yw-Granite. got a million stories. alot went down in them days. being in my pre-teens made it even more interesting. having a good memory then helped! i know quite a few folks who are 10 years older than myself and are still in a fog over what they can and cant remember about those days.

i look at my nine year old son, Levon, now and he is at the age I was in 1964- the year the Beatles were first on Ed Sullivan. my oh my

Yep, I got a cuppla thousand backed up.
The site looks interesting.
Thanks.

Back to topic – Bear, your #124 was very interesting.

Thank you.

I’ve heard that if you had purchased music from iTunes, and were to have your iPod damaged, and not have a backup of the tunes somewhere; that you’d have to buy them all over again.
Is that correct?

Yes, but you can keep them in a library or what my fiance has (over 10,000 + songs) an OMEGA hard drive. its a separate storage for his songs.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Sorry for the hijack!

Alrighty….here’s a Bay Area fav: BOXTOPS- “Sweet Cream ladies, forward march…the world owes you a living….”

I always suspected the lead singer turned out to be Eddie Money.

Now what tune is draggin thru yer head

But seriously- all this Bay Area nostalgia sets a context for what was goin on around the YBMB back in the day

Granite, you will not be disappointed.

its free, check it out.

I had just graduated high school when that came out.
That was based on the incident with The Pueblo and North Korea of a couple years earlier, if I’m not mistaken.

Over years I’ve purchased many CDs – probably most of them used.
Then, I made compilation CDs.
Then, I put the tunes on the iPod.

I would guess you could get the tunes from iTunes.

I myself have not bought anything from iTunes, and I doubt I will in the future.

‘Course, not all tunes from all bands are needed, but…boy, is this off topic!

Poor AJ, no clue what your affliction is, but hope you feel better.

How could I forget – Motown, when it was Motown!

Santana at your high school dance?!

Man!
Just a wee bit jealous….

Have you checked out the Santana album Live at the Fillmore 1968?
It’s terrific.

But, avoid the Fillmore Performance: San Francisco 1968-dreadful quality.

Talk about mindblowing – check out Johnny Winter’s “Live/And” & “Captured:Live”.

I was there from 59 to 72, at the height of things you might say. Beatniks were still hanging out there in 1960. Learned how to ride a bike on my own just as things got interesting. By the time things started getting funky at UC with the “Free Speech” movement, there were mass “cool outs” at the park across the street.

The beatniks were replaced with hundreds of student radicals, Black Panthers, Brown Berets, and hippie/yippie dippies, plus more and more war protestors.

All had cause to hide out from the cops and authorities and riots in Berkeley and Oakland. The park was a great place to ride bikes- so we had a chance to get close to these folks.

We used to collect wine jugs after the weekend to use for beebee gun practice.

This was before the notable ones went on to have “star power” in their circles and rap sheets with the cops and FBI. Black Muslims were considered cool only so far as they were consistent with Malcolm X’s walk. The rest were considered flunky charlatans for the likes of Bey and his crew. They never came around the Park.

We saw and heard stuff there as kids that make all these “radicals” sound like pudding hittin the floor.

We kept track of which group was which and what they stood for. And there were Hells Angels around too. All of them wanted to bend our ears because we were little Catholic kids. We believed in God and most of them didn’t.

But we were just kids on bikes. They liked us. Little Catholic kids taking stories back to the nuns during Catechism class in school.

OT: I’ve always been partial to Santana. Played at my high school freshman welcome dance. Mindblowing.
