Hey Drew -- thanks 2 my new web-browser, I can actually READ you now! I haven't been able 2 read your blog for MONTHS! Jeez, I didn't know you had palm trees here....
Looks like you got a pretty good haul from the thrift shops. The title song on ROCK AND ROLL LOVE LETTER has always been 1 of my faves. The Beach Boys' albums have all got some great stuff. Pat Benatar's PRECIOUS TIME has a great 1st side & "Hard to Believe" over on Side 2's a classic. & you can't lose with ELP. & that's all I can remember....
Now that I can actually READ you again, I'll be hanging out here more often....
& thanx again 4 all the folks you've sent my way....

Hey Tad! The palm tree pics were taken back in '09 at Laguna Beach, California during my visit there.

I've been going to thrift shops more often lately. My girlfriend loves 'em, so therefore it's win-win situation. The Little Feat albums won me over...
