LINER NOTES


So, there's this:

If - Back In The Day - you were to browse through my music collection, you would run across these. And many others, to be sure. This would be late-Eighties for the most part. Some few songs may be a little later, but that's the general timeframe.

This is not a "themed" disk; there is no story here; no point or message trying to be given. I'm not even sure if it flows all that well. This is not a disk of my favorite artists by any stretch, although some are represented. There is no Zeppelin, no Bowie, no New Order, no Police, no Numan, no Ultravox, and no XTC. This is before I listened to Ministry and Skinny Puppy and Pat Metheny and Cocteau Twins. And well before Underworld. There's no local Boston music. I might call it WFNX.

These are some of my "Oh cool! I love that song!" songs. These are some of the songs that made/make me sing in the car, put a spring in my step. I might even dance to them. These are some favorite songs and ones I want to share...

If nothing else, you can glue a circle of cork to it and it makes a nice coaster.
:)


P.S. How many bands can you name?

RE: Favorite images that pop to the top

If I close my eyes, there are some favorite images that pop to the top.

1). Newborn Charles sucking on my finger.

2). Holding a brand new Elizabeth.

3). J dancing in front of my window.

4). J peacefully asleep next to me.

5). Braddie putting his tummy in the water at the beach.

6). Charles chasing mini-bears at Philmont.

7). The Drambuie draw at the Stockton.
