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

We even made a disco ball out of a Styrofoam sphere and pieces of a broken mirror glued all over it, suspended from a giant rubberband, and illuminated by three flashlights. Mid-teen stoner ingenuity! Cranking out a Pioneer SX828, stacked Advents, Dual turntable playing GD, Allman Bros, the Band (hey 1973 was Watkins Glen!), the Who, and even Kraftwerk deep into the umpteenth bowl. Yikes!
By 73' too many maimed, dead, and unknowingly dying friends. "What ever you do, don't go" was a mantra I heard by all those who did return.
The Draft would be ending in just a few months ending seven years of life underground with a lifetime ahead.

In 1967 KJAZ and Tom Donahue's show between 6pm - 6am on KMPX SF Bay Area FM necessity was met with a Fisher receiver and a Benjamin Miracord/Shure TT. STEREO!
