I've never been really "into" music, I just turn on the radio and listen. The problem is they don't play any good stuff anymore. And I know that doesn't mean I'm getting old.  I finally snapped. I went to the CD store and bought a Laura Branagan collection because I wanted to listen to Gloria with the volume turned all the way up. I find the CD, get it home, and realize I don't own a CD player. I eventually managed to find and old banged up Barbie CD player in my daughters bedroom. It worked. And Laura made my life good for an afternoon.  | ||

You listened to Laura Branagan on your kids Barbie CD player? Yes, it does mean you're getting old. | ||

I think we need to figure out how to mount it on the bike so you can enjoy your music on the road. Hey, a man that can mount a Barbie radio on his motorcycle is a real man  . At least that's what they tried to tell me last year when my daughter's soccer team I was coaching got Pink shirts. Oh course I wouldn't wear pink so Kristi got me a gray "Coach" tee-shirt. All was cool until my daughter notice as I was tying her cleats that the manufacturer of my shirt was  SoccerMom Inc. I failed to read the small print! | ||

Mention Barry Manilow to FB at your own risk...best to take out a insurance policy before hand...  Would it make ya feel older if I said I'd never heard of Laura Branagan?? Hope not... FB2 | ||

Would it make ya feel older if I said I'd never heard of Laura Branagan? LOL - Gloria came out the year before you were born. | ||

I thought Gloria was performed by Van Morrison? | ||

I thought Gloria was performed by Van Morrison? Van Morrison does have a song called Gloria, but it's not the same one. I learned this searching for the one I wanted at the CD store. I still want to call it a record store ... | ||

ah, so now we've established that I'M the one that's getting old -- btw, my kid taught me how to work the MP3 player this summer -- gonna be hell when she leaves home for good! | ||

Jim, We need to talk :-( My entire Thundering Herd are currently full-time educational devotees in your general area -- I can find you another device to play some CD's. The girls got you bracketed between Chapel Hill and State so I think we can fix this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,LMAO G2 | ||

Actually I believe it was the Shadows of Night who did it first. 1965 or 66.  | ||

G2 - You've got a daughter at NCSU? Thats right down the street from me. I rode the Blast to Chapel Hill on Sunday. Parked it in front of the planetarium and went in search of food on Franklin St. | ||

>>>> it was the Shadows of Night who did it first. 1965 or 66. That (coming from a person who played it about a thousand times on a 1965 Gibson Melody Maker) is an accurate statement. | ||

JL you have got to put that pink player on the scoot, thats just too good, I have some twine, wire and we can get colored duct tape! yes you are getting old ( been there done that, borrowed the childs' cd player to listen to Clapton a LONG WHILE back ) LOL Ride safe... | ||

Shadows were a great Chicago Band -- not so sure they were the first, though -- this may require further research | ||

http://www.tsimon.com/shadows.htm Things happened so fast back then. A fella named George Ivan Morrison the lead singer of Them wrote the song. It was a B side for them. Later after the shadow of night, Van (as he then called him self)Morrison released it. I guess you can learn something new every day. Now I can go back to sleep (NOT). | ||

Who's Laura Branagan? | ||

Jlance, you need to get a satellite radio receiver and splurge for the service. I prefer Sirius as they have one channel (out of 180) that only plays only 80's stuff. I have to admit that I failed to see the necessity of satellite radio, until I got one....... | ||

Once heard a top 10 of things men would never say. #1 was: Barry Manilow is a cool MF. | ||
| Bigdaddy |
