Default Re: Midwest flooding

lol ! I think everyone hid someone in the trunk at least once or twice. Patti the reason they give down here why Drive-In's are closing, is VCR's. In the early 80's people started buying them. My very first VCR was an RCA (2 heads) that I bought in 1980, paid $2000 for it, just so I could watch "Gordon Lightfoot Olympic Tribute Concert" he did at CNE in Toronto.

You see I knew the guy who sold them, and I asked him if he would set the machine to tape that concert which was on a Sunday night. The store was closed on Sundays in those days... I told him if you agree to do that for me I will buy the machine in a few weeks. But I thought in would not work, something would happen and that VCR machine would not come on at 8:00 pm on CBC TV, how could that possibly occur "Magic?" So he did, and it recorded it, and I kept my word. Must have watch that concert thousands of time.

But their still "Olympic Team Benefit' which Gord did in 1976 at Maple Leafs Gardens that I would like to owned, and a few early Juno Awards shows, where Gord was winning them by the basket full.

Today you can buy a 4 head VCR for less than a $100 dollars, and of course DVD machines...aso.
