1975 Songs: Squeeze Box

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 18 May 25

Soo…what follows the Carpenters? Yep. It’s all part of the wild and wonderful world of 1975. Remember, fifty years ago I made the dramatic shift from listening to the same Buck Owens and Jim Reeves music I’d been listening to all...

Sally Songs: Sally Simpson (#8)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 17 Sep 20

Given that I believe in God, I’m giving praise to God today. Thus far, the death toll from Hurricane Sally, which didn’t hit near where “they” thought it was going to, is one, with one missing. The damage is unbelievable...
