8 Track memories

Yes. I am old enough to remember 8 track tapes. Never you mind how old I am. Like I haven't told you in the side bar. But that is not the purpose of this entry.

Music has always been a big part of my life. Bigger than I thought or remembered. I remember getting a small record player and a set of Disney records both of which I wore out. I then getting my first stereo and portable stereo. As long as I can remember, there was usually music going.

There were those songs, either records or tapes, that I would play over and over and over and over... well you get the picture. Some of them were "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" and other funny songs, a Carpenters album, Elton John and "One Tin Soldier". This songs represented a good time in my life. Not that there weren't problems, but the music made the times easier.

Now I'm finding I'm going back and trying to find those days. Less stress. Less conflict. Less crap. Since we haven't perfected time travel yet and I really don't want to end up in the Jurassic period, I'm using the music to return me to that time. To instill some peace in the chaos of today.

Thanks to i-tunes, I have been able to find some of those lost songs. Now if I could only get things (things being money) together enough to buy the i-pod I want.

Oh well, I listen on the computer while I write and soon I will be able to take the peace of mind with me soon...I hope. Contribution will be accepted...chuckle chuckle.
