A child of the Southwest and of the 50s -- a woman who knew me well once said, 'Yeah, the 1850s.' Generally culturally conservative and distrustful of new and improved innovative change. Very seldom overtly serious, but many a truth is spoke in jest and all of my truths are. Worked my way through UT when I was up in my 30s. If I'd, by some horrible miscalculation ended up in Bryan, I would've worked my way through that school over there. Have worked all over in printing and publishing. I've held a bunch of jobs and quit all of them but one. I am a journeyman printer and followed the trade and heard its dying gasps as it was throttled by technological change. I had a sponsored blog on a newspaper but quit the job.
Reminds me of the series from 20-25years ago--Hooked on the Classics, classical music done in a style to make it more appealing to folks now. I absolutely wore out my cassettes!
Loon, you made me smile today! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ventures.
Oh, did I mention I LOVE THE VENTURES?
How very cool! Beats the hell out of the disco version, that's for sure. And I would expect such great stuff from the band that made THE BEST TV THEME SONG EVER! Hawaii Five-O theme is still and always will be the coolest of them all.
Dad was a greaser who had serious aspirations of going to California after he graduated from high school to be a beach bum, inspired by the music of the Beach Boys, the Ventures, Jan and Dean, and others. Seriously, he was going to do that, until - OOOPS - I happened. Then, yeah, plans changed. But things like that happen. He still loves the music, though, as do I.
