That looks exactly like my first computer. ▲ꜛ▲ My second was an Atari ST - It had MIDI built in.

Symphony #6 - Tchaikovsky - Cleveland Orchestra, George Szell conducting Tchaikovsky is said to have composed this while contemplating suicide because of his homosexuality. He said he wept while composing it, and died by drinking disease infected water soon after. IMO it's a great piece of music. Sometimes anguish can produce great art.

Ray Charles - I Wonder From his early days when he was a blues singer, which IMO is when he was best.

A polar bear walks into a bar and says to the bartender “I’ll have a rum …………………. and coke.” The bartender asks, “What’s with the big pause?” The bear shrugs. “I was born with them.”

Once you are a "you nick" it's not hard anymore ?

I couldn't resist... The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh) - The Tokens with one of the worst alto sax solos in rock music - but it works. Notes ♫

Pŭssy Cat - The Ames Brothers (Sorry auto-censor, that's the name of the song)

Just because you are on a diet, doesn't mean you can't look at the menu.

Judas = Traitor so a double association Traitors Gate - Judas Priest

I feel for you Shane. Pets are like family members. I think I cried over my cat more than I did over my own mother. Time heals, remember the good times, that will help, and fell fortunate for the years you had together. Notes

Jelly Jelly Jelly - Bobby 'Blue' Bland I've probably posted this one before, but it's the absolute best version of this old classic blues tune that I've heard (so far)

I'm A King Bee - Slim Harpo The early Stones did a decent cover And to muddy the waters

When I was a child, we went out to an alligator 'farm' (tourist trap) to see alligator wrestling. It was run by the local Seminole Indian tribe. There was this fenced in pond with an overfed alligator on the bank. The 'wrestler' walked in, flipped the gator on it's back and held its mouth shut. They he held his hand up as if to say "Ta-Da". The build up on the primitive PA set was long and scheechy. The whole 'wrestling match' lasted about 3 minutes, if that. Then he flipped the bored gator over again and walked out of the fenced area. The gator went back to sunning itself. I could hear the gator thinking "Oh well! It's a living." Even as a kid I knew that was a ripoff. I liked the glass bottom boats better and eventually became a skin diver so I could go out to the reefs by myself (with a buddy of course). The Seminoles don't do that anymore. They found better ways to make money. In the 1960s and 70s they sold cigarettes on their reservation bypassing state and perhaps federal taxes at a lower price than you could get them elsewhere. Then they found Casino gambling, and they've been rolling in the dough ever since. I gigged at a couple of their Casinos. With all the lights and bells it was like playing in a Hawaiian shirt In front of us were the husbands or wives of their gambling partners. Our job was to keep them entertained, so they don't bug their spouses to take them home. Not the best performing situation, but not the worst either, and the pay was quite good. The staff was very nice to us, even helped us carry the gear in, and when the gig was done, they said we could go to the restaurant and order whatever we wanted, including the steaks, on the house. I think we were among the few winners those nights. We did them for a few years, then a new manager was hired and decided to put in single singing guitarist acts. It was a good run while it lasted. Notes

Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run) - Billy Ocean The song was originally titled African Queen and Billy's real name is Leslie Sebastian Charles

leap = jump Jump, Jive, And Wail - Louis Prima with Sam Butera and the Witnesses (Sam is one of my top 20 all-time favorite tenor sax players) Sorry, the video isn't really live.

Gators are best left alone. Every true Floridian knows that. Those yankee transplant golfers never seem to learn.

Lyrics (before they changed the meaning of "gay") But I feel so gay in a melancholy way That it might as well be spring It might as well be spring It Might As Well Be Spring - (Rodgers & Hammerstein from the musical "State Fair") - I'll choose the Getz/Gilberto version because Stan Getz is one of my all-time favorite tenor sax players

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses

Method of Modern Love - Daryl Hall & John Oates
