These are some the songs that were on my first "mix tape" and it usually closed the deal.These songs were popular when I was Junior and Senior at Oyster River High School in 1981 and 1982, and every time a hear just one note of these songs, I'm transported back to the front seat of the 1970 Pontiac Le Mans .

The car only had an AM radio, so I had to bring my Panasonic cassette player to set the mood with my date. I just had to make sure I had fresh batteries at all times.

When the Le Mans was the only available option, a drive to Rye beach was my go-to place. I had to rely on either my car, or my friend's apartment, as neither my folks or my girlfriend's parents seemed to ever leave the house.

So get with your significant other, dim the lights, and pop a breath mint.
