Saturday Night Fervor

After going out Friday night with some friends, I made Saturday a night in with the converting of 1980s LPs and 12-inch singles to MP3s for a few gifts I am giving to friends. This is a sometimes tedious but ultimately rewarding process. There is nothing like getting a note or e-mail from a friend across the country who is excited to get a CD I mailed that brings back some obscure memory from two decades back to recall where we were when we first heard that tune by Romeo Void, Tuxedo Moon, the Gang of Four and various other oldies from the Reagan years. Yep, you guessed it, no Whitney, Mariah or Celine in any format at this abode. Gay, yes, but not that kind of gay.
