Goodwill Vinyl Finds – Lots of Classic Rock!
The Goodwill Album Haul
So one of the things that I’ve been doing instead of writing blog posts is visiting Goodwills and hunting through their vinyl. sometimes you find nothing ,. Other days you find a few. And then there are the days, when you’re in the right place at the right time! Last Friday was one of those days! Nine of the twelve albums I found are shown above. As you can see they’re all classic rock albums and all in very good condition.
Toronzo Cannon Keeps Me Upbeat on My Run/Walk
So, as I’ve written previously over the last year, particularly from September to June I only ran sporadically.And I’ll tell you that the summer is not an easy time for this 73 year old to start over! Anyway the way that I am trying to restart my running is by both running and walking, Basically, I’ll run about a half mile and then walk a quarter mile and keep that switching going for about 30 minutes or more. It also turns out to be running until my heart rate gets up to about 140 bpm and then walking until it drops back to 110 bpm or lower.
The 1960s Folk Revival and Me……..
I was born in 1951 right smack dab in the middle of the American Folk Revival. This revival started in the 1940s and ran through the 1960s. It brought rural white and African-African American musicians to audiences everywhere. White artists include: Pete Seeger, Doc Watson, Jean Redpath. While African American artist included Leadbelly, as well as Mississppi John Hurt, Odetta, Elizabeth Cotton and Josh White. I wasn’t around for the 1940s and not listening too much music in the 50s.
