I love your blog and read it all the time. when i saw this video i thought it seemed appropriate to share. there's a feeling of nostalgia, even if nothing is vanishing...

I like that Merinov has photos of the Speedies. The guitar player went to my high school, a year or two older than me. He was our own celebrity. They threw sugary cereal at the audience during their show and had one song that got some radio play. They make me smile for youth. Thanks.
