Ok, Admit it, we all rollerskated in various degrees of accuracy.... I personally after much practice could even skate backwards without usually killing someone (but that was a long time ago and my center of gravity has shifted somewhat)....

I ran across a friend that had an album from 1979 from "Ronco" (you remember their various artist albums being hawked every other commercial on TV). Well if you see something you would like to hear, let me know, it has from Pop to Alternative to Reggae to Punk on it.

Again, see a song you want (some prefer in private, pm me, and I will set ya up via pm).

Sample Song in the Alternative New Wave Vein

Flying Lizards - Money

Tomorrow (Lord willing) I plan a nice layout of Simple Minds songs.
