Couple other things:
- Roadside motels advertising "Color TV."
- High-dive boards at swimming pools. (Heck ANY diving boards at swimming pools.)
- Bakers dozen (you buy 12 donuts and they give you a 13th free)
- A good hard old-school football hit where the player doesn't get flagged and/or fined.
- Studded snow tires (in my part of the country anyway)

| Like these?  
We can still buy studded snow tires here in Pennsylvania.
How about these? Aluminum Christmas trees. My mother still has one in the original box in her attic. Also, when I was a teenager, our guitar player's dad fixed up a box with a rotating color wheel that we used for our "light show"!    |

It might be kind of inspirational. Two that come to mind are Tony Iommi and Dusty Hill. |

Since I was a child, he's always owned a Gibson ES-120T and Gibson Banjo. Both are fun to play.
My late grandfather played the tuba, but I'm not sure if a tuba player would use their pinky regularly.

Which may be cause I didn't spend a lot of time practicing it  |
