....but now I live in Pennsylvania. I recall the first 45rpm I bought, The Impalas "I Ran All The Way Home (Just To Say I'm Sorry)". When I listen to that one now, I AM sorry! I just can't get over the over=produced failure it was. But at the age of 5, I didn't care. Now it's another story. I found this site by accident looking up Rod Stewart's HO train layout. On that link was also a mention of Neil Young's expansive layout (I have none). So when I saw this website was listed, here I am. I don't know whether I should list the music I love the most. There are many groups I a fan of, expecially The Beatles, Free, Steve Miller and many many more. I gues I will try and list them in my bio. Here is soemthing else I think about though, modern radio is dead and (although my son is a video librarian for ViaCom/MTV/VH-1) I think that medium is dead as well. When MTV first appeared, it was on the tube almost 24/7, except when the origianl Saturday Night Live was on. So, I rely on finding new music, what little I can tolerate my various methods. I have a modest amount od dicsc (ni I-Pod or MP3) in my collection. I may pick up an I-Pod along the way, but it's not a priority. So, I'm going to go through the site and see where I will latch on. So far, this appears to be an elightening discovery.:cheers2

An enlightened discovery we are indeed. Welcome Elfranco. I'm sure you'll find quite a bit to latch onto here.

Forgive me for what I am about to divulge: I was born in the South Bronx only 12 blocks from Yankee Stadium. I never set foot in the place. My dad was a Cleveland Browns fan and I never took to baseball. Besides, I need rock and roll and love more than anything. Nothing wrong with sports of any kind, mind you. I have given up on pro football because of the over-payed cry-babies. I watch the last 10 laps of a race to see if Chevy lost. And I love Free and The Beatles most of all. I do admire some older tunes from the 30's to the 50's, but life as a true believer occurred in the 60's. Thanks to all of you for kind welcome. Or as one of my favorite guitarists Frank Zappa once said, "great googly moogly".

^^I am in a similar position now Elfranco, I used to live and die with my sports teams but now I don't really care, and agree about the absurd amounts of money they are all making. Music has always been a big part of my life and that is not going to change.:rock:
