78 Special
July 31, 2009
Before I go I have to post this video from Youtube channel 78s4FR. Not only is it a classic old song by Jimmie Rodgers, but it is on a 78. Beauty.
JIMMIE RODGERS – ‘Kisses Sweeter Than Wine’ – 1957 78rpm
p.s. This Jimmie Rodgers was born the same year (1933) that the “other” Jimmie Rodgers known as the father of country music, passed away.

L’argent
February 21, 2009
Sometime around 1973, the music that we were used to and experiencing, died. Like the parrot on the Monty Python skit, real music was deceased, passed on, no more, ceased to be, expired, gone to meet its maker, a stiff, bereft of life, it rests in peace!
Big business was taking over. Along with the death of real, emotional, gut-wrenching, exciting, meaningful music, the hippie culture disappeared. So did the anti-war protests, anti-pollution campaigns and an open desire for peace and love.
All gone for the addictive love of money.

Ford Top

I saw one of these Ford hard top convertibles at a fast food restaurant a few months ago. The guy climbed in, revved his motor and put the roof up just like in the ad. People just stood and watched and actually clapped at the end of the performance. Beautiful. But it probably cost him $15 in gas.
