Happy Birthday, Jack!

Happiest of Happy Birthdays to DR JRand65 who, I'm guessing, is going to absquatulate with the preponderance of line notes today (most of which should be "Happy Birthday" greetings).

And a tip of the "Happy 47th Birthday" hat to FDR JoseSPiano whose face I see quite often on FaceBook....more often than not with some food items poised to be consumed right beside it!

Indeed! And I am restarting.

And suddenly, there was no light.

My internal clock told me it was around (or about) 6 a.m. this morning.

My eyes told me differently. My bedroom was dark.

I got up anyway and checked the clock. It was 6:01 a.m.

WTH?

It was not dark at 6:01 a.m. YESTERday.

I mean, I knew it was coming, this earlier darkness, but it seems things happen SUDDENLY here in Oakland.

There is no gradual darkening...or lightening. I noticed this a few years ago when I got off work at 5 p.m. (I now get off at 4:30 p.m., but that's not important). One day, the afternoon was approaching dusk and the next day, dusk had descended without so much as a how'd'ya do.

Happily, my internal clock told me that regardless of the quality of light (or the lack thereof), it was still time to get my butt out of bed.

When I departed home, I had the quality of light I was used to upon arising from bed.

I love Capitol Records! Home of the Beatles AND The Beach Boys.

HOWEVER I hate Capitol Records for one thing.....I am pretty sure they were the company that started using that stupid album cover that had a flap the opened like a book and then you pulled the record out of the middle of the cover.

NOT a gatefold cover that was solid and the record came out the end of the back.....

I can't find a good picture of what I mean.....

Ode to Change (with apologies to song's writers):

Everything's been changed
Nothing's like before
Things I did before
I do no more
They're all behind me
Everything's been changed
Since this morning's dark...

Please share if you do find one. Did Bell Records have a jacket like that for "Lost Horizon"?

Happiest of birthdays to DR JRand65! I will catch up to you (and qualify for Medicare) several months...

I think flashing is a fine way to celebrate a milestone birthday. Especially if the flashing is done in another state.

FJL · « **Reply #43 on:** August 26, 2015, 07:54:20 AM »

A very happy birthday to Jrand!!!!

John G. · « **Reply #44 on:** August 26, 2015, 07:54:31 AM »

Thank you, all, for the condolences. Just found out that we will be playing for Sharon's funeral. The piece is It Is Well with My Soul, which we recently played.

Yes. (And wasn't that also one of those that went in the bloody wrong direction?)

Jrand73 · « **Reply #49 on:** August 26, 2015, 08:00:05 AM »

Thank you DR GINNY, DR FJL, and DR CHAS SMITH

Jrand73 · « **Reply #50 on:** August 26, 2015, 08:01:23 AM »

Yes that cover DR RLP and yes DR CHAS SMITH it went THE WRONG WAY. The Lost Horizon cover was even worse because it had a graphic on it that was cut.

The Supremes Sing Funny Girl and the Wild in the Streets soundtrack LP also had those covers.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #51 on:** August 26, 2015, 08:03:04 AM »

And a happy birthday to FDR JoseSPiano ... who I only ever see evidence of when out on the town with other HHWers.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** August 26, 2015, 08:04:51 AM »

I've got a few other such record (and laserdisc) jackets. Most annoying. I can kind of understand why they did that for sets of three discs, but not with only one or two.

I do, too. The music selection is perfect and will be very moving.

There were a few other record albums, too, that "went the wrong way" for absolutely no discernible reason.
