The first time I remember hearing this song was 1964.
I was on a tennis court in Abilene, Texas, with three friends:
my best friend, Stephanie,
my former boyfriend, Richard,
and my new boyfriend,
Robert.
We were "playing at tennis", as an excuse to be together.
Stephanie and Richard were a new "item",
and Rob and I were just on the verge of having
a "relationship".
Thanks to the Beatles,
the pleading lyrics and pulsing beat of
"I Want to Hold Your Hand"
communicated clearly the message of the day,
without us having to say a word.
Hand-holding followed soon thereafter!
(Thanks, guys...)
