[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

The boy is completely fixated on “Good Golly Miss Molly” by Little Richard. I’ve just played it about about 30 times in a row.

“‘Gen, Daddy! ‘Gen!”

For about 10 or 15 years, I’ve been carrying around a ripped sheet of cardboard with—no doubt—an older version of this exact diagram that marco posted. I tied a Four in Hand for my whole early life because it was all I knew. I switched to a Half Windsor when I found this card attached to—if memory serves—a tux I was renting.

With the paltry few ties I knot a year, it took me those 10 years to memorize the Half Windsor, but I still always pack this card as a cheat because I’m always terrified I’m going to forget. My card just has the first three. I may spend the next 10 years memorizing the Shell Knot, now that I’ve got that Half Windsor down!

Damn. I wish I’d thought to commemorate the moment as lonelysandwich did.

If You Want My Love (You Got It) by Cheap Trick

I remember being—strangely—completely mesmerized by the lamps swinging to the beat.
