Ugh! lol I grew to enjoy baseball as an adult fan, but I was awful as a Little Leaguer, as were my two sons. IMO, most youngsters are not benefited by playing organized baseball at a tender age. The skills needed to excel at baseball are absent in most young people. Soccer is better exercise. Too bad the days are long gone when kids organized their own sandlot baseball games for fun, not because their helicopter parents had it on their calendars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I loved those days. We didn't have the official little league, but instead a program that was similar run by the Optimist Club. I had friends on other teams, and one practiced right near my house and if our team wasn't practicing I would go practice with them. I was normally at second base, but for the other team the coach would put my friend and I in the outfield, and the two of us would cover the whole outfield by ourselves. When there was no organized ball, we would make pick up games at the park, or just use whatever type of ball we had, including wadded up tape balls and play in the cul-de-sac in the neighborhood. The metal drain covers were always the perfect home plate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Range Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 It’s a Fleetwood Mac day today With a little bit of my art collection featured in the background A classic album that does not get old Artist - Fleetwood Mac Title - Rumours 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 That was one big release for Fleetwood Mac. That tour... man they lost a lot of fans in this area, they cancelled the show. Almost a year later here in town a whole week prior to the show partying hardy all over town and in the newspaper something about a fish camp down at the river (an already famous one). Contact lens problems were listed, a trip to the dr. Rescheduled show cancelled as well. In jr high at the time and some people I know told me they had thrown away their tickets at that point. Kinda like Jimmy Buffett cancelling but parrot-heads are very happy when blitzed and forgiving too. He walked off the stage early on once at the Memorial Stadium and did not come back out, I don't remember if he ever came back to Charlotte after that time! @baron167 never seen a wooden tonearm before... that is a neat turntable! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 In Deep is the fourth studio album by Argent, originally released by Epic Records in 1973. It features the original full-length recording of "God Gave Rock and Roll to You." Great LP, sde 2 is slick! Flowers of Evil is the third album by American hard rock band Mountain. It was a part studio album, with the second side of the original album consisting of live material recorded on June 27, 1971 at the Fillmore East in New York City (partial). Flat out KILLER!!! The entire album cooks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo14ydEHjGs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Nice! The old ones here have that high gloss shine like I thought I was seeing there. That new to me Kansas from a month or so ago has a small sticker on the label with LAST printed in it. Discovered it's a treatment to make some surface noise sound better, and protect the lp. I'd say it works not sure if any negative effect to the sound but it has that same black high gloss sheen too. Score!!
