1958.
I was an Army Brat, age 10, but never picked up a guitar...

“What is it that you think I’m missing ...”
Reading comprehension ...
“ thanks to my amazing library system and CD burners I have a collection of over 5,000 songs on CD”
Where does he say CD’s are better than thumb drives?
Back in the day there were no thumb drives.
That song was from the John Wayne film, “Hatari!”
I love that!
I’m hoping to do another music survey. But I have to figure how I can do it this time. I’d like to use those polling sites to help.
I’m also thinking of starting with the ‘50s this time, because it’s the oldest and I want max participation. Can’t let too much more time pass by or we’ll lose our most likely participants!
However, I need to find a good method to digitize thousands of cassettes, 78's, 45's and 33's in my collection. A Zoom audio recorder that records onto a memory card appears to be a good method.
They’re also one of the very few acts who can pull off both slow and fast styles! I find most acts cannot do this, not for me, anyway.
Who’s Sorry Now? was written by Harry Ruby and Bert Kalmer.
Today is 2021—not, “back in the day.” CD-RWs have a very short lifespan, to boot. Copying all to a bulk storage medium would allow both instantaneous access to the entire library, and the ability to make a backup.
I’d say yes, me too.
But I was satisfied with my coming of age in the ‘80s. It was the last blast of freedom, no stupid safety regulations and high anxiety limiting our fun. No helmets, no seatbelts, no “booster seats” for the car, can sit in the front and in the flat back of a real station wagon and the truck bed. Real looking guns we could actually play with, playgrounds with monkey bars and bounces platforms. Oh the horror!
My father used to mock this song by claiming the lyric “Gee Whiz” was actually “Cheez Whiz”.
And one can start by calling the Leftists the No-Fun Party.
The only fun leftists absolutely LOOOOVE is sex and drugs. Oh they love the sinful stuff that ruins people’s lives. But riding without a helmet? Go to jail!
No, it wasn't!
Island of Love--The Sheppards
Mope-Itty-Mope--The Boss Tones
Wicked Ruby--Danny Zella
You're Going to Miss Me--Connie Francis
Like I Love You--Kookie Byrnes
Goodbye, Jommy, Goodbye--Kathy Linden
I have a lot of stuff on such media. Looks like it will have to migrate.
And now, having gotten them on CD,I can play them on my stereo and convert individual tracks into MP3 format for my phone and my car's hard drive.
So I get the best sound quality at home (CD,SACD and DVD-Audio have the best sound quality) and great music on my phone and in my car.
I love music enough to have the attitude "if it's good enough to own I'll own it in its most faithful form".
I have the same attitude with videos...no streaming for me.I want Goodfellas (and many,many other films) on my shelf and in its most faithful format....meaning bluray and 4K.
But others may disagree.
