    Who is your favorite "forgotten singer"?

    Chris Conner- what a sexy, smokey voice. I had never even heard of her until she was listed on a Johnny Mathis box set. He said she was an influence on his style as he saw her perform night clubs in San Francisco early on.

    songs that make you shiver/cry

    TELL ME WHY/THAT'S WHEN YOUR HEARTACHES BEGIN by the Big E, The King, TCB. There's many more, but lately I'm back in an Elvis mood.

    Best example of vintage with a modern twist I have seen in a LONG time.

    Decodence. Cool post. Crying shame it got trashed right off the bat. No point in my responding to any more of it. Opinions are just like navels. Back to lurking, I go.

    The Pace of Life in the Golden Era...vs. today

    I think we've all been conditioned to fill our luxurious free time with more activities. Movies at home, video games, sports events, shopping, exercising, road trips, eating out, socializing, etc. and etc. all make life seem more hectic than it has to be. In the "golden age", I wouldn't be...

    Best example of vintage with a modern twist I have seen in a LONG time.

    This looks like late 50s or early 60s mechanical fuel injection mounted to a Hemi dragster engine. The layman and even a lot of novices might not notice they now are electronic fuel injection units. All the wiring and injectors are hidden nicely beneath the finned valley cover. Now the fuel...

    Best example of vintage with a modern twist I have seen in a LONG time.

    GEE WHIZ,DUDE!!! You must be a H.A.M.B.er (jalopyjournal.com) in your other life. I suppose my resetable ciruit breakers and grounded wiring system retrofitted in my 80 year old house is wrong because it ain't "traditional", huh. I guess only screw-in fuses and clothe-covered wiring will have...

    Instruments - what do you play?

    Trumpet in high school. A little guitar, fiddle, mandolin and just a smidge on about anything I can play by ear, but I play nothing real well. Practicing is unfortunately the last thing on my list with three yunguns runnin about.

    check out these home cinemas...wow

    Parade House/Titanic Theater I was excited to see the Titanic theater. Here's the home that houses it. It's kinda special to me, because I'm the one who designed the plans for it. For the record, I created the space for that theater. Not the theater itself. It had an amazing feel to it. In...

    A most wonderful FM discovery!

    Live online works so far. Sounds good. A little Artie Shaw playing for me right now.

    Not Vintage but timeless!!!

    I'm ignorant of the details in that performance, but it sure gets me all tingly inside and proud and grateful to be an american. I wish I had half the discipline these gentlemen must have. My utmost respect to them.

    How did you find the lounge?

    Frankly, I don't remember what search led me here. But I'm glad it happened. I've been on the HAMB( Jalopy Journal.com) for a couple of years, but this fills my need for "everything else" vintage.
