Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

"Look Through Any Window" and "Any Way You Want It", And "Rubber Soul" or "Herman's Hermits' Greatest Hits."
On Sunday, Bob Stroud did a Rock and Roll Roots Salute to the Hollies on the 50th anniversary of Graham Nash leaving the group and heading for America. The Hollies and Dave Clark Five are my favorite two sixties British bands.
Like last week, where Stroud saluted the Beatles' "Rubber Soul" album on its 53rd anniversary of release, and where I had the problem of choosing between it and Herman's Hermits Greatest Hits" for my first-ever album. (See my post.)
Well, today, he played the two 45s that I had to choose between for my first-ever record purchase. That would be the Hollies' "Look Through Any Window" and the Dave Clark Five's "Any Way You Want It." Unfortunately, I don't remember which one I chose for sure, but think it might have been the Hollies.
Well, the Memories. --RoadDog

Bubble Wrap-- Part 2
Is there such a thing as bubble wrap etiquette? Emily was mum, but the virtual bubble wrap site had a list so you don't embarrass yourself.
*** DON'T POP someone else's bubble wrap without permission. This could lead to BAD things happening to your person.
*** Don't pop the wrap in quiet public places (like libraries) unless you want it confiscated.
*** Don't pop it in stores where you buy it. They get cranky when the rolls are all limp.
*** It is always good form to offer to share your bubble wrap.
*** Giving wrap to children results in good karma points.
*** Chicks dig bubble wrap. When dating, always bring some along.
From http://virtual-bubblewrap.com/etiquette.shtml
I'll add a couple things:
1. Make sure you keep track of where you horde it.
2. Is there an expiration date on them?
3. Go into a store with the big bubble wraps, get a hold of the pa system and open fire.

Happy 50th Love of My Life-- BUBBLE WRAP!!!
Today is a special day for me and many others, the 50th birthday of that fun of all-time-fun thing-- Bubble Wrap.
I love it, love it, love it.
I also horde it, bringing it out just on special occasions. I don't know if I'm more excited about the object I get in the mail or the bubble wrap if it comes with it. Liz just sighs.
I have NEVER yet dropped to the level of going out and buying it though!!!
GREAT SITE to find out about the stuff and do your virtual popping:
