That's a good thing. Fuck McDonald's and their shitty ass food. Last time I ate there I felt sick for the rest of the day.

In 1971 bought a brand new Hammond B3 organ, with a 122 Leslie, foot pedals, and a bench for $2000.00. Ah, the good ole days.

I love those things. When I was doing the garage band thing we had one in the group. It really made you think about where you were willing to play a job.

Remember the MAN FROM UNCLE
I had the attaché case, all their guns with the silencers.

If your old, you’ll remember all their character names...

I carried that one and a few more on gigs from then to about 8 years ago when I got tired of the musician attitudes and retired from playing gigs. I still have a couple of accordions to noodle on occasionally.

I hate Bosco, it's made with DDT.
Mommy puts it in my milk to try and poison me.
But I fooled mommy, I put it in her tea.
Now there's no more mommy to try and poison me.

Jingle bells
Batman smells
Robin laid an egg.
The batmobile
Lost a wheel
and the Joker got away...HEY!



Get off my lawn, kid!!!!!

The 1st TV I remember was a B/W Philco with the halo light around the screen. It had 4 knobs that was called "Leave it alone".

Appreciating fit birds was more like 4th grade for me

You are all youngsters - up to age 6, I lived with my grandparents on a small farm in rural Alberta, Canada. Granddad had cancer, and had sold all the animals and rented out the land for crops. There was no electricity, no running water, obviously no sewer system, and the nearest kid to play with was 1.5 miles away. We walked to see each other about once a week. Heat came from the kitchen wood/coal stove in the winter, it got so cold in the bedrooms there was frost on inside walls where the nail heads were. The kitchen was the only warm place in the winter.

Grandparents car was a 1928 Ford Model A, but Granddad didn't like driving. Good with a team of horses in his day. but a poor driver.

Then in 1950, I had to go to school, so moved into a small town of 600 people where we did have electricity, but still no running water or sewer.

Am I old? Chronologically, yes, but I don't feel that way (except for bad hearing).

Carry on, kids.............
