Sidebar: My 65-cent Farmer Music copy of Come Go With Me shows the name of the group as The Dell-Vikings. In subsequent albums, it's Del Vikings. 

Anyway, to Linda: Glad to hear you have a slot for it on the Worden Wurlitzer.

It is snowing in New Orleans. This global warming is pretty intense.

Also, 32 deg here in Hernando Beach, Florida.  Yuck!  We left the NW for warm weather.  The cold and rain is haunting us!

Bob Nicholson

Yeah, 15 degress in the Florida panahandle and 5 to 6 inches of snow on the ground. New record! Breaks the old record of 3 inches in 1958.

Meantime, back in the Northwest.....sunny, a balmy 41 in Olympia, with a predicted low of 26 Friday and Saturday.

Life has certainly changed since we were kids!!!

Things are getting serious....

I tell my little feathered ladies every day how happy I am when I find eggs in the nesting boxes; although  this weather isn't helping much on egg production.

A quick look back at old Seattle. 

The iconic, statuesque Orpheum Theater at 5th & Stewart. Opened in 1927, fell to the wrecking ball in 1967, replaced by the Washington Plaza Hotel in 1969.

Fun to see the old ads... I am not familiar with these events but I do remember going to Charm School at a department store in Ohio.  Not sure it helped much... 

James (Jim) Mathews

Bill, interesting photo of old Seattle that you posted a few days ago. Judging from what is playing at the Theater-Gone With the Wind, and the age of the cars it was probably 1939.  May have even been the premiere of that movie. The crowd to get in looks like it goes around the block!  None of us were born yet but good times😊

Bob's correct -- a mid-1950s re-release of Gone With The Wind, Jim. I saw it for the first time on the big screen at the Paramount in 1968.

If you're at all inclined I would highly recommend watching Alive Inside on Amazon, it speaks to the reality we all face in our aging and the value of music in our life.

Bill Engelhardt

Good catch, Mike. 

It's also available on YouTube.....

Virginia Wolfe (Scheffer)

Guys....thanks for the recommendation of Alive Inside.  I will look it up.

Karen Buck (White)

I have been facing some of these symptoms and my family has been very helpful and understanding.  I am sorry that so many others are having memory problems in our aging years and yet part of me is glad to know that I am NOT the only one facing this reality.  Thanks for sharing the shows that describe the issure and some help!  

Joe May

Great suggestion Mike, we watched Alive Inside last night, What an uplifting effort on the part music played (plays) in our lives. I'm making my playlist and even doing just that, brought back some fantastic old memories, Highly recommend taking the time to watch. And Bill, keep posting those old top 40 lists so we can keep those memories alive and make great playlists.
