Aargh... met her when stationed in South Korea when I was young and had absolutely no desire to settle down. Should have married her.

1. We were playing an afternoon gig in Oberlin on the campus. An outdoor concert. After the show, we went to some girl's house for a bit (I think she's the one that hired us, she was friends with my bass player) and then we all went to some party. As usual, at these parties, I'm always alone and, basically, just sit by myself while "mayhem" of a sort, goes on around me. Well, this time, I found this cute, sweet girl at this party and we immediately hit it off but couldn't hear to talk to each other with all that music blasting loud so, I took her hand and lead her to an alcove near the front door so we could talk and make out. No sooner did I get her there and we hadn't even sat down yet when, my singer comes rushing into the room behind us and tells me that we have to leave IMMEDIATELY! I told him to wait a couple minutes but, for whatever reason, if I didn't go then and there, I was gonna be left behind!! We hadn't even been there for half an hour!! So, before I even got her name or contact info, I had to split and said goodbye to her and we got in the car and boogied!! I never DID find out why we were in such a huge rush to leave!
2. Amy Wrightmeyer. GORGEOUS, sweet, VERY friendly redhead!! I JUST left my front porch for a random walk when this girl drove by and went into the alley next to the house next to mine. By the time I got to the end of my block behind my house, she came out of the alley and came towards me and stopped to ask me where 203 Western Ave. was. I told her and she smiled and thanked me and drove to the front of my house. I wanted to get a better look at this one so, I went back to my porch and sat there waiting for her to come out. After about a dozen minutes, she did, looked over at me, smiled, got in her car and drove away. A day or three later I discovered that she was my new neighbor and was moving into the second floor apt. in Mrs. Leech's house! Although, by this time, it was owned by these two brothers, Butch and Bob.
One day, very shortly after she moved in, I was on the front porch swing just watching the world go by when she walked by, saw me on the porch smiled at me and said, "Hi!'. I retorted in kind and she started talking to me and I invited her up to the swing to sit. We sat and talked for about an hour. She was coming home from work. Every day from then on, instead of going to her place to eat or get changed, she'd come up and sit on the swing with me for an hour or two. Eventually, I found out she knew how to play backgammon so, having just learned, myself, the previous summer when I worked at Cedar Point, we'd sit on the swing and play a few games every day.
After several weeks of this, one day, she came up onto the swing and had a dour face and, the whole time, she just kept repeating that we can't go on doing this. I kept trying to figure out what she was talking about but she just kept repeating herself! FINALLY after about half an hour of coaxing, she told me what she meant. SOMEBODY had been making obscene phone calls to her every night and making them later and later each night and she was convinced that it was me that was doing it because it sounded like my voice! There's NO WAY IN HELL I could've gotten her phone number and she never gave it to me and I never even asked her for it! The ONLY way I could've gotten it is if I got a ladder, climbed up to the 2nd floor and broke into her place to get it! But, Butch and Bob lived on the first floor and would've heard me do that! Also, the last time I was in that apt. was 8 years before when I was being molested by my next door neighbor, Norbert Carr, when Mrs. Leech owned the house and was renting the out top 2 floors! Well, Amy stopped coming to see me, she stopped talking to me and she moved out a couple days later! A while later, it hit me! I'll bet it was Norbert that was calling her!! He probably decided to call up his old number to see if anyone would answer and found out it was a woman and thus began the obscene phone calls! But, by the time I came to that conclusion, she was long gone and I had no way to tell her. I never saw her again!
