Gettin' Funky, Old School

So, for anyone who Liz hasn't brought back to the sunny room already...we now have a sweet 8-track stereo system up and running.

For some strange reason, 8-track tapes are no longer in wide circulation, but we've managed to get a few for our listening pleasure. Some are in better condition than others...Gloria Gaynor appears to be the best at this point, but I've got an e-Bay bid riding on a McCartney & Wings "Band on the Run" 8-track that just might have to get played non-stop until I'm sick of it, if I win the bidding.

So, baby boomers and immediate post-boomers, bring all your old 8-tracks to the sunny room and take a stroll down memory lane. We could even clear some tables and you can show us your moves. (Alex, we know you've got moves that you haven't busted out in a long time.)

. . .

Sad update...

It looks like the Funk Factory needs some cleaning and tuning up before we entrust any really good 8-tracks to it. This afternoon it ate up Peter Frampton (not "Comes Alive"...that would have been a trajedy...the album was "It's in Me," ironically). Dang!
