Seeing all your pictures and videos has been like time travel. Most of my memories from then are fun.
me in 1980
In this picture, my hair is pulled back, so you can't tell how long and thick it was. It went most of the way down my back and was like a small unruly shrub - the reason it was pulled back for a dressier occasion. Look at the picture below, where it's trimmed back considerably compared to 1980, and use your imagination. I couldn't find a photo that showed the shrub in its full glory.
me with my friend Cindy, 1988
Cindy was one of my closest friends in my early years in New Hampshire. After she got married and had kids, we didn't have nearly as much time to hang out together.
Here are a few favorite tunes from back in the day. Enjoy!

Life seemed so carefree then...
That suit is smokin!
Scarlett - Glad you enjoyed the tunes. Musical time travel is always a good time.

Abrawang - Any day's a good day for Joe Jackson.
Video really killed radio in so many ways. I remember people sounding really good. Now they have to both sound passable and look passable and it's lowering the quality of the songs and singers.
eh...oh well :D ha! change, gotta love it. It's not like you can fight it.
Julie - Yep, things are gonna change. It's a shame that musical talent had to be pushed aside for the sake of appearance. We've gotten prettier, emptier packages. I won't be buying Taylor Swift albums anytime soon.
