1972 ... Fall of my freshman year, which in my district was the highest grade at the junior high. Pretty sure this pic is from the following spring. I switched dance teachers for a year, and this one offered baton as well. #at40

Hey #at40 experts! A friend of mine posed this musical question and I told him I'd ask here, 'coz collectively, you guys know everything: Is the bass singer on "If You Love Me Let Me Know" the same bass on Helen Reddy's "Delta Dawn"?

Whew. Yesterday was a good day.

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

Where I grew up, the 'Stute* was the community social hub -- dance lessons, youth basketball, gymnastics, classes, a little bowling alley, a big common area where kids played the jukebox & board games, site of dances with bands. This countdown is the 'Stute jukebox countdown -- Lola, All Right Now.

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”

1970: 7th grade school pic. Earlier in the month, my sister got married in Ft. Lauderdale, where she lived, and that meant I got out of a week of school and had my first plane trip and first trip to FL. The marriage didn't last; he was a bad guy. #at40

#Rocktoberween 2025 wraps up with a new-to-me song that offers hope of ongoing Halloween spirit. Or something.

Good night, sweet dreams, #at40 friends & fiends!

By #Rocktoberween follower suggestion! I think I see the origins of Alice Cooper's look here.

I want to give a witch’s H/T to our
Rocktoberween Queen @nuzpeg.bsky.social by adding some dishonorable mentions.
(please join me) Bwahahaha!

#Rocktobetween, day 31, continues until I run out of gas or songs. You know, the more I listen to this one, the more I think it's NOT about a literal monster. Huh.

Happy #Rocktoberween! Day 31 continues with one that's new to me, but fits the mold. I've avoided some of the cliche songs, but this one might be better than Monster Mash anyway!

There it is, "Wildfire," first place I ever heard the phrase "killing frost." It would be many years before I learned what it referred to. #at40

I only knew Shaving Cream from Dr. Demento. No idea it was on the countdown.
