I started collecting records when I was 10. My neighbors sold used 45s for 25 cents. I was 12 when I started work at a restaurant with jukebox that played top 40 singles. This was one of the songs I heard, a long with The Spinners, Kenny Rogers, and Waylon Jennings.

On Friday, May 9, 2025 Jim "The Blind Guy" Hoschek would have turned 70. Sadly we lost him just 5 years ago. Last Sunday several of us got together at Fran's house to celebrate Jim. Here is the altar piece we made in his honor.
