    Nice, and that old Buick looks similar to the Le Sabre my folks had when I was a kid. The folk/country type of music like this perfect at times for more than just me obviously @Full Range

    Music was an integral part of the main character's personality.  I recommend reading the book, it is a real piece of art.  The underlying themes are quite thought provoking.  The author is Anthony Burgess---check it out.

     

    Now that I have been prompted 

    Yes I should

    A special treat for fellow spinners 

    This album is a soundtrack of a controversial but brilliant movie that was released in 1971  ( so it’s almost 50 years old ) 

     

    Superb synthesiser , classical and Prog music 

    In fact / and in my opinion the music was a key ingredient of the intensity the film needed 

     

    Below is a script of the opening lines in the movie 

    Are you a droog ? ( hint ) 

     

    Title - A Clockwork Orange

  8. Sorry for my absence- very very busy at work

    Here is a sample - on the movie The Shining

  10. Sunday night at FRs Casa de Musica 

     

    Spinning a debut album that was in amongst a bulk buy of records 

    This particular album is a reissue deluxe release with extra tracks included in a second LP 

     

    The only Hip Hop /  Rap album I own 

    But it’s a good one ☝️ I like the track - Poetic Justice 

    I have read that the material was so good that it was begging to be recorded 

     

    Artist Kendrick Lamar 

    Title - M.A.A.D. City

    For sure there are more expensive brands, but they are nice hats. My newest is a Riverina, and the original one was sold through Eddie Bauer. It was made like the Australian military hat with a clip on the side. The clip disappeared a long time ago, but it's been a good hat. I need to get the leather headband replaced though.

     

     

     

    All parts in Akubra hats are replaceable check with your hat retailer 

    I also had a military  Akubra - a great hat but it was to big for me so I gave it to a mate

    I have a couple Akubras, one my parents gave me for my 16th bday in... 1965.

     

    Those Akubra’s last a lifetime if looked after 

     

    I have a summer White Akubra and an urban felt Akubra called the Bogart 

    Other brands are a handmade beaver felt and a wool felt 

    About 10 flat caps and about 25 modern logo / brand caps one for many occasions 

     

    So I’m covered all year round 

    And just in case you ask -  No I’m not going bald to cover up

    Thanks Paul, good to have you around!, enjoying this album tonight, feels good to be back listening.   Last weekend was our first show of the season (Neil Diamond Tribute Band) which was Saturday evening, then Sunday being Easter, we were out all day into the evening, so, I wanted to make a plan to be here both Friday and Saturday evenings with something to share...   

     

    Well, I hope you are well, I may go on to a CD recording next, but I will be back soon.    🍷

     

    Enjoy your day, as we get ready to bed down for the evening here in the States...  -_-

     

     

    We both have great taste in music 

    Have a good listening session, and we will catch up again soon

    We had a windstorm after the front moved through. From years riding a bike (4 cyl, 4 carbs, 1100, 6 spd) I know that was over 50 mph we had today. Power has been out for hrs, game is on, can't watch😫 At least it isn't hot or cold today.

     

    Listen to the game on

    Radio with batteries

    Or in the car

  15. @dirtmudd 

     

    In my youth about 45 years ago, I had a van fully customised with murals ( just like the custom vans in the USA ) 

    That album cover was on the back doors 

     

    Pity I have lost all the photos unless my mum has any - will ring her tonight to see 

     

    Something like this
