Move your feet Mutt, you have them in that sunny spot I want to take a nap in......gotta get my rug - be right back!

Mookie

Your "dogs" don't need the sun. My fine fur needs some blonde highlights!

I have every one of Simon&Garfunkels albums,except for "The Graduate",which I have on video. And yes they are are on LP's;and I guess that would be 33 1/3 instead of 78's.[:)]

We actually have 2 CD player in house;one in our upstairs bedroom,the other one in the living room.[:)]

And Mook,I've heard of "sun bleached hair",but fur?[:D][}:)]

I don't have all of S&G, but a lot of them. Also Peter, Paul & Mary, Elton John (early stuff), Crosby Stills & Nash (and CSN&Y), Don McLean ton of Beach Boys, and a lot of one-off's, some rock, some folk, some folk/rock, a little Motown. No country... Starting to get the CD versions of some of those albums... I've also got a pile of sheet music/books for most of the folk/rock types.

[Modelcar]

....Ah, that's more like it...33 1/3, now I can get back to wondering what happened to my memory....Not 78's...Thought I was loosing it. And anyone counting their CD player's can look at their computers and add another one.

[Modelcar]

...Jen....You must have had a bunch of rain this morning judging from what the weather map showed for Lincoln, Ne.....and it looks like much of it may go north of us.

Saw the weather map not long ago,and it did show rain for that area.
However,we are having about 30% of "drizzle" here now.[:)]

Hmmm - I was reading through the records list and wondering in the back of my mind if anyone remembered the old Victrola! What a beautiful machine! A true work of art!

Mook

Hmmmmmm,never owned a "Victrola",but We do have a "Singer" sewing machine that is "treadle" powered![:)]

That is very cool,I really do like the older music.
I've been able to see John Denver,live in concert;and CW & I were able to see P,P&M,live several years ago.[:)]

[8D]Larry, you're a person after my own heart! Love Peter, Paul & Mary, Beach Boys,
Motown. Do you have anything of theChad Mitchell Trio, before or during John Denver's
tenure with the group?

Now, how about some good mexican food today? How about beef burritos enchilada
style? Sounds fantastic to me. Just the right amount of spices to open the sinuses!
Sounds good, right[?] [angel]

....Jen, those full size [floor models], Victrolas were a really elegant piece of furniture of that era....Doors that opened up on them would reveal slots to store records on their edge....and a large Horn type speaker in the bottom covered with decorative cloth of the period...A highly beveled cover that hinged up finished off the top. Oh yes, a crank on the side....and I believe it came off to store inside of the cabinet...if I remember correctly.

[Junctionfan]

I had an interesting dream last night. I was watching trains at junction and it was a triple track UP line, triple track CSX line and a quadruple track BNSF/CN line intersectiing each other. I saw 120 trains in 9 hours!

Had blinking neon signs in our bedroom windows and neighbors must have bowling after 2 am! But along with that, we did get a nice gentle rain. Just good, soaking rain with no wind. We generally don't get rain between end of July and 1st of Sept, but we did ok last nite. Glad to share it with anyone east of us.

That's the one! We had one (don't tell this on the forum) in our 1st grade class room. Loved to watch the teacher set it all up. Plus it was taller than I was when it was all set up. Ah - music and a little *** and Jane reading. Perfect!

[Mookie]

Yep, country music is good. But ya gotta love the good ole rocknroll from
the 50s & 60s, too; along with the good Motown from then, too!! [angel]

[CShaveRR]

Dull day here, too...just started pouring. I've got a bad case of the blahs, and the diner is definitely the wrong place for me to be when that happens!

I'm listening to classical music now (that's not depressing). But while we're talking about music history here, does anyone remember Del Shannon (late 1950s, early 1960s; big hits included Runaway, Hats Off to Larry, and Little Town Flirt)? He was my second cousin, once removed (he and my dad had great-grandparents in common; his paternal grandfather and my dad's maternal grandmother were siblings).

[cherokee woman]

Carl, I remember Del Shannon!! His hits you list are my favorite Del Shannon
songs!! [angel]

Man,cheer up. Just because you can't ride bike to work.

Don't know what classical music you are listing to,and it's not the same thing,but one of my favorites is Mason Williams; Classical Gas.[:)]

And BTW,the music you listed is "music"not like the screams we hear today[:)]
I would have said "cat screams"but I was afraid I would upset Mookie.[:D][}:)]

[Modelcar]

....Yes, rock and roll of 50's...Great...! Good stuff. My era. And of course Del Shannon, can hear it playing in my mind now....Also great...! Just a few years later attended a live show at the [then] International Hotel in Vegas to a live Elvis concert and dinner....Still have the record and jacket material that was handed out with the dinner....What a show..2 hrs. practically non stop....He was the greatest in the 50's rock and roll....and the orchestra behind him was superb.

[Anonymous]

Del Shannon=Late '50's on the North Shore Line
Early Beatles=End of North Shore Line during salvage operations.
Early Beach Boys, Dixie Cups,Neil Sadaka=Camping in the Dunes, listening to the South Shore at night.
Anything '65=Denver Zephyr
The Byrds=Burlington Steam trips 4960
Simon & Garfunkel=GTW Steam Trips to South Bend
Spanky and Our Gang=Trips on the Rock Island
The Temptations=When I hired out on the CNW

Hey anyone!! Refresh my memory: who did the song "Turn Turn Turn, there is a
season, turn, turn, turn. " Both locomutt and I love that song. (And I do know the
biblical reference.) [angel]

[Modelcar]

...Can't answer CW...but haven't noted anyone mentioning the great Bill Haley gang yet....Wow, just got out of the service and he was popular....I think really great...made great music.

[locomutt]

Modelcar............I am guessing that you mean "Bill Haley & the Comets"?
Great group and music.
And refferencing your last post,which branch of the service did you come from?
