Without officially joining Spotify I made this playlist for Madison a few weeks back. I choose fifty 45s from the two stacks that were next to our turntable (in current rotation) and I was able find clean copies of all of them on Spotify. I put a custom cover on the playlist and figured out how to order it although I kind of like random. I was surprised how easy and fun it is to assemble. Algorithms providing plenty of distraction with a minimal amount of advertising.
Today I reassembled my Apple Music playlist, “Stop The World,” on Spotify. I shared the link with Madison again because I learned her parents were married in a Moose Lodge. The band I was in Indiana played all the social clubs (Elks, Eagles, Eagles, Moose, American Legion, VFW) as well as coon hunts. I knew nothing about country back then but I grew to love the classic cryin’ in yer beer stuff. That band, the On Fours, played most of these songs.
