This may not sound very exciting to some people but to me it was a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.
My very good friend from school invited me to go to the movies with her to see "Mama Mia".
Of course I accepted because I was such a huge fan of ABBA and to hear their music again filled me with nostalgia.
We didn't just go to the normal theater to see it.
We had seats for "Gold Class" which allowed us to watch the movie with about 20 other people, sitting in recliner chairs and having food and wine brought to us.
If you haven't tried "Gold Class" then it is a fantastic way to watch a movie.
Needless to say that we both thoroughly enjoyed the movie and what was great was that we knew all the words to the songs, so naturally we sang along.
We weren't the only ones either! I detected a few other dedicated ABBA fans in the audience.
Hearing the music once again transported me back to the mid 70's and into the 80's when ABBA absolutely ruled the airwaves.
Their songs were always catchy and like I said earlier, we could sing along with them.
They may have faded from the scene in the 90's, but with the release of the musical and now the movie "Mama Mia", a whole new generation is being introduced to their music.
They definitely are legends of the music scene.
ABBA will always remind me of a time when I was bringing up my children, and their music helped soothe my soul when I was having a particularly rough day.
Their music will live on and on, and hopefully the next generation will also learn to love their music.
