Most everybody calls me Dean.... some don't though

I think you need to keep your glasses on... I have been attributed with saying things I never said - so it's 'life' not 'ice' in this case.
Now that you mention it though, I do respect a man who knows what he doesn't want on his ice.

The 80's stunk. We have a classic country station here that plays country up to about 2000 which is good.

Dean, I drink my bourbon on the rocks also'.
PayDirt, Bobby-make an appointment to see me, I'll take care of those vision problems.
I listen to all my music now thru Spotify app and my Bose Minisound link. Listening mostly to acoustic instrumental guitar players and the likes of James Taylor, Jim Croce, Lightfoot, and others of that genre.

I sat by my first of the season cook stove fire a few weeks back tightening the forend screw of my 16 Trojan. One of the songs on the Bose was " Beyond the Sea" by Bobby Darin. We used to walk to grade school in Philly singing it and pretending we were him.

Spent my early years with the likes of Chet Atkins, Les Paul, dad let me use his old Gibson, circa 1920, put flat wound black diamond strings on it so it would not squeak so bad, finally got an electric believe it was a Silverton, can not remember so long ago, have several guitars now but sad to say rarely ever play, or may I say play at it, Here is a couple photos of the old girl, 95yrs still sounds great, gary

I do miss cruising around in a muscle car with a cold beverage between your legs (cup holder in a muscle car?). Now it's only old farts with these 60's cars at cruise ins, and we can hardly get in and out of them. But through my eyes, everything looks the same. Ah, the good old days.

I'm with you. I love listening to music from the 40's, especially on Sunday afternoons between coverts and while taking a break for lunch or a snack. Call it nostalgic but it just seems to fit. I think of my dad and all the old timers who loved their dogs and their doubles, drank rye and smoked pipes.

I used to smoke a pipe a long time ago. To me it was more satisfying than cigarettes... (and I never got the hang of smoking cigars...)
I still have one of my pipes around here someplace... I may try it again, just once in a while. I did the 35-year smoking stint and that will never happen again - but I always liked the aroma of a good pipe.

Not a fan of today's country music but I do like a lot of the Americana genra. Jason Isbel, Lucero, Hayes Carl, Townes VanZant, Robert Earl Keene. Jason Isbel may be the best songwriter in the country today. There is a lot of great music to be heard but you won't find it on traditional radio.
