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!

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.

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!

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.

[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]

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!

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

However,we are having about 30% of "drizzle" here now.[:)]

Sorry about that,I have had some 78's,but all the ones I have now are 33 1/3.[:)]

Several CD players in house and both vehicles but for some reason the records are packed in a box....Have a box of 45's too. Guess I assumed they were on the way out.

We do have a JVC turntable,to go along with our CD player. Just got about 4 years ago.
And yes we still have some 45rpm records around here.[:)]

What memory - just how to do a "cut and paste..."

And yes, I do remember Melanie - I have one of her albums (in vinyl)

Great,how many of us out there,remember vinyl LP's?[:)]
Or for that matter,anybody remember what an 8-track is? I still have 2 that work(did) and tapes to go along with.
And yes, I also have an Melanie album,from my 60's days.[:D]

[dinner] Mac and cheese.yum!![dinner]!!!

[cherokee woman]

Joe, I'll take some mac and cheese. Locomutt had a supper of sauteed mushrooms
and onions. I could handle the onions, but mushrooms tend to cause a problem
at times, so don't eat them very often. Only when Walt makes his spaghetti
casserole. (Which he hasn't done in AGES!!

And Joe, did you and Matt watch Trains and Locomotives today? We did. Also watched
the last half of Tracks Ahead: got home from the store in time to see the last part of
it. [angel]
