“A dazzling array of electronic magic…”

Well, hello. Would you believe I’m still getting over being sick (I got a touch of pneumonia – but not a trace of the boogie woogie flu). I’m definitely through the worst of it and back at the keyboard. I should be relatively “normal” within a few days.

On this fine day, I’ve got a quartet of commercials from 1979 lined-up for you. 1980 model car spots for Thunderbird and Mazda, as well as Kinney shoes and Natural Light beer. Go to it. I’ll just be hanging back here sipping my hot tea.
