"Stormy weather" Ms. Viola Wills, " I am weeeeaaaarrry all the time". Great times at the Parade in NOLA, they always had "Dorothy Gale" and her twister on the screen, while Ms Wills provided the vocals.
 
I most remember the mid-70's from a variety of tunes... not just disco, but also stuff like Maria Muldaur "Midnight at the Oasis" (which really seemed to sum up the bar scene), "Really Love to See You Tonight (England Dan and John Fortcoli), as well as the usual disco - Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, Silvestri, etc.

Looking through my old 45 collection... including some 80's stuff - Tavares "Don't take away the music", Go-go's "Our lips are sealed", "We Got The Beat", Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes "Bad Luck", Undisputed Truth "You + Me = Love", Vicki Sue Robinson "Turn The Beat Around", plus a bunch of real oldies like "96 Tears" etc....
 
So,what happened?

If there are so many of us who were right there during the great disco era,how dit it all go to pot? All of the guys here absolutely hate it. They're more into acid rock,heavy metal and rap.Two of them were actualy bartenders at gay discoteques in Georgia and Miami Florida.One of them gave me his daily journal from that era when he was a fake gay man who tried to swindel cocaine via the gay crowds there.He and his friend assumed the main dealers importing the drug illegaly were gay and pretended to be gay themselves but found out later that wasn't true and moved on.He hates disco music,claims he never sucked or fucked any men and He became an ice addict.He has now been clean for twenty years.He just drinks beer from sun up to sun down.The good side of this is that we never run out!Between that and the 420 which is massive here and fields of this are legaly plentiful.There is a physician that gives a physical for $25 and gives you a card that legalizes your posession and use of pot.Up to 1/2 an ounce!A few months ago,I went to a double birthday party in Wiepeo (YPO) and had to drive through a field full and at its peak ready to harvest using a John Deer.You got high just from the aroma!If you are stopped by a police officer and show them your card proving you're using it for medicinal reasons,you are not arrested nor is your pot taken away from you.Times are changing and the beaurocrats who used to have a cap on this have all either died or somehow changed their own personal views on it.I can honestly say that I successfully quit smoking tobacco for almost twenty years now but that doesn't mean I don't smoke.I have never heard of anyone aquiring cancer or any other illness from smoking pot nor any major crimes commited by a stoner.I feel a lot less uncomfortable not having to worry about getting taken in and charged for posession with intention to distribute.The other islands here are far from being that leanient Especialy O'ahu where they used to film the show, "Hawaii Five 0" with the late, great actor,Jack Lord.In fact,most of the stores like Dollar Days here have all the parifinalia openly available and cheap.From bongs to papers. From rollers to screans.From corn cob pipes to glass pipes and from clear papers to flavored ones.The most expensive glass pipe I've seen here was $45. Mine was $12.It's shaped like a penis and has different colored lines all throughout.It is about 7"from bowl to mouthpiece and I clean it by pouring alcohol in a coffee mug,placing the pipe in and microwaving it for two minutes on high.Once removed,I turn on my spiget and run high presure hot water through the bowl and then use a Q-tip to remove any other loose residue.Afterwords,it looks like new. The only downside on these neat glass bowls is they break easily by dropping them and the people who drop them are rarely the owners.I have lost three so far but do have back up for futrure screwups.
