The crème de la crème of the chess world in a show with everything but Yul Brynner…
It pleases me to know you are a fellow sucker for ’80s pop.

Hmmm, the second Kenny Loggins in a “Frequently Listening To..” list. I just don’t know.

The Skydiggers! Sigh…. Oh how I love the Skydiggers! I will not give you a penny more than you deserve… Pure poetry. Now if I had a penny for every time I’ve seen them live….

There was this song Footloose, but there was also a great single I Need A Hero performed by the band Footloose. Ah, the good old days… *sigh*

This has gotten way out of hand — people are beating each other sensless with these musical batons! ;)

“See(eeee) chamelion, lying there in the sun…” — Slade, fantastic selection.

Do you think you’d be related to any Bleeks’ in Ireland. It’s a very rare name. The rest of the Bleeks’ are here in Ontario.
Who knows? It’s a small world

“…I got it! I got it! I got your number on the wall!”
Reminds me of lip-synching when I was a kid in camp. I used to do that song all the time at the camp talent show.
Ah, memories…
