Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

There's a guy we lost way too early.
Amen brotha plaid!
Legand has it he had written and recorded all but the last verse of "Sitting by the dock of the bay" before his sad and untimely death. Before releasing it they had someone whistle the end of the song. IIRC, from my history of rock and roll class, the timeline matches up (released after he was killed), but it's not known to be factual.
I dig his music. A lot. I wonder had he not left us, how many of his upcoming hits would have made it to pop music airwaves and charts. Certainly there would have been more.
I guess the average joe/joanne who wasn't there has no clue who he is. Most have probably heard dock of the bay, but might not know who sang it, much less anything about the man and his music.
Does it have a network cable coming in from a small box, then another cable going to the wired computer (+ wireless ofcourse)? Or does something from outside the house connect to it?
Pic of the back?
Who is your Internet provider?

That's why I believe it important to keep the reminders coming

I’ve Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)
Written by Otis Redding and Jerry Butler on the road in a Buffalo motel room. I think that the rich sounding slow Steve Cropper guitar adds atmosphere and makes the song. The drum beat followed by the horns punctuate the song and add a sense of urgency.
Interesting to note that Otis quit high school and played in Little Richard’s house band. In 1962, Little Richard played in Hamburg Germany sharing the bill with the Beatles. Little Richard’s organ player was a 16 year old kid named Billy Preston who later played on Get Back on the Let It Be album. They go way back.

It is indeed, part of my HO scale train set.
Brian Jones, Rod Stewart, and Neil Young were all train enthusiasts.
My great grandfather was a conductor on a steam train, his son, my grandfather, was a plumber that worked for the railroad on steam engines.

Not a big fan of Rod or Neil musically, but, being a train nut, I'm a fan of the two of them.
I thought I recognized the house and the Nomad.
Hey, you GOF! The sidewalk's public property! Go holler at somebody else.
(At least, that's what I wanted to yell back when I was a kid riding my bike around the block, but not allowed to use the street. Yeah, I mighta put tire tracks on some grass cuttin' the corners, but I couldn't help it.)
@steve_rolfeca I’m really sorry for your troubles. My benefit plan is though Sun Life and they cover almost everything. Without it Dorothy and I would be lost. Pensions only go so far. Be well soon and get that bass singing!
