I hated 8-tracks and never owned one. I do remember listening to "Chicago" on a friend's unit though. REALLY BAD. You're rocking along on a song, and suddenly it stopped, and about 5 seconds later started up again. THAT was the unit changing tracks.

That comedian that talked about Yazoo City was Jerry Clower.

10/11. And everything I remember about 8-tracks comes from one that my older sister owned. I probably haven't even looked at in almost 50 years.

8 out of 11. Mostly guesses.

Still have a storage divider full of 8 tracks and a player I took out of my 56 Nomad before I sold it

I got 8 out of 11. I guesed at this. The only reason I got one of them.right is because of The Simpsons episode where Bart Sells His Soul. They were in church and the congregation was singing In The Garden Of Eden by I Ron Butterfly. My mom used to have some of those 8 track tapes when I was a kid. She had one that played a song I loved called Daddy What If. I used to listen to it, but when it played I could also hear Jolene by Dolly Parton at the same time. But it was at a lower volume, like in the background. She also had several albums. One was Creedence Clearwater Revival. She and my late father loved them, and one was some man, name long forgotten that was a country style comedian. He talked about living in some town and talked about how he sang Juanita as Jonjita. He talked about Yazzoo Mississippi.

Had some laying around in the
Garage on a shelf by my 69
Chevelle convert years ago and my young nephews asked me
What kind of video games are those HAHAHAH
Molly Hatch on cover

I work for a freight company and was SHOCKED to see we were shipping some 8-track players for cars in 2003! Needless to say, most of the younger workers were asking what an 8-track was.

I do remember pulling out the cassette and having 3 ft of tape wound up inside the player... ahhh the good old days

I had an 8 track player in my car we would wedge a book of matches under the 8 track to make it sound better....
Also when they were unplayable they were great to throw at cars that cut you off lol

10/11. Missed number 4.

7 out of 11

4/11 ... welp 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had to buy a new car in 2020 as my 2013 Honda Civic was totaled. I couldn’t believe they don’t put CD players in cars anymore. I’m very sad about that.

Think of this... if you're (at least) in your sixties, you've lived through 78 rpm, 33 rpm, 45 rpm, cassette, 4 track, 8 track, reel-to-reel, wire recording, compact disc, DVD, Blu-Ray and now streaming! Anyone alive who's made it to 100 or greater would likely also remember Edison cylinders and piano rolls... Technology doesn't march on... it flies!

Does anyone remember the PlayTape 2-track mini-cartridge player or the Philco Hip Pocket records (similar to the EvaTone SoundSheets you used to find in magazines)...?

They were pressings made on thin plastic sheets about 3-1/2 inches in diameter and had 2 songs on them - like a 45. (You had to use the Philco Hip Pocket portable phonograph for best results.

The EvaTone SoundSheets were made to play on standard record players, but often you had to place a penny toward the center to keep them from slipping while turning...

See how well you remember 8-Track tapes
You got 11 out of 11 (ELEVEN)
Groovy! You did gr-8!

Golly, gosh darn,
tarnation, I amaze myself.
Well, simple explanation, I was there,... been thair, done that!
Way to go, Marcos.

Eleven out of eleven (11/11). Perfect score.

Here's some ways I "educatedly" guessed the correct answers, where I wasn't sure.

My thinking:

1. & 2. You bet! That's their essence. It's like seeing an animal called giraffe, then forgetting that there's something odd or unusual about the animal's neck.

3. Carol B.'s buddy visited at Genesee several years ago. I do remember her big top 40 hit. Carol was never a player (as to pop music), and CW, am not sure who she is. Laverne's sidekick from Milwaukee?

4. Partly wild guess, although last time given was definitely too late.
And, when I was in kinder? Heck, there was no such a thing then.
As a child, I played with a little, reel to reel, one from Dad's office, a German dictaphone. Plus, I used a "toy" at home, strictly for amateurs.

5. I belonged to that record club. I can show you stuff in my collection, obtained from them. I recall very well how that worked.

6. Tim and I saw these guys perform in Kenosha. When? Maybe 8 years ago.

Recall Loidy, previously I had attended alone by myself at concert, Paul McCartney. No one was available to accompany me. Subsequently, T & I attended 6 or 8 other concerts, this one given in Keno (most othrs in Wkgn).

7. Came down to 2 choices and a lucky guess. Cadi ain't gonna do it; it's not high class enough.

8. What I meant about, "4 sides to an album".

9. Bonzo passed in 1980. Eagles were pretty much broken up by early 80's. Thus,...

10. I played "Money" for Poupko @ Northfield. Recall Josh visited a few sessions? Did Owl ever attend? Loidy was there at least once, and Linda was a wee baby.
I learned nearly 100 songs from Mike. So, of course I know this band.
"Money" is ambitious music, has something like three different time signatures, in a brief couple of minutes. That's something rare (and good).

11. Loidy followed me around Hato Rey when our kids attended Colegio Mita. She knows I got into Jobim (Brazil). And, I know something about show biz, who Jobim connected to, a real big-shot, here in USA. Is how his music caught on in our country ("Girl from Ipanema"). Our American singer was his auspiciador, one might say.


Wow! Daddy knows something (about something).
Now, can we all make money off of his talent?

Papi, later Emoji

I got the Pink Floyd question only because I saw Money.

8/11. Pretty good for not ever having owned a single 8 track tape.
