Instead of playing baseball, I was busy watching episodes of Star Trek and Lost in Space. My imagination was off the chain and it wasn't unusual for me to spend hours of time pretending to be a super hero, alien or a sleestack from Land of the Lost. My future as a band geek was already secure. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2018-01-29 19:47:17 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History
