Day 17 (45.9%)


Continuing with educational institutions, today’s t-shirt is from Boston University, where our daughter Simmie and her husband Ronen met as students.


Today’s song, “At Seventeen,” was written and recorded by Janis Ian and released as a single in 1975, reaching number one on the Billboard charts that year. Born in 1951, Ian wrote and recorded her first hit single at the age of 14, "Society's Child”, about a forbidden interracial romance.

Just a couple of more days to break the 50% mark! 

Love,


Rebecca
