The Polack MSgt

In my 1st car I kept a shoe box full of 8track tapes (Part 1 of an occasional series) [View all]

It held more than you may believe since I wear 13EE shoes.

Some came and went as they inevitably destroyed themselves the way 8tracks always did.

Others, a few others, were always replaced as soon as I had the pocket change to buy another copy.

The most embarrassing selection by 2019 standards was probably Styx "The Grand Illusion" which was one of my top 5 albums back in the day.

OK, I get that Styx has not aged well, but any rock fan (prior to 1982 or so anyway) knew and loved this album.

My favorite 3 songs, in no particular order
