I'm listening to it now. What a trippy tune. That's the only way to describe it.

I had a real good night tonight. I sat in my backyard, listening to music, drinking beers. I would turn the dial up, slowly, waiting for a song I like, or one I've never heard that sounded interesting. Once I'd get to the end of the FM dial, I'd switch to AM, and work my way back down. I listened to the Grand Ole' Opry, 60's, 70's, and 80's music, my all time favorite Saturday song, SATURDAY NIGHT, by the Bay City Rollers, (and I learned that it was the number one song in 1975, when I was 12). I heard a few baseball games, and the really cool sounds of tuning into an AM station that kids nowadays don't even know about. I mean the squeaks, and dying cat sounds, pops, whistles. Gospel music, and old country. New pop, rap, and techno. Techno is NOT dead! It's just hiding out on the low end of the FM dial. Ooo, right now, it's Stevie Nicks singing "Sara".

I enjoyed listening to the old country. It reminded me of when I went with my dad and uncle down to Virginia, to visit my Aunt Molly. We ate her homemade cinnamon apple butter, which my dad is still trying to reproduce. I found a 1918 penny under the porch step. We would sleep on the floor, in sleeping bags, listening to the AM radio playing old country. That was back in the 70's. It's REALLY old country now.

I built a fire and sat on my patio chair, rocking back and forth, watching the stars through the pine boughs. Now it's "Everlasting Love", the Carl Carlton version, from 1974. "According to Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI), the 1974 Carl Carlton version has been played more than 4 million times." from Wikipedia.

This is really weird. I heard Santana's "Black Magic Woman". Now that song rocks all by itself, but what's really cool is that I kept seeing the "notes" come up, in my mind, from when Pete F+11 was playing Guitar Hero. Whenever I hear that song, I see it.
