Happy 45th Birthday Gyrate!
Released on this day by DB Recs in the US and Armageddon in the UK.

The release party was held on 11/18/1980 at The Channel Club in Boston, MA — where Pylon opened for Gang of Four along with Mission of Burma.

“Tam Lin” is a spooky story song performed by Bob Hay & the Jolly Beggars. They were an offshoot of Squalls, another Athens,GA band. They performed the music of 18th century Scots poet Robert Burns on bluegrass instruments. I love listening to it this time of year.

I celebrated my 70th birthday yesterday last night at home. My husband made dinner & a small carrot cake.Here I am with my oldest daughter. That I wasn’t able to make it to a No Kings protest was my only regret- watched the coverage on TV & then watched UGA win. Thank you for peacefully protesting.
