Soundtrack from American Grafitti

       Nostalgia is a yearning for the past and is typically associated with a good connotation.  When I first heard the song, I immediately thoughts of a dinner scene from the 1950s with clean cut kids and a mom with an apron on, all  living the American dream in the suburbs with primly trimmed lawns.  Images of stay at home moms loading kids into the large family station wagon all come to mind.  When I think of my own childhood, I remember all the family vacations that my parents have taken with us.  My whole family loves to travel and no historical site is too small for us to visit.  I associate one sound in particular with these images and that is the sound of a suitcase being zipped.
