"Imagine" ( 2nd Blog Post)

     If I could bottle up one memory to save and re-live later, it would be of the time I sang in New York's Central Park. I remember stepping into the tunnel across from the fountain, and at the end of the tunnel was a set of stairs. Our tour guide was telling us some history about Central Park when at the top of those stairs was a tile mosaic circle with the word Imagine written across the middle. When we came to the circle, our tour guide explained that John Lennon wrote the song Imagine, then asked if any of us listened to The Beatles. At the time, I was into all kinds of classic rock, from The Rolling Stones to Queen and all the way back to The Beatles. Everyone on the trip new that so I was nominated to sing a Beatles song, but I had no idea on which song to choose, so the tour guide began to suggest songs like Ticket to Ride, Yellow Submarine, Hey Jude, and many others. We finally settled on Here Comes the Sun, so I began to sing and that was that. A great moment I would gladly love to re-live.

  1. If I had done that I would've chosen that too.

  2. In your first sentence I do not think that the word of is needed. Also, in the sixth sentence a comma was needed. Overall your memory seems like one you would treasure forever. How did you feel when singing? How many people did you sing in front of?

    1. Um.... Maybe forty, fifty people? It felt pretty nice but I was kinda nervous at the same time.
