A long forgotten thread resurrected...

I am listening to whatever is on the radio (Oldies of course_

That's Amore, by Deano was playing.

Listening to my Phil Collins concert on VHS (Seriously live)

Current song: Easy lover

Happiness is just a thing called Joe

(btw: I was only 1yr old ... when this movie came out in Apr 1943)

The original was sung by Ethel Waters in the movie Cabin in The Sky

I haven’t found any good new songs now, but I still think the previous ones are better.

I'm currently listening to the Taylor Swift 'Folklore' Two Disc Red Vinyl Limited Edition.

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass anyone? Going Places and Whipped Cream and Other Delights? Crazy, never thought I'd find myself liking this stuff when I was growing up! Is it old age settling in or is it lack of good new music? I don't know.....

Songs on the radio overloaded us. So why spend money on them? But they are familiar because they were on the radio. Decades later, they have faded, but still in your mind. And maybe you have more money. So you buy, to relive your youth.

Now, when I see used CDs of music from the seventies, I grab them. I want to hear Me and Mrs Jones, because it brings the memories of what I was doing when it played on the radio.

Herb Alpert was before I.listened to the radio, but I certainly remember it playing at the neighbor's.

I was listening to Taylor Swift's new lavender vinyl edition album 'Midnights' during a party last night on my 1963 Zenith MT-1959H AM/FM/PHONO wood floor console Actually, I had ordered two lavender vinyl edition albums through Target late Thursday night just before those were scheduled to be released the following day. What fast service by Target! I mean, those two Taylor Swift vinyl albums arrived at my house yesterday, and just in time for my late night party!

As usual, Taylor Swift had come through again as all of the songs on that new lavender vinyl album "Midnights" were nothing short of spectacular! Wow! What a treasure!

Actually, I always preorder Taylor Swift's new vinyl albums well ahead of time, but this one took me by surprise.

Some of Taylor Swift's past vinyl albums are so pricey now that they're rarely sold on eBay.

It used to be that onky after significant wear would someone buy a vinyl record a second time. I've never done it.

No wonder vinyl sales are "soaring", if people buy two copies out of the box.

Oh no. The idea behind the second vinyl album was purely for future investment purposes. You see, some of Taylor Swift's past albums sell for big bucks, and typically depending on the color of the vinyl. In fact, if those albums have Taylor Swift's signature on them, those albums would command even more.

I mean, if you even managed to locate a Taylor Swift 'Reputation' translucent orange vinyl edition, you couldn't afford it. I happen to have one such vinyl edition.

The long version of The Time Has Come Today by The Chambers Brothers:

The tune is something to be desired, bur it does rock.

Since colored wax has been brought up, here's one in my collection from '58;

"Help Me Rhonda " The Beach Boys on WBOJ 1270 Columbus, GA.

I have a copy of the soundtrack to Silent Running, and it's green. Wasn't a premium price forty years ago.

I was listening to Cable TV Stingray music today, the Folk Roots channel.
"Been stuck here in this town,
Ever since they shut the Greyhound down".

There's always "Moody Manitoba Morning"

Oh, Taylor Swift's 'Evermore' vinyl edition this morning.

How much does Taylor Swift pay you for the promotion?

On the weekend, PBS had a show about Burt Bacharach songs. There's Dusty Springfield, maybe I'll get Dusty in Memphis. Though I like what I've heard when they were The Springfields
