeared to be.
Good luck on getting those tickets to see Stevie.

I picked it because that's what I want to be but it's not necessarily what I am yet.
Them Fleetwood Macs is proud of their tickets so it's still up in the air if we get to go but I think there's enough time between then and now to get it together.
The main problem is there aer several other shows I want to see in the next couple months too. Rush, Anthrax, Dropkick Murphys, Muse, Cannibal Corpse and Napalm Death, and a few others all coming soon! I need to make friends in the music bidness!
