Sounds a little tinny like an old am transitor radio from the 70's
but good to me
That song was a big deal when I was in high school . . .. I still have it on 45 RPM. With $5 you could put gas in Dad's car, take your date to Micky D's after a movie, and have change left over.

Another from that era. 8)

Condos and Apartments are out . . . single family dwellings are in. Who would have ever thought in this day and age? :roll:

I guess "social distancing" is part of the new normal in more ways than one. :o o_O :?

In 1971 Rod ruled with that album, kind of a heartbeat of the time.
Just graduated then.

I thought of that song after Maggie May but kept thinking and remembered looking into my fathers eyes
when I was five at the end of his life
seems like we were cheated

I had a moment like that also but much later in my life . . .. I only hope that I will face my last days with the courage and strength that he did.

Now that I'm approaching what would have been "his" last few years I try to appreciate just the important things in life and "Live in the Now". It really is about family, health, and peace of mind.

On a lighter note here's some "upbeat" songs that go well on a Friday . . . especially in these tough times.

Cheers! :D

That has to be a touchstone on at least trying to enjoy life.
