Random Memorial for Monday 5/28/18

Gone but not forgotten:  another cassette getting thrown out because the CD version is also in the music collection and because there's only so much space for "things" as you get older.

By the way -- what's *not* being discarded?  The 78 full sized vinyl album of Hey Lewis & The News' 'Fore' released in 1987 (a big year for me) -- an item that I also still have in that collection -- 'cause vinyl has cache that cassettes just don't.

Anyway -- back to the item pictured in the trash can ... it's the 1996 greatest hits and more collection (with four new songs) named 'Time Flies'.  And the fact that it's from the 90's shouldn't be a surprise, seeing as how the 90's were a big time for cassettes.

As for the song to feature in this goodbye post (again, to the cassette -- NOT to the CD), it's been established that I'm a sucker for a loud horn section, and there may not be a hornier horn section than the one in 'Doin' It All for my Baby' (the fifth top ten hit from the aforementioned 'Fore' album).  Horny horns ... you will be missed ... but only until I pull out the CD for another listen ...

DOIN' IT ... DOIN' IT ... DOIN' IT ... YEAH!:
