buying albums again

Thanks to YouTube, I just watched Macca and Bruce Springsteen in London, singing their oh-too-brief duets before the authorities shut them down. What a marvel, the Boss at 62 and the Cute One at 70, rocking into the night like cool teens - such fun. But a bit too late, obviously, for the staid Brits.

A big thrill at HMV today - they have a new vinyl section! Yes, record albums are back on sale. How often in our zoom-by world does a scorned old technology COME BACK? I browsed for ages before buying "Music from Big Pink" by the Band, my own copy of which vanished into the mists of time. I bought one of Paul's first solo CD's and the new Paul Simon, and chatted with the sales guy who was young with grey hair and whose favourite band is Simon and Garfunkle. When I asked him what his favourite band from now is, he couldn't answer.

More music - Eli was over, so we had to have our obligatory dance to Michael Jackson. He is eight weeks old today and a music-lover already. I have been singing more since my singing lesson last week, poor world. It feels especially good to sing loudly when on a bicycle - warns motorists that a lunatic is near.

It's very hot. Very very very hot. I am actually using my air conditioner, which I usually don't, don't like to be sealed in. But these days, it's a good idea to close the doors, draw the curtains to shut out the blaze, and listen to your brand new album. Everything old is new again. Including your faithful correspondent.

    of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but
    I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.

    When I look at your blog site in Safari, it looks fine but
    when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.

  9. Hello, I am new to blogging and websites in general and was wondering
    how you got the "www" included in your domain name? I see your web
    address, "http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=667348909154981284&postID=77708706532100115" has the www and my domain looks like,
    "http://mydomain.com". Do you know just how I can alter
    this? I'm using Wordpress. With thanks

  11. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However
    think of if you added some great images or video clips to give
    your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but
    with images and videos, this blog could definitely be one of the greatest in its
    niche. Good blog!

    a guest write-up for a similar blog? It will definitely help gain publicity to your website (my site recieves a lot of visitors).
    If you are interested, email me at: lucy_bohannon@web.de.

  14. With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or
    copyright violation? My website has a lot of completely unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd really
    appreciate it.

  19. First of all I would like to say excellent blog!

    I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Cheers!

  22. The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop,
    just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and
    she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it
    with someone!

    I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you advise starting with a free platform like
