Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

La Bamba kicks off with a bass line.
Yeah, I just thought of the 3 I posted, but so many more, including "My Girl", which I sing in our group. I introduce it by saying "I really like doing this one 'cos the beginning features......Me!"(also I get to set the tempo where I want it :smug:)
 
I used to have my maternal Grandfather's railroad watch; my nephew has it, these days!

Ball came into being from a need for an accurate railroad watch.

Mine is a Hamilton. There was a time when they presented people with a fancy watch when they retired. Seems that having the watch to get to work on time would have been helpful.

I was once given a fountain pen as a parting memento. I hardly ever sign my name anymore. I haven’t worn a watch in decades. Technology has changed life, not always for the better.

IMO, better than the Stones version. And she's better looking than Mick.


Everyone looks better than Mick, which seems to me the entire point. To my memory ... when The Rolling Stones and The Beatles held the main spotlights ~64-66, the Stones were the mean and ugly ones. Boys wanted to perfect the Mick "sneer".
 
Without a watch, time is on your side.



In college, back in the early 80's, I had the Rolling Stones Hot Rocks 1964-1971 album on vinyl. The first song on side 1 (of 4) was "Time Is On My Side". The record had a scratch on this song and would always skip a few grooves. I listened to the album a lot.

Fast forward years later, I bought this album on CD. It did not skip. It sounded different....like I am listening to an extended version or something of that song. I guess technically it was extended...by 4 grooves...or ~7.2 seconds...

I do miss the vinyl pops, hisses, and skips.

Ask and you shall receive. There’s a Waves plugin that can add hiss, pops, crackle, and more to a clean digital track. Skips can be accomplished by removing some of the track and adding a loud click.
