An image of the 45 RPM vinyl record front sleeve of “Victims of Goodbye”, by Sylvia on RCA Records from her “Surprise” album released in 1984. I had just returned from a road trip to the lower 48 with my grandma and this song had just been released. I’d save my pennies to be able to always buy Sylvia’s singles and albums.

An image of the 45 RPM vinyl record of “Smooth Sailin’”, by T.G. Sheppard released on Warner Brothers Records as the title track of his album in 1980. I got a bike radio for my birthday back then. Whenever I especially hear this song, it takes me back to those days of riding my bike and listening to my favorite radio station, AM 650 KYAK, which I landed a job there 7 years later. The station no longer exists but the memories sure do! 🎼
