I'm as pleased as if I'd been at the opening of King Tut's tomb, because I excavated something I thought was lost. Digging through a bottom dresser drawer yesterday, way in the back and wrapped in a shirt I found a treasure trove of 45's, old vinyl records that I thought were gone.
Three years ago I bought a combo record player, CD player and radio at Belk's. I dug out my Ray Charles and Peggy Lee albums and have enjoyed those. But I always wondered what I'd done with a stack of 45's, and was so tickled to find them yesterday.
I've written before about how much I like Donna Summer's "Mac Arthur Park." Today I've played her full blast over and over, that hard disco beat as she sings "Spring was never waiting for us dear, it ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance.....I recall the yellow cotton dress, foaming like a wave in the ground beneath your knees.....Mac Arthur Park is melting in the dark, all the sweet green icing flowing down..."
There was Linda Rondstadt and "Blue Bayou"  Paul Davis and "I Go Crazy" Judy Collins and "Send In The Clowns" Queen and "We Are The Champions" Peter Frampton and "Signed Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours" Village People and "In The Navy" Bob Seger and "Fire Lake"  and "Long Twin Silver Line."
Lots of others in that stack, and I'm lost in the past, and the house is rockin.' If only I had a joint.
