1973

I'm 14 in a detached garage converted into a teenage playground with a waterbed, blacklights, SS Japanese silver behemoths,  and speakers hanging inside nets. Admit it you were there once. Anyone have thoughts on the nets as a viable option for speakers? (Can't believe I remember this....pretty hazy in that garage.) Joe

Ten years old. Listening to KLH speakers through a Fisher tube amp. Then, believe it or not,  reel—to-reel. Long gone, maybe a Tandberg?  We made the recordings from albums. 

My my dad used to keep the amp and turntable in a wooden chest. I’m surprised he didn’t start a fire.

Strawberry Alarm Clock the incents and peppermints song was the guy from Lynyrd Skynyrd who wrote the Sweet Home Alabama riff.  he wanted to play in a psychedelic band back then.  A friend of the band visited with them and that guy sand the peppermints song.  he was not a member of the band and never joined the band.  Go Figure.
