Its Cowboy music if I can find some if not I pop some in the CD. Country is OK for seconds but I like the original Cowboy songs.

 

I listen to the purr and the distinctive sound of my Y-Block. I ain't got no radio or no stinkin' tape player. Just got a bone stock farmer truck like it came from the factory, no frills, not even a passenger side sunvisor.

When I got the truck in '77 as a kid in college I tried to put an 8-track player in or put somekind of am/fm receiver under the dash, but since it was a 6 volt positive ground it was tough. The 6-volt porblem could be overcome I learned but hooking up a negative ground radio to a positive ground truck was harder to overcome, so thankfully I gave up and didn;t cut holes in the dash or butcher something up, so I was resigned to singing my favorite Billy Joel, Boz Scaggs and Springsteen in my head as my snowtires (or mudgrippers, as my grandfather called them) kept the rythym. The sumer I got the truck my girlfriend and I drove from her place near Philly to Wildwood and she had a battery operated 8-track player, Wow! what a good time!

Today I appreciate the time in my truck with out electronic noise as a time to think, dream and remininse. And once in a while I belt out a few lines of the Lido Shuffle or the Piano Man.

Yours in the past, Abe
I know all of you young guys heard of Joel and Springsteen but do you know about Boz Scaggs?

 

So different from the days of 8 track tapes. Downloading MP3 from the Internet and burning a CD for a cruise. I find myself listening to some of the rebels or some you had a major influence on rock, Stones, Eric, Beatles, Neal Young and others. One time wonders where someothers that can be found like, Five man electical band (signs), can name others?

Listen to St Pepper with the heavy drum intro in a cab of a ford.
