That’s some top down driving music.

Fun fact, in the high school days, a group of us would go on a yearly waterski camping trip to Lake San Antonio.
Fruit bats would fly around at night, and my best friend’s older brother was terrified of them.

I might have an embarrassingly age inappropriate thing for Dua Lipa. For modern music, the production is really good and the band is (along with some other obvious attributes) tight.

Sometimes you need the full 20-minute jam. And this is better than the original, fight me.

@double00 -- the live versions you poast of songs

can i tell a story ?

in HS i was an oldies junkie , from san diego i could pick up the flamethrower signal of the great k earth 101 los angeles and 1995 me adored the station in those days . shotgun tom kelly would play 50s through early 70s . hermans hermits ! gary lewis and the playboys ! amazing .



heaven . i loved all of it ... except for james taylor .

and for probably the next 20 years i really believed that i disliked james taylor's act , to me he sounded phony . and then i saw his american television debut on the johnny cash show :



astounding . the scales fell from my eyes ( and ears ) and i realized : it's not james taylor on the studio recordings , it's some hideous abstraction . fugazi , joy division , hell even kanye - the late orchestration version of through the wire is incredible, and ngl i love his squeaky clean studio productions :



to me immediacy and the fire of life is where music lives . ymmv !

Does anyone have any suggestions for these 78s that I won't listen to again please? Apart from throwing them out.

Donate them to a local library? Some of the libraries around here have record collections.

Maybe reach out to some high school band or orchestra teachers or something? I bet some of them would love to have some of those.
