Thanks Adam.  Indeed, "music" today ain't what it used to be.

It's not music Doug just computerized sound and voice enhancement equipment for the most part and being able to dance around half naked. 😄

Thank you.

I couldn't agree more Adam. I was the keyboard player in a rock band back in 1958-59. No one could have ever guessed where things were going. I'd give anything to live those days again. Here's my hero from the way back then (he plays the piano almost as good as I did 🤩).

Did you play with your feet on the piano like he did or were you more refined and played in your bare feet, just asking for a friend. 😄

Just what I needed tonight Adam, thanks.  Back in the mid to late sixties we danced to many of those slower songs when you could hold them tight................

Those were the days Rob, the Friday and Saturday night dances at the firehall or whatever. The kids today will never get to experience the good times like we had in the day. Drag racing on the highway at night with the old man's car, sneaking around and smoking a cigarette so your parents wouldn't catch you. 😄

 I just used my fingers/hands Adam. I was so good that I didn't need all that "other stuff" 🙂

some good stuff there even though some I have not heard off.... saw a band recently, they were local not anything big but the all played and instrument, it's so good to see that as opposed to a group or individual singing to a backing track, a bit like

Careful........

 

DEAR NEIGHBOR:
Hi, Fred, this is Richard, next door.
I’ve got a confession to make. I’ve been riddled with guilt for a few
months and have been trying to get up the courage to tell you
face-to-face.  At least I’m telling you in this e-mail. I can’t live
with myself a minute longer without your knowing about this.
The truth is that, when you’re not around, I’ve been sharing your
wife, day and night.  In fact, probably much more than you.  I haven’t
been getting it at home recently, and I know that that’s no excuse. The
temptation was just too great. I can’t live with the guilt and hope you’ll
accept my sincere apology and forgive me.
Please suggest a fee for usage, and I’ll pay you.
Regards, Richard.

NEIGHBOR’S RESPONSE:
Fred, feeling very angry and betrayed, grabbed his gun, went next door,
and shot Richard, killing him.  He went back home, shot his wife, poured
himself a stiff drink and sat down on the sofa.  Fred then looked at his
computer again and discovered a second e-mail from Richard.

2ND E-MAIL:
Hi, Fred.  Richard here again.  Sorry about the typo on my last email.
I expect you figured it out and noticed that the darned Auto-Correct had
changed “wi-fi” to “wife.”  Technology, huh?  It’ll be the death of us
all.
