I’ll never forget the September day early in
our marriage when I was cleaning house and found Bob’s stash of 8-track music tapes.
WHAT A TREASURE CHEST! Cream, Steppenwolf, ZZ
Top, Iron Butterfly, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd – just to
name a few I was quickly rummaging through while my head was spinning; all the bands
I was familiar with, and wasn’t aware Bob was aware of.
I had no idea my legal-beagle husband had
such a wild streak 😉; I hadn’t known Bob in his wild years … as I mentioned many
times before, I didn’t even know his Name until we met face to face in March of
1974: I’d met him after he settled down and burned out his teenage persona.
So, when he came home, I grilled him about ‘the
find’ and delved into his past: I wanted to know everything about the man I
loved; the man I married.
That weekend he took me on a looooong meandering
drive over backroads; I packed a lunchbox lunch, filled a thermos with coffee,
and bought a 6 pack of beer to enjoy … and we listened to every single 8-track in
his music cache :-D
The red-white '56 Ford Bob had when we met in 1974.
Internet pic of a mountable 8-track player; similar to the one Bob had installed in his truck.
Then my sister ramona, and 3 of her friends
from Texas, came to stay with us for a month … AND STOLE EVERY TAPE when they
left!
