Last tonite me. First heard this "Blind Faith" when in Nam at 19. We were back base camp and some dude had this on LOUD! We all went into listen as then was sent from home kids, and mostly 8 inch "tapes" reel to reel. Sold there gooks We otherwise knew of little.."back in the world "music". ..as the times they are a changing? (Yep!)

....got all my Traffic platters as well....as well as a ton more. Heck Robbie, the cover art on most of these old vinyl wrappers are worth more than whats inside to be honest.
I also have a shizz load of old posters.
You know, the ones we used to pull off the telephone poles back in the day. I saved most of them and it turns out some of those old bands I used to sneak in the places to listen to them at times hit the big time.
Yep, cool old artwork! In winter on a rainy day, I'll hit the Goodwill and look through whats there. Never know what the vinyl might be like, but I found 'Brothers, Family Style" that seems never been played! SRV and Jimmy V on the cover. Can't beat it for a $1.50! And a friend mine down the street has a "few" old vinyl".

Dave, thats some friends down the block. Him and the wife are pro dancers. They used to live on a boat in the town marina, so close to town and the dance clubs. Thing is sometimes when the mood hits we start doing shots, and "guess that album" he will pull out that stack (and he knows EXACTLY where every album is located too!) He will walk 10 feet away and show the back cover. Of course they both know, but I gotta think. Hmmmmm? Old rock me. If no clue flip to the cover still far back, me glasses on. What band now? If got that..(we all do shots Tequila, wrong answer me, as need an excuse for getting stupid anyway) Then if that right answer? WHATS THE TITLE SONG! Lotta fun if I can remember. What ever I drove there, bike/scooter/van, usually walk (ok wander) home the 5 houses to me, get the ride later! But as to continue yer "colledge of musical knowledge"? Just what band did that album front showing bottom, red and yellow script? I know it, but driving me nuts as can't remember!
Been messing the shop all day stuff needed to do. Blues on all day cable music channel. Damn, its that time again!
"Saturday nite blues" Great to hear some the old greats that were the beginning of "Rock and Roll" as we know it now. Still think Robert Johnson was a MASTER, but also a member the 27 club..1911 -1938. On a roll 2nite and aint passed out yet...........

Plus 10 years back, some damn cool couple "kids" real "Deadheads" Funny too as lived across the street from the "Platters" now. They moved though. Damn, I gotta relate a story "Billy" first. He got nailed with testicle cancer soon at 30. Then spread to the stomach, then lungs, the throat, last in the brain. He battled it 15 years, and yep, he's alive and well now. 3 foot ponytail long gone, and the brain surgery has his head look with a road map, scars. But dammit as if that enough "rough life"? His GF left him as could not take it anymore. But Billy had a Siberian Husky called "Fluffy", and grew up with my passed Golden Retriever. But I had to put "Dusty" down with cancer at 9. Well Billy was in remission now, and alone 'cept for "Fluffy". And the doggy was soon the end of life. He knew it, and took the dog to the ocean to watch the set set on the beach. They shared a couple peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, watched the sun go down. Dog helped back the ride, and soon the vet and the "needle". On the ride back, he went to take the dog out at home. Well, it passed in its sleep, back seat. I can't think of a better way to go.."Been a great day, thanks..but my old ass is tired and "going home".
He had over 600 Cassettes (see the progression away from vinyl here..then CDs coming soon) on a floor to ceiling rack! So there 20 years younger than me then, 30's them, me 50's, and turned ME on to some the new stuff! Lotta the same old rockers I knew now with new bands. Plus more never heard of. He has one tape he gave me for "hot tub music", as a mix. But one still has me "wondering, old blues" OK, one the songs was the old Blues not "Dusting off my broom", but "Dusting, dusting, dusting off the broom..lemme see if I can find it. But for now?..Second one if my fav "shop music!"
