with a little help from my friends

Hey thanks for stopping by!

There's large collection to look at and read on this blog.  Please take a look around.  An easy way to check the variety of posts is to click on a label/tag over in the Label cloud on the side.

For example click on photos to see my posts containing photos or music for the music stuff.

thanks for stopping (oh I love comments please leave one)

It was twenty (now it's been 40 years ) years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play

Wow - forty years - remember vinyl? turntables that weren't just used for rap sound effects? How about playing albums backwards and listening for secret messages about Paul being dead? underground FM stations you could only pick-up late at night?

Some of that stuff - you reflect on it and find some of the teenage stuff today is different but maybe not much weirder.

Here's a link to the VOA site that has a clip about the 40th Anniversary.

I had to go check our boxes of old albums for the Sgt. Pepper one. It's still there, but it looks 40 years old. The rubbing against other covers has left spots of missing color and text. The paper edges barely hold the album together.

The last time I had a turntable hooked-up was when the cicadas were last here, I guess. Most of the albums (including this one) have a few scratches, so I don't plan on buying one now.

This one is an all time favorite of many including myself, but I would not say it's the top of the list. Even of the Beatle albums, I place the "White Album" or "Abby Road" higher on my list.

Well, if we could just get the Beatle's music released for digital download now. At least there's some stuff on youtube for listening.
