Back Stage Pass

 

I see this Blog as a jar that I am filling with various thoughts, and I’m hoping that by the time I’ve reached the end of my thoughts, I’ll have it to wander around in.  I can wear a VISITOR Badge and just keep exploring whatever it was I was thinking about, during whatever year it was.

For example, I woke up today thinking about those plastic inserts for 45 RPM records.  Why on earth did they make those instead of just making the hole in the record the right size to begin with?  They were able to do it with LP’s and 78’s.

Sorry if these are old terms, referencing the various bits of my life that now lay dormant in antique shops.  I too, will sound scratchy if you tried to play me today.  My quality is poor in comparison to today’s standards.   My vocabulary has not kept up and my ability to fit-in lacks the refinement to justify a VIP pass.

My hope is that this jar, floating here in cyberspace is still playable in years to come.
