The first year at Cumberland College, I attended my very first concert on campus.  I was just a hillbilly in the big city of Williamsburg.  At least that's how it felt to me.  So when Kenny Rogers and The First Edition performed, I thought I had died and went to Heaven!

Wow...a lifetime ago!
My dad graduated from Cumberland in 1969. I followed suit more than a decade and a half later. The first time I was ever on campus was the summer of '69 when dad took me to class with him one day. Lot of special memories from there. So you probably graduated around '74.  1974 was one of my favorite years, especially for music. I had a huge crush on Olivia Newton-John that summer. I listened to AM radio all summer long, soaking up all those wonderful songs. My sweet mama was only 30 years old that summer. Still hard to believe she's gone now.  These two songs always come to mind from that special year:
