I'm sure it had to be some great British band of the 80's though....because I had tons of tapes :) While I was reading this I was thinking of all of those records, tapes and Cd's that you had to store back then, and thinking how clean everything is now ~ no music sitting around....just pull your music down "from the cloud"!

She is top drawer as a performer, but also, mostly, as a human.<br /><br />I go so overzealous with Walkman when I first got one that I wasn't really listening to the sounds of the world anymore. So I had to set it aside & ration my time with it....like some do with TV(I don't own a tv,so...). It made me more aware of the import of all the little sounds around me..taking them away too much, then getting them back. ~MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-11153329120560589702013-03-19T14:16:23.530+00:002013-03-19T14:16:23.530+00:00Cubano, reflections of your youth and taste in mu...<br /><br />Cubano, reflections of your youth and taste in music (Long Live Pink Floyd! [Sorry for the outburst])took me back quite a few years. <br /><br />Perhaps, too far back, because I can't even remember crossing paths with a Walkman while living in Cuba. <br />If I had, it is possible I would've sold my soul to inFidel just to own one. <br /><br />Marysolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988401904186271819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-3969957610336200462013-03-19T13:44:20.552+00:002013-03-19T13:44:20.552+00:00Hello from Texas!
