When I was around 15 or 16, I bought this album entitled "Short, Sharp, Shocked". It was on cassette tape and the music was a constant companion in my youth particularly a song in it called 'Anchorage' about a letter received from a childhood friend reflecting their days of old. I used to like the song, but now I like what it means to me as well. I'm nostalgic about old times and how things used to be. Our heritage regardless of whether it is good or bad serves to enrich us if we allow it to.

I started a personal project last month. Penned the first few pages of my autobiography, something I'm glad to have started as its long overdue. I like how its going to be written as life long work. That means it won't be done until I am. No deadline just something personal that keeps me intact. If there's going to be a soundtrack for it, I feel that 'Anchorage' has it to be just the perfect one.



If you like this, check out Memories of East Texas also off the same album. The bootlegged video is not fantastic but still beats a lot of today's MTV.

By the way, I'm clearing things to prepare a room for Rachel who will be moving in to stay with us next week. These are new unopenned Bob Dylan cassettes of rare and unreleased songs in a box. Let me know, if you still have a cassette player, like Bob and have a ear for some nostalgic folk music, I can give it to you.
