“believe in reincarnation, but the nephews tastes remind me so much of my dad. (His grandfather)”
Don’t need reincarnation, genetics will do.
Into college football yet. UGA-Fla.?
FReegards!
My son now has my record collection from the 60’s and 70’s. He is using my Pioneer turntable that I bought back in 1978 (still using the needle cartridge from 1980) . He and his wife are really into the record thing, buying from thrift stores and online. Just glad someone appreciates the “old” stuff.
My 18 year old, beautiful grand daughter recently got a "record player" and told me about it.
I had several hundred 78 albums from the 50s, 60s and some from the 70s.
The Five Satins, the Penguins, Johnny Cash, Lil Anthony, Frank Sinatra, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and so many more.
She and her friends like the music so much and she told me that it is understandable and the slow love songs make them happy and sad {at the same time}.
She also got another coupla hundred 45s and 78s from her other grandfather.
Theres a great video of todays middle schoolers listening to Led Zeppelin, and their thoughtful reviews of the music.
Don MacLean performed American Pie for a small group of Chicago radio and college radio peeps. It must have been ‘68 or ‘69..downtown at WCFL, iirc. The record labels execs said this performance was the song’s debut in the US. Wowzer.
It’d be great to say I was blown away, but I didn’t know Don MacLean, nor could I make one bit of sense out of his classic hearing it for the first time. All of his clever lyrics were too obscure for me....and everyone else, as I remember. “Mystery” describes it pretty well.
Actually a lot of younger people seem fascinated by analog technology “””
There’s an ad running lately for a turntable that is aimed at young people. It states that “If you don’t have much vinyl in your collection yet you can stream via Bluetooth” to the turntable.
I lived there!
What jukebox firm? Making, or just parts?
I watched a YouTube video of a Zeppelin song, and read the comments. One of them said:
"My parents and grandparents got this incredible music. We got Cardi B."
“HOUND DOG” BY ELVIS WAS MY FIRST. I was sick to my stomach.
I saw Led Zeppelin in concert at the Fillmore west in 1969. It is still the best concert I’ve attended.
I can remember in my long-ago youth, being puzzled by “Pennsylvania Six-Five Thousand” as the title of a Col. Glen Miller piece (Yes, I use his rank as he died honorably while wearing it!) My grandparents used to travel with me as a child, in west Oklahoma on a single paved lane 2-way road. There was only one lane paved and if there was oncoming traffic on the paved side, you moved to the gravel.
Every generation changes but the changes have gotten swifter lately!
Thank you for that!!
Nope. For now, done with all sports, even if they come back.
The greatest part is when you get slid down the bar and the jukebox starts playing Staying Alive right after your head smashes into it.
