STREET LIFE

[E7]

Kind of doubt it -- Deep Purple is a serious dinosaur of rock........you'll only be surrounded by your own generation.

Funny response Murph, you are quite good with anigifs.

Ritchie Blackmore, the guitar player (age 73) lives right up the street from you (11.5 miles north) in Allandale Nursing Home, Allandale, N.J.
Why don't you drive up and visit him? Those old guys in nursing homes get so lonely.

That's rather odd since he was on tour with his wife's band in July and also has some fairly young children.

That sneaky b*stard! Guess we'll have to cancel the visit!

I agree.

In a July 2016 interview with Radio Veronica, Blackmore revealed his own health issues.

I was wondering about that (tour in July) myself. I think I have been tricked by an internet posting saying he was in Allandale Nursing Home. I did not research the story. Wikipedia says he moved to Long Island in 1993 and nothing more about his location.

I better add a note to my posting about Allandale.

Maybe he was visiting that nursing home.?

Worn out by touring, the children, and his young wife,

The posting of the various music videos, etc., lead me to find many performers, pieces and sounds of which I was not familiar. Some I return to often. Some I never hear all the way through. But it is enjoyable. Music was my vocation for many years but is now more like a hobby. I have always believed that a hobby was for fun and like for music to also be fun. Over a period of many years I was able to get teenagers, mostly, to listen to classical music and other types that they would tell me they didn't like. Many did change their minds and developed a liking for other types. I never worked at trying to make this happen. I just had FUN.

Different music for different times, different moods, different places, different occasions, and associations with different people in our lives, huh.

I remember those juke boxes at your table for those who didn't or sometimes couldn't get up to go to the big one along the wall.
Sme didn't have a big one if they had the very latest.

That's even newer than most I used. That one as buttons, to electrically move the pages for you. Remember the ones that had a stack of levers sticking up so you could move them mechanically. Good members Murph. All the best joints had these table jukebox controls.

That is a very modern box. Selector for loud and soft so it played at your table.
Also on the table is the pink package of sugar substitute. Didn't have that in my
school days, high school or college.

[up148]

Good eye Roger. I should have scanned the table. Looks like it takes quarters too and I think back in the day they were a dime.

Looks like it's in the bathroom with that tile behind it.

Easier to clean up from all the sloppy eaters. Especially if someone pukes the food they just ate. Can't ever remember seeing little baskets with sugar, salt, pepper and hot sauce in any restrooms that I have been in.

[rogruth]

In my day it cost a nickle to play the juke box.

Somebody put a quarter in the jukebox
Somebody play that certain hurtin song
That one about forever, that one about no never
The one about the good love thats gone wrong

Country music so sad, don't they ever have a a happy moment?

Even sadder, I am not allowed to post the full lyrics for this jukebox song due to a DMCA takedown request.

So how is it I can listen to the full lyrics?:=> https://youtu.be/ZG94MBkczv0
