Talking Heads - Live At Central Park New York, NY August 27, 1980 - Full Concer
I was half way through listening to The Talking Heads song "Once in a Lifetime," from the 1980 album Remain in Light again and realized that I was probably one of the very few individuals who have seen water flowing underground.I just happened to think that I cannot remember even one person in either scout troop and it more than likely disbanded many years ago. My family only lived there less than two years.When I was about twelve years old I lived in Huntsville, Alabama, "The Rocket City!" I went on a Boy Scout camping trip with Troop 378 or 379 (I can't remember which), spelunking down into one of the vast limestone caves that cover Northern Alabama. After a long hike down and going deeper down with ropes a couple of times, we stopped by a fast moving river with the water as clear as glass. We unrolled our sleeping bags and slept the whole night a few feet from the water in pitch darkness. "Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground"
Note: Regarding the the Scout Troop, it had grown so big that they had to cut it in half and a successive number was assigned. I cannot remember if the cave spelunking trip was before or after the split.

Nice! If I didn’t have too many t-shirts as it is, I’d have to get one.
Very cool!
Music is a time machine, and indeed, this is one song that will rocket me right back to the 1980s.
We live in HSV now. I’ll have to see if this experience is still available. Thanks for sharing it!
Ha! Made my morning, thanks!
I still use my Cerwin Vega towers awesome 🤪
In fact I gave an arm and a leg for the pair about a dozen years ago downward facing sub rear tweeters ald adjustable
Still have four Kenwood 100-watt, 30” tall speakers from mid-70’s. Not hooked up to anything, but they make a fine stand (below the widescreen TV) to hold other electronics.
“You may ask yourself...”
I once had the 777's
Mine still work fine, and much better than a blue tooth Bose costing as much.
Had to look at the back of one...KL-777A. Also measured it...25-26” tall.
Those things would rock the house! Hooked up to a Pioneer QX-949 MW/FM Four Channel Quadraphonic Receiver and a Dual 1229 turntable.
The receiver and turntable are long gone. :¹(
Klipsch KG-4s and a Kenwood 80 WPC amp. The difference is that I stream Amazon music through the TV into it.
I got mine at the BX at Lajes Field, the Azores.
