On this day in 1983, there was this: ZZ Top at the Spectrum. #concert #zztop #philadelphiaspectrum

Fifty-two years ago today, July 20th, one small step for a man became one giant leap for mankind. #nasa #moon #neilarmstrong #apollo11

Now playing: #dustyspringfield. (That’s it. That’s the post.)

I do a deep-dive into one of my favorite songs, “Goin’ Back,” on my blog today. (Link in bio.) Written by #gerrygoffin and #caroleking, it’s probably best known for the classic versions by #dustyspringfield and the #byrds - but many others have pressed it to wax, including #edyegorme (“better than I thought,” says my wife) and the #pretenders.

A Record World music #advertisement from November 1979. ($5.47 = $20.47 in today’s dollars.) #musicads #1970s #1979 #recordworld

Happy birthday, #lindaronstadt!

So I stumbled across this in the #waybackmachine - the front page of the original Old Grey Cat website on #geocities from October 1999, with my Bryce-designed cover art. (It’s amazing that I still remember the convoluted address!) Looks like it wasn’t indexed in its first year (1997) and only a few times in ‘98, ‘99 and ‘00. #oldtimesgoodtimes

I take a deep-dive into Sleeps With Angels by #neilyoungandcrazyhorse on my blog today (link in bio) - it’s one of their best works, I think. #classicalbums #essentialalbum #neilyoungarchives
