Sneaking Into the Circus

I watched the documentary “Searching for Sugar Men” a few days ago with my sister from another mister, Joana - a documentary about the incredible artist Sixto Rodriguez. Now so many of his songs echo through my ears, and as I’m sitting here watching this beautiful photograph Vitor posted a few days ago these lines don’t leave my mind:

“The sweetest kiss I ever got, is the one I’ve never tasted.” (from the breathtaking song “Cause”).

If you haven’t seen this documentary yet: GO WATCH IT! The word amazing, a word I use too often, is way to weak for describing such a wonderful piece of art.

Where I might go today if I weren’t 6.5 hours away. BTW the pre-stripe Cone shows I’m an OG Cone fan!

Who remembers reel-to-reel tape recorders? How about 8-Track cassettes AND the sound they made when they switched from one to another of the four “tracks?” Regular audiocassettes, remember those? There was a time, when we had vinyl LPs aka record albums and ONLY various forms of audiotape. But, I’m dating myself yet again.

If I had a nickle for every time I threaded one of these. Holy smokes!
