You mentioned "Romeo and Juliet". Have you heard Henry Mancini's theme to it.
Okay, this song just popped up on my computer. I thought you would like it

That was the first cassette tape I ever owned. My aunt bought it for me for my 13th birthday and I still have it. I transferred it to CD a few years ago and burnt it to DVD last week.
It is amazing how fast technology has changed over the past years and generations. I have much the same music as Nan, but mine is on cassette, as vinyl was replaced by the time I was old enough to buy my own music. And now my kids have very little idea what an album is. They were amazed when I played them one at my parents house. Sad, really....

I took some LPs of bagpipe music to class when I was taking a "folk music" class and had to give a presentation, back in college. The students had never seen one before and were fascinated. Fortunately, the a/v department still had plenty of "record players"
Just pass me the geritol, ok? and get the shawl and the rocking chair on the porch warmed up.

And now CDs have all but gone away

My sons are going to love those, Krex!
(I'm all about corrupting my children these days. )

Loved that video.....
Anyone here feel like they had this kind of day?

Sounds pretty rough Richie....I only have those days when I have to work. I did have a mini-melt down at the pharmacy...pretty common when you have to do something that involves a DR, an insurence company and an innoscent pharmacist, (I try and be nice to them by recalling Chuck).
This time....the DR had called in my new throid perscription(last time she forgot and went on vacation 
)...but the insurence company no longer helps pay for nicorette gum because it....is over the counter????? 
SO? Is that why we have more and more products offered "over the counter", so insurenc doesn't have to pay for it. This stuff is expensive and I have been payig for it out of pocket, but money is tight and I thought they would pay "their share" if I had a perscription...nope. It made me pretty mad but I didn't yell at the lady who was helping me...just backed away slowly and got out of there. AARRRGGGG 
I would really lie to know what all the cig taxs and money from sewing the cig companies goes...why am I not given this gum free, even if I choose not to quit, just to help me smoke less(one less nail in the coffin). I was checking out new research(was hoping to find a way to get a free MRI...to check for the alian inplant ) and saw something very interesting from the tobacco industry. They say it is to expenssive for most people to use these gums/mints in 3rd world countries,soooo, they are doing testing to push a new product for them to quit smoking(lol)....a new smokless tobacco with all new ingredients, so that you don't have to keep spitting. I would sign up for this but I don't live in a third world country.....yet.

The above link is a good article about Tom Lehrer....I think he might be aspie but my BF says..."no, he's just Jewish and all Jews are a bit aspie", (including himself)....weird. Anyway, Tom Lehrer is voting for Obama , invented jello shots to get around some army rules, lives alone(Don't think he was ever married or had kids...maybe gay??),hated preforming and traveling and is good in math...just a thought.
I just watched "The Bee Movie" last night,pretty good and the new Bob Dylan movie....not thrilled with it. Tonight is "I left my Heart At Wounded Knee"...which is going to be very depressing and "Why Do We Fight" about the military war complex...I think I may require an extra Effexor tonight....my bf seems to thrive on depressing movies(he never gets depressed).

Do you remember that story, Krex?
I have started seeing a therapist. She is a lovely lady who seems to be totally surprised I haven't gone right off the deep end. That in itself made me feel a little better about things. It's nice to be able to unload the negative, depressing baggage on someone that I don't have any attachment to. I really hate telling my problems to the people I care about because most people have enough of their own crosses to bear without me adding the weight of mine.
Krex is a very smart, insightful lady.
