Retro record player

Do you remember those retro record players? They were usually plastic, and had carrying handles. Mine is long lost, but the image shows one. It might be a new one, in the retro style. Which ever, it is still so cool. Today I was just remembering my (late) twin sister and I listening to LP…

It’s a love-hate thang

A few years ago, I wrote a blog post about reality television programming. Well, maybe we should reconsider the situation. We often complain about, “that show is so fake! liars!” True, many reality and fantasy programs are “fake” to a degree. Let’s look at that a bit more in depth. Being a Theatre BFA graduate,…

Groovy lava lamp

Do you remember the lava lamps from the 1960’s? This is a new one, with my favorite color- green. Just what is that lava made of, anyway? ‘Thought editing the photo to have only the lava in color would be interesting. Do you like to collect items from times past?

Music and the modern technology

Music technology sure has changed over the years, hasn’t it? Can you remember 8 track tapes? Most vehicles came standard with an 8 track tape player, and you’d have to listen to the whole tape to get to that favorite song, as there was no choosing the song .

All we need is love

Someone once told me that I “look like something out of the ’60’s” (?) Other than the “something” part of that statement, it is kinda true. Yes, I still wear bell-bottom jeans and tye-dye t-shirts. Of course, the music of the era was important as well. Even though a bit late in the game, I…
