Yes, it does, Guitar Man, you're fashing ...
Good Afternoon Base Campers Status Lighthouse and pwrguru along with little mermaid are still at it on Trek #28 - Texas. There is no upper limit as to how long you can stay, so everybody is welcome to join. Directions: Click Base Camp Forum in my signature/Where we're at/link - and click the turquoise "join this team" button. Culture Music: Today, we could start with something that put Ghost Plane's grandparents in the mood - some I suppose you never heard of in spite of them entertaining in American TV-shows, at the Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan, the Chez Paree in Chicago and the Cocoanut Grove in Hollywood: The Swe-Danes: Swedish Alice Babs (more than capable of the High C) Svend Asmussen on the violin, and Ulrik Neumann on acoustic guitar - that was before power guitars were invented, of course Scandinavian Shuffle Now a leap back to the asbestos and shellaquer phonograph 78 rmp records. Leo (The Lion) Mathisen was a quite capable jazz pianist on the Danish jazz scene, here in his own composition: To Be or not to Be Let's rush forwards to vinyl and the ultimate tear jerking record from the jukebox at Matha's Ice Bar - a daring place to go in Næstved, Denmark, in its time ... The Platters in a double issue: The Great Pretender & Ohoonly Youuhuuu Advertisement: Come on! Try the Base Camp experience! Please join us now ... Trek #28 oven ready for you - nifty badge awaiting after one result!  |

"Five foot two, eyes of blue, but oh what those five feet could do, has anybody seen my girl?"
Granny was a flapper and I remember her records from the Roaring 20s before the floods got 'em. |

Good Morning Base Campers
Status Lighthouse and pwrguru along with little mermaid keeping the wheels turning on Trek #28 - Texas. We wouldn't mind company if any of you feel a trekking itch - there shall hardly be any new ones until around August 1 ... We'll keep this Trek open as a pacifier until a new one is decided upon. News In contrary to the Nine-o-Clock News on TV, we don't need to run news for half an hour when there is none. Short notices little mermaid will be flapping her tail in the Mediterranean surrounding Mallorca, Spain, from tomorrow until July 5. Base Camp's other four administrators are ready to welcome any newcomers - not that we are flooded ... BUT it would be nice if we were Gossip Base Camp playlists have been subscripted to by one person - a Russian, and it's not Yukon! bjbdbest has said she likes our music, too, in all its ecclectic horror, so I gave'em all a service check - some songs are not there anymore for different reasons, and I have found substitutes We also have Base Camp 7 playlist ready now. Here you go: Base Camp 1 playlist Base Camp 2 playlist Base Camp 3 playlist Base Camp 4 playlist Base Camp 5 playlist Base Camp 6 playlist Base Camp 7 playlist Culture Music: At some point back in time we linked to Willie Nelson singing On the Road Again, but that was before we began our playlists - the closet German inside me rebels over Base Camp 1 playlist only has 23 songs when the others have 24. This be hereby corrected, Fritz: On the Road Again On the Road Again Ghost Plane, of course I found your flapper grandmother's music "Five foot two, eyes of blue, but oh what those five feet could do, has anybody seen my girl?" Jane Gray (Peggy English) - Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue - it goes on Base Camp 4 playlist for the sake of my inner Fritz Finally, Fritz's Ordnung muss sein is completed with this lovely Dolly Parton one running into Base Camp 5 playlist I Will Always Love You Advertisement: Please give TLD, rwillis, pinky, and USAFA 82 their hands full - flood Base Camp, please! |

Thanks! Brings back memories of scratchy old records and playing dress up with musty old treasures stored away in mothballs.
