Hello Rob!

Gave the tune a recent spin. I had forgotten about the

telephone sound effect at the end of the song.

I only ever heard it the odd time on the radio. I never
owned one of their albums, although I thought a lot of
their music was good. I just never got into record
collecting, or tapes for that matter. And I own only one
music CD that I didn't make myself, and I got it for free
somewhere.. B)

About 800 45's, 1200 LPs, 3500 CDs, here.

Music was/is a big deal for me. Collecting was part of the
experience. However, with Spotify, the urge to have a specific
recording is not as pressing anymore.

[...] and a large number of the ones I have
came from one purchase from one of those record 'Deals'
where for a super low price you get 15 records if you
agree to buy 5 more or some such..

I did that, and then cancelled it once I bought the 5..

Yep, been there, done that too - several times actually. :D

Wow, that's quite a collection. I have a friend that. the last time
I talked to him a couple of years back, had over 5000 CD's
I wondered if at some point he would just buy anything he didn't
already have whether he liked the music or not just to grow his
collection...

I have close to 1000 music pieces on my computer, and I have them
randomly playing while doing eMail and such, but that's about the
only time I have music just playing in the background.

I only have a radio playing in the car when on the road. I don't
use one at home, which is odd considering I have a stereo system
worth a couple of thousand dollars. I think my interest in having
music going all the time changed over the years.

Maybe it's a bit like, I never watched sports on TV but I played
a lot of sports.. (Baseball Pitcher and Hockey Centre)

I often play my guitar a couple of hours a day while watching
TV but I don't play music other than when on the computer.

Of course I can (and have) make CD's from the music pieces I
have and I do have a DVD player going through my Stereo if I
want to burn a few to play there..

I have not added to my comic collection in a long time,
but I would actively seek out certain things. BUT - if
a local auction house had something I could get for a
deal/steal, I'd do it. I'd wind up with 200-300 random
comics for pennies each. Had a good time cataloging them!

So that's how you can wind up with extra stuff too... ;-)

I'm more into podcasts - spoken word... But yesterday one of
the 'old time radio' shows I listen to had three episodes of
American Top Fourty back to back - 1972, 1977, 1978. That was
extremely fun hearing 'classic' songs when they were new
releases. :-)

I don't play my guitar nearly enough... I have two that stay
at church (a six and a 12) and at least three more acoustics
at home. I play every service at church, but lately haven't
had a chance to just pull one out and play at home...

Before my wife started having so much physical issues, she
liked to drive, so I would take my 'travel' size guitar on the
road with us. Small enough that I could sit in the passenger
seat and hold it - I'd play - we'd sing - she's drive. Everyone
was happy! LOL

That might be a worthwhile thing though, you may find a few
pearls among all those oysters.. B)

Of course if you never get rid of anything they will sure
add up after a while. I sort of did that with computer parts..

Yes, that's always fun. Our main local radio station in this
area mostly play songs that are anywhere from 20 to 50 years
old, and what's funny is I don't notice. I don't think, Oh that's
an old song!.. To me it's just what I've heard most of my life..

Maybe that's just a symptom of old age.. when I do hear music that
is new, I don't much like most of it..
The stuff I do like is usually more quiet, story type songs or
a group that sounds more like the old ones. Like one of the groups
that I like is Nickelback, but they sound more like an 80's group
than the newer music..

TV but I don't play music other than when on the computer.

I never played in a place like a church.. I played some in
various schools when young and, one time, I played on a float
in a town parade..

Living alone, I can pluck away on the guitar while watching TV
without bothering anyone else in the room.
I usually seem to need to be doing 2 things at once or my mind
wanders and I'll miss things on the TV show.. B)

That would be nice.. Unfortunate that it's no longer possible.
