I’m sure we all have a favorite...
After work, a few coworkers and I, would gather round the computer and take turns calling out our favorite tunes. Some were classic hits and others were outright oddballs that only the person selecting the tune liked.
I had about 10 old school (60’s - 70’s) songs that I would predictably pick.
Mississippi Queen was my go to song.
A Colonial style chair fell apart that had about a dozen upright dowels forming the backrest that were quickly turned into drum sticks. We annoyed the hell out of some of our coworkers that were still working their night shift, but damn it, we had fun doing it.

Randall’s Island, dude, I was there.
Great NY summer night drinking wine and smokin dubes.
Smell of incense in the air and Leslie’s Sunn amps shaking the ground.
