I just acquired a glider rocker. I haven't had one in my life since my first post-college apartment.

Cutting the lights, donning headphones, and playing tapes on my boombox was a nighttime ritual. Doing it in a glider rocker leveled up the experience.

It's like an old friend has returned.

My friends at Candy Apple Blue released a hot synthwave version of the Stevie Nicks classic "If Anyone Falls (80s Romance Mix)" and it's gaining steam. It's on all the platforms.

It's the Sunday night photo. "The Lego Movie" soundtrack is being spun. My daughter and son adored this tune when we all lived in my mother's basement (post divorce).

Traditionally, I'll do a Sunday night post with me actual in tow.

This one features the soundtrack for the epic "FM". It's a fantastical romp through late '70s radio station life. Though classic rockers provide the soundtrack, the disco ball seems particularly period appropriate.

Just a round up of my Pioneer silver collection. And a round up of my record/tape collection. I've been at it for just over 15 years. Lotsa music has transpired in a decade and a half. Lotsa fun as well!
