Almost on a daily basis I requested more tapes from Ardi. He next made one for me that started off with Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors before it gave way to a string of Pet Shop Boys’ songs (Always on My Mind, Left to My Own Devices, I Want a Dog, Domino Dancing). Side B had a variety of singers including Taylor Dayne (Tell It to My Heart) and Kylie Minogue (I Should Be So Lucky) before ending with Alan Parsons’ Standing on Higher Ground.
I requested a few more known tapes such as Madonna or Michael Jackson albums before I turned to Ardi to recommend some new material for me. As such I was introduced to Toto for which both Ardi and I found ourselves quite fond of the song Stop Loving You and later to another Alan Parsons’ song La Sagrada Familia. Another day he made me another album copy and said, “This is some new black girl that’s getting really popular in America. Her name is Tiffany.”
I got familiar with the content of each new album as I drove around the area. Many mornings I would take off early before the usual daily traffic would settle in. My timing along my cruising route, and choice of first album for the day, always seemed to be the same, as each day as I would reach Seyed Khandan Bridge my car stereo would be whispering “Each time the wind blows, I hear your voice so, I call your name…”
