.....Well, I have a decent Lab turntable but would you believe I put it away some years ago as CD's were taking over it all and haven't had it connected since. Before that I had several AR components....AR-3 speaker systems and their turntable and have sold those Items when I updated years ago.
But still have a capable system, but no turntable connected......
I have a mess of 45's with Ken Griffin at the keyboard and I've never heard them. {Yes, I've heard K G many times on records but}, not the ones I was given a few years ago....Just don't feel like messing with all the connections to reconnect the turntable. Maybe some day.
I do love the {especially the 50's}, music. Of course it has to do with each of our ages.

He played a big music fest here in '79 or '80 - his bus got stuck in the field (farmer's, literally) behind the stage and one of our firemen pulled him out with a tractor. Did a good show, what I saw of it.

I guess us old codgers know what is best after all. I have around 2500 45s and around 150 LPs, but no turntable to play them on. Everybody take care
Tom, We don't have as many 45s and LPs as you have, but we DO have an operational
turntable for them; want to make a visit with with your records; we'll have a "Good Ole
Time"; istening to the "Good Ole Music"!!
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Far out, Mutt. I will make contingency plans for a visit.
Mookie, in a way you are correct. BOBBY'S GIRL was charted by Marcie Blane in 1962. a year or two before Leslie made the scene. Leslie indeed covered the song, but I can't find anything definite on when it was done.
Dentist quack on Tuesday, gotta spend some time in the chair. Ta

Good Tuesday morning to one and all! It is a very pleasant morning here in Louisville, with a temp of 62 degrees F. Our high today is to be 79 degrees this afternoon.
Tom, you're welcome to come visit anytime! We're always glad to see forum friends. "Enjoy" your visit to the dentist today. I'll be sure to have something soft on the menu, so you can eat.
Coffee, juices and cold and hot tea are ready. On the warmer bar this morning: oatmeal, toast, turkey bacon, sausages, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, hash browns, bagels and bear claws.
Think I'll quickly eat my breakfast, then head out to the garden, to enjoy the flowers, cool weather, and watch the trains go by. Mookie, or anyone else, care to join me?
.....It is cooler starting last evening. Now, this morning we've got 59.9 degrees. No A/C necessary. Just fresh air from open windows as it warms more this morning. Also, nice and bright this morning.
I'm surprised Tom, having done D J work in the past would let all the music of that era silent W/O an operating disc spinning machine....
Tom good luck at the dentist.hopefully it doesn't require any major engineering or canals.My brother has a large collection of goodies on lp's and 45's along with cassette and cd's. Just about everything we listened too while waking up to WOWO radio he has.(even little red barn).Yes a nice stretch of cool and dry days here in nw ohio.the trash is on the curb.will get the mower and trimmer out after my nap.Cw thanks for breakfast.Mookie some artists do covers of songs if they are done right they are great.some songs just get totally trashed by them.
off to bed.
stay safe

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
I actually have two (record) turntables now. One my son got to replace the one he broke, the other came with the hardware and software to allow me to cut my LPs over to digital (and thus to CDs, etc). Now if I can just find the time.
Cool this morning (light jacket weather). Funny how just a couple of months ago 60 was short-sleeve weather....
Daughter reports golf ball sized hail at her house yesterday (Syracuse area) - the sun shone all day here.
.....I've thought about converting some music over from records to disc's, so I could ride along with some of that music in my truck...{or car}, but like some other things, it hasn't been done.....
Good afternoon, folks! Tuesday Produce went well today. We got potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes (from a local farmer), lettuce and strawberries. Only had about 51, 52 people show up today. And everyone was on their best behavior! Love days like that.
For lunch and supper today, I've fixed a big ole pot of vegetable beef soup, and your have your choice of crackers or cornbread to go the the soup. Tomorrow, I'll be making more cornbread, and fixing a big ole pot of beef stew. Got plenty of carrots, stew meat,potatoes, onion, etc., and will be putting some fresh diced tomatoes in it, also.
I failed to mention it yesterday evening, but Randy, glad to see that you were able to stop in yesterday! Hope you're back again real soon!
You all have a nice day, and enjoy your lunch, and your afternoon!!
Cw thanks for supper.Matt and I watched as csx worked on some track in Defiance.they had trains going by and the maw putting cars into the siding on the other side.the maw engine had a vine tied around its horn as it was pushing in cars.off to get cleaned up for work.

Had a nice and lengthy day at work... 11:30 AM to 8:00 PM. I worked the fry station for the first half and then moved to the front register. I tend to enjoy working at the cash register better than the fry station, except for when crabby/mean customers come in. There is at least one each day.
Looks like we have a good chance for thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon through Thursday morning, but decent weather overall. I hope it's nice in Branson, Missouri next week, since my family and I are going there for vacation.
Willy
Good Wednesday morning, everyone! Very pleasant, with 60 degrees currently here in Louisville; upper 50s in the outlying areas. It was so nice and cool last night, that I slept like a baby who has finally slept through the night.
Willy, hope you and your family enjoy your vacation in Branson!!
Coffee, oj, oj/tangerine, apple, pineapple, grape juice and tea are freshly made this morning.
On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: sausage, turkey bacon, hash browns, oatmeal, toast, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, bagels and bear claws.
I'll be in the kitchen, peeling and cutting up carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, and tomatoes while the stew meat is browning, so I can get the beef stew going for today's afternoon & evening meals.
You all have a great morning, and be safe and sound.
ooo....one of those, two of those, a mess of those..... and I really need a big cup of coffee.....
Willy - happy vacation. We got your rain overnite. Have not looked to see how much, but just heard rain drops on the window.
Sometimes if you are extra helpful to the crabbies, they come back and are still crabby, but they will come to you particularly cuz you are the only one that treats them nice. Maybe someday it will dawn on them to even leave a small tip for you.....
CW - think you need to refill the breakfast bar.

Well, I really should be at work, but with today's menu, I think I'll just stay here. Maybe a virtual jog trackside to watch the passing parade will help burn off some of those virtual calories.
Cool here - had to close up last night so the furnace wouldn't kick on. Forecast of showers today, but nothing major.
Gotta plant the petunias this weekend, along with all the other ongoing projects. In fact, I think I'll need to get even more!
Smells good in here CW. Time for a plateful!
Willy-Mookie has it right. If you are nice eventually their crab armor may chip enough for some humanity to show. There will always be crabby folks. It's kinda like Death and Taxes: they'll find you eventually!
I bumped into a former client of mine at work yesterday. Turns out he lives near the RoW where CN's washout occurred just south of Oshkosh. I might be able to get pictures of the site now as his land goes up to the RoW. Otherwise the only way to access it would be to trespass down the tracks. We shall see...
In 3 months and 3 days I get married...wedding plans are going ok. I think we're both getting nervous a little. We just finished registering, got the cake ordered, flower contract, DJ contract, and catering contract done yesterday. It was nice to knock those things off the list but now I'm broke!
Guess that's what's new with me. I'll lurk for a bit then off to work.
Dan
I'm so glad both my kids handled their own weddings. Dad kicked in when necessary, but didn't have to do much more than show up.
Just posted this over on the flooding thread, but thought I'd share it here, too - a first hand look at the problems on the Mississippi at Fort Madison, IA.
Edit: Just looked at the cam again - BNSF is moving traffic over the bridge there. Caught a stack/pig train with a bunch of ballast cars at the head end.
We have 74 degrees here in Sioux Falls right now, and it is supposed to warm up to about 80 this afternoon. The humidity right now is fairly low at 37%, so it's shaping up to be a pretty nice day.
I have the day off today and plan to do some cookie baking. This Saturday there is going to be a block party/reunion of a lot of the people that my brothers, sisters and I grew up with, and my sister Ginger and Donna Jones started planning this party several months ago. I have been asked to bake cookies for this event, and my sister called me last night and told me that she bought all the necessary ingredients and will be dropping them off at my front door later this morning. So it looks like I will have some work to do. I will probably produce three or four batches of cookies. And while I am at it, I will try to fill the cookie jars here in the Flat Wheel Cafe as well.

I don't know about pigs being able to fly, but according to a song that had once been recorded by the late Johnny Cash, "and pigs can see the wind."

afternoon
Cool and cloudy here in nw ohio.Willy just remember the customer is right.I worked in retail for almost 10 years.Have fun on your vacation.Looks like your rain will make it here to nw ohio for the weekend.CW thanks for supper.
That beef stew I fixed this morning, here in the Cafe/Diner smelled so good, I've got a big pot going here at home for tonight!!
Ray, if your cookies you're baking are your oatmeal and your chocolate chip, they're going to go like hotcakes at the block party! Been almost a year since I had any of your cookies. They were so good, I'm sitting here with my mouth watering.
Hope you enjoyed the beef stew and cornbread for lunch; I've got another pot on for supper in here tonight.
Dan, glad you made it back in here!! Good to know the wedding plans are coming right along.
Joe, already have a couple of containers ready for you for work tonight: they're in the fridge.
